Jungkook's GOLDEN moment
Or, the media journey of our Golden Boy's debut album, and what it all means.
This post grew out of a question that popped into my head a couple of days ago.... "what are we really getting on 3 November?"
Sometimes ADHD is a blessing. Other times it's a curse. It all depends on your perspective.
I was going to write a few words - just share an idea - but part of my day job is getting the facts right (and doing the research and validating information) so what started as a quick idea has grown into a long, long story.
As I said, ADHD can be a blessing. I may have resorted to cutting my own hair yesterday because I keep forgetting to make an appointment with the barber, but I can go without food or sleep if something sparks my curiosity. And this has. And the good news is, I'm sharing all that with whoever wants to read it. The other good news is that fortunately, hair grows back.
So I suggest you either grab a snack and get comfortable, or skip to the end to read my conclusion. Because in Tumblr, as in life, my ability to talk nonstop for hours about random shite is unmatched.
Where did all this begin?
When did we first hear about Jungkook's debut solo album? I believe the original announcement came from the annual forecast/investment report documents, which I found out about via tw in May this year.
Tumblr media
Jungkook's album was officially forecast for release in the fourth quarter according to the HYBE and Hanwha Investment report.
We were all thrilled and excited! I certainly was.
JK's voice is the aural equivalent of an ice cream sundae - refreshingly cool and softly warm, and multi-layered with all the fancy toppings. He can do pop-sugar sprinkles, he can do fancy slivered almonds, he can do spicy peaches in brandy, lit on fire.
His voice flows into your ears, sweet and hot, just like him.
It was good news but not surprising. Because by the time that report came out we had already had albums (or news of albums) from Hobi, Namjoon, Jiminie and Yoongles. We had figured out they were all going release something. It would have been odd if Jungkook DIDN'T join his bandmates in this. ARMY knows he's a prolific and talented songwriter from way back. He's been writing and producing songs for BTS's albums from as far back as 2015. With instant ARMY favourites like Still With You, Decalcomania, and Your Eyes Tell to his name, Jungkook's album was an exciting prospect.
In June and July, rumours about the album surfaced:
On 4 June, Korean news website Sports Chosun, released an article about Jungkook's debut album - claiming the release date as 14 July. The article toted an English song on the album as 'a huge hit'.
BigHit responded, slapping the news website on the wrist and stating that THEY would make announcement when the release date was confirmed.
ARMYs and everyone else lit up the ether with chatter about the announcement, but where many news sites were simply regurgitating the Sports Chosun article, we were wondering where they got that information, and why they were talking about this English song being a hit as though that would be something new for a BTS song.
Um... do you know BTS?
Fast forward to 14th July... and the release of SEVEN (ft Letto).
A single, not an album, but it was HUGE.
Most ARMYs loved it but some were shocked... at the revelation that their darling Jungkookie is in fact a horny young man who enjoys pleasures of the flesh. And thank god he does, honestly, because the thought of his youth and beauty being wasted on abstinence is devastating to me. He works too hard not to enjoy a good fuck - hopefully seven days a week.
We all know the explicit version had a few people clutching their pearls and petticoats, but on the whole the reception was good. SEVEN (ft Letto!) sailed majestically to the top of the charts all across the globe and settled in alongside Like Crazy as a long term resident on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jungkook travelled abroad for the promos (with Jimin) and sang his song everywhere from New York to London.
But he also visited us, often.
He made time to chat for hours with ARMY, telling us how much we mean to him, and how he has decided to trust himself, and how he hopes WE would trust him too. He told us over and over that he has decided to do what he wants. That this is what he wants. That he hopes we love it.
It was clear he was having a lot of fun with SEVEN.
The MV, and the making of the MV, were a hit in themselves, and we got to see JK's acting chops (clearly SO MUCH better than Yoongi's he told us).
And then came more news about the album...
It wasn't long after that, only three days in fact, before another article about his upcoming album surfaced. This time it was on the (apparently very factually reliable) music news site, Hits Daily Double.
The article sat strangely askew for many ARMYs. For OT7 fans of BTS it felt more than a little off.
From the opening sentence...
Jung Kook's "Seven" f/Latto (HYBE/Geffen) set records in its first 24 hours on Spotify.
...to the brazenly competitive comparisons with BTS and the other members achievements, the tone of the article was smug and divisive and frankly not very Bangtan.
Tumblr media
For a short puff piece, it managed to put a good half of the fandom's nose out of joint. I have no doubt that was the intention, that it aimed to sow dissent and push JK ahead of his members in ARMY's - and the world's - eyes. We weren't mad at JK - far from it - we could see right through the writer's intent. And we knew who was behind it...
Enter stage left: The Villain, Scrotum Balls
"HYBE Chairman Bang Si-Hyuk's trust in HYBE America CEO Scooter Braun is continuing to pay off. Braun found the song and connected Jung Kook with the Grammy-winning Producer of the Year he reps, Andrew Watt."
Did SB write this bollocks himself?? What a twat, seriously.
But wait, there's more...
"Those involved with Jung Kook's forthcoming debut album, which will be an all-English effort, are very bullish on the project and see it as a pivotal moment in the BTS solo campaign. Jung Kook's embrace of sexuality and profanity is giving new life to BTS fans..."
This is where it all starts going a little pear shaped. I can almost see the smile melting off Jungkook's face as he read this article.
Not a word about the themes this album would explore, or the music itself, or even a word from the artist. Just SB crowing about the 'project' that those involved were so bullish about.
In other articles on this site from the same time, Jungkook is referred to as an alumnus of BTS, and the erstwhile bandmate of V. Both of these terms insinuate that he has left BTS, which is very misleading.
At that point, some of us were very worried. It was starting to look like Jungkook himself was the project - a little project for SB to use as a self promotion tool. The sacrificial lamb he was going to offer to the gods of commercial radio and the plastic world of pop stardom to redeem himself for the absolute fucking mess he made when he tied up his label's artists with red tape and held them hostage.
Did anyone watch the movie TAR?
Spoiler alert, but the main character Lydia's attempts to regain her influence after she destroyed her own empire, are not dissimilar to SB's. The only way she could rise from the ashes after figuratively burning her house to the ground, was to reinvent herself in a new environment. She started over, with her trademark ego-driven confidence not dented in the least, believing herself the ultimate maestro as she took on a new project to mould into her image of success.
The parallels are uncanny.
Moving on...
Suchwita with Jungkook was revealing, in that it revealed nothing...
Specifically the nothing that had happened with the mini album!
Jungkook said he hadn't started working on the album, he was still searching single #2. He said after the second single he would release a mini album in November.
Tumblr media
"Are the songs for the album ready?" Yoongi asked.
Tumblr media
"No" replied Jungkook, "I have to start working on them now."
Tumblr media
At the time Suchwita was filmed, Jungkook had yet to start working on the songs for the mini album he was due to release in November.
In a previous Weverse live he also said he hadn't started working yet. He had no songs. The extended break was so good that he would have been happy to keep resting, until SEVEN came along.
Confirmed in the AUDACY interview in NY:
In his interview with Audacy (recorded around 14 July in NY) Jungkook's message was consistent with what he said to Yoongi.
There were 'no specifics set yet' when asked about an upcoming album... certainly no mention of ALL ENGLISH SONGS.
When asked "How do you want to make your solo work special and unique to you?" Jungkook responded that he didn't want to chase anything. That he 'wants everything to become special naturally, because he does his best.' He says SEVEN wasn't released because he had specific plans, it just happened. He wants the next song to come along naturally too.
That's a very different message from the brash, aggressively confident stance taken in the Hits Daily Double article - I think we we can safely assume they were SB's words - and it's also not shining a light on SB as the hero of the moment the way the article tried to do.
Jungkook had either not been briefed on SB's vision for the album, or he wasn't on board with it. Either way, the album was not mentioned again until early October.
Let's return to Suchwita and to Tae's interview.
*this is focused on the conversation about JK's album, no disrespect to our smooth operator.
Tumblr media
"This album is the last solo album," says Yoongi.
When I watched this episode I first thought Yoongi was talking about the order that the Suchwita episodes were filmed, when he said Tae's album was the last. He clarified in the next sentence that he was talking about the release date.
Tumblr media
"You're the last one," says Yoongi.
&lt;<Wait... so what happened to JK's album?>>
"That's right. I feel so much pressure," continues Tae.
"Everyone was like, I don't want to be last," laughs Yoongi.
Tumblr media
What Tae says next is pivotal:
"But if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have released it. I would have said I'm sorry, but I can't."
Tumblr media
Oh really?
So THAT'S AN OPTION? He could say "No, I don't like it so I'm not releasing it."?!
They go on to talk about promotions for all the members and how they differed, as though everyone else has done all the promotions they have lined up, but all I can think about is...
Did Jungkook say NO to SB?
Maybe he hadn't agreed to anything when that Hits Daily Double article was published. Maybe SB shot his mouth off before JK had even listened to the songs he was proposing. Jungkook told us he's doing what he wants to do.
Maybe Jungkook didn't like the songs, or the direction the album was taking. Our Jungkook can be stubborn and he knows his worth. Maybe he said he didn't want to be SB's little project?
That would explain why we heard nothing else about his *All English*mini album. Between July and the announcement of the release date in early October, there wasn't even a whisper.
On 3 October, Hits Double Daily released a second article:
Tumblr media
The tone of this release couldn't be more different from the first article.
No mention of SB
No mention of ALL ENGLISH
Jungkook is suddenly back in the BigHit stable, whereas before he was being associated with Hybe/Geffen
The source is clearly stated as BH
The forceful language of the first article is notably absent. This piece is purely factual, short and to the point.
Tags for this article are: JungKook, BTS, GOLDEN, BIGHIT. Compared to the first article which was additionally tagged with HYBE, Geffen, Scooter Braun, Bang Si-Hyuk, Andrew Watt.
This sentence: Jung is known as the “golden maknae” (“golden youngest”) of BTS. Suddenly Jungkook is back in BTS (as opposed to an alumnus of BTS). His status as the maknae also firmly grounds him in his Korean roots, a fact which was hardly mentioned in other articles. (and they got his name wrong ffs...)
There's also the MAJOR fact that unlike SEVEN, Jungkook is performing the debut of this album in Korea, not in the USA. That also says to me that SB is not involved (or less involved).
Other evidence of Jungkook's autonomy in this, is his unexpected performance of Still With You at the GCL concert. You could tell he was nervous, he lost his performance presence a little - standing awkwardly with his hand on his hip - and I think it was because there was something more at stake with that performance. All my fingers and toes are crossed for it's inclusion on the album.
Where does that leave us with GOLDEN?
My conclusion is that there has been some level of disagreement between SB and Jungkook about the album. And that Jungkook has stood his creative ground (YES!) and put some distance between himself and SB.
I fervently hope this is true.
Remember that Yoongi said Jungkook is the most talented musician he's ever met.
Yoongi, who I would trust with my soul even if he had horns and called himself the prince of darkness.
well that picture's kinda hot!
...
...
...
(I lost my train of thought thinking about Yoongi with horns)
Yes, Yoongi said that.
Yoongi who works with dozens and dozens of musicians including 6 of the most successful artists in the world...oh, and PSY.
The suggestion in the first article - that Jungkook's debut album was being designed with strategic market-oriented goals in mind - was so disturbing, when we know what a brilliant artist he is.
Sure it would be advantageous if Jungkook could access the networks and opportunities that come with an association with SB.
But if having an introduction to SB's circle means he's handcuffed to the strategic vision of a person who sees music as a corporate commodity, and Jungkook as a project, I truly hope he said 'I'll pass thanks.'
And let's not forget the album went from being a mini album (2-6 songs) to ELEVEN songs. In my minds eye I see Jungkook saying 'you think I can't come up with a whole album in two months? Hold my beer.'
Jungkook doesn't need SB to be successful...
He is after all...
THE GOLDEN MAKNAE

Adding to their title "Princes of K-pop," the Korean media officially recognized SHINee as the irreplaceable "Edge of K-pop"!
SHINee Earns New Moniker Irreplaceable 'Edge of K-pop' — Here Are 3 Reasons
On May 23, two days before their 15th debut anniversary on the 25th, the Korean media announced SHINee's new moniker!
According to its official SNS as well as Korean media outlets including OSEN, Newsen, Xports News, Sports Chosun, etc., SHINee is the irreplaceable "Edge of K-pop."
Tumblr media
The article started by acknowledging SHINee as "idol of idols," thanks to their outstanding and unrivaled music. The outlet also highlighted SHINee's identity as TRENDLEADERS.
"SHINee is a contemporary band that creates new trends that best match the current era in many ways, including music, performance, and fashion."
Tumblr media
Since their debut, the group has been consistently praised not only by the public but by music critics as well for their "sophisticated and unique" charms.
In the past, they recorded the first "Rookie Grand Slam," winning all "Rookie of the Year" awards from five major music awards shows.
Tumblr media
Their hits remain iconic to date, such as "Ring Ding Dong," which is still a "banned" song among CSAT takers for its addictive tone; "Sherlock," which introduced an unconventional, experimental hybrid remix of two songs "Clue" and "Note"; as well as "View," a song used by Korean classes to explain synesthesia.
Secondly, media outlets implied that SHINee is SHINee because of their "SHINee-like" music. Although the group is constantly contemplating, changing and growing, they don't fail to deliver the solidness, completeness and uniqueness of a song — which is very SHINee-like.
They don't repeat concepts; rather, they expand concepts and stories.
Tumblr media
Last but not least, SHINee is one of the groups that get better compared to their past releases. You may think that a certain era is already their "best," but the group always succeeds to surpass their recent records.
In June, the team is expected to unveil their first full-length album in about two years, and it is expected to be a meaningful album to start another chapter of SHINee, which has become more colorful as you can meet SHINee's music and other different styles of songs.
"Whenever a new album is released, SHINee, who attracts high attention from global fans as well as the music industry, is expected to show a new and powerful chapter."
SHINee Prepares For Their 15th Debut Anniversary
Tumblr media
The "Princes of K-pop" SHINee will celebrate their 15th anniversary on May 25!
SHINee, who is considered one of K-pop's most complete idols by solidifying its differentiated position, will return as a complete group about two years after their seventh full-length repackage "Atlantis" in 2021 to mark the 15th anniversary of their debut.
Starting with the opening of a pop-up store on the 25th, a fan meeting will be held at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul from the 27th to the 28th, and the release of a new full-length album is also scheduled in June.

The Korean heartthrob is currently receiving huge praises for his brilliant acting as a third-rate lawyer turned genius conman in the new legal-thriller series. Here's what people are saying! 
Lee Jong Suk's K-drama 'Big Mouth' Makes Successful Debut

In June, he made a special appearance in the film "The Witch 2." The following month, Lee Jong Suk finally made his small screen return through "Big Mouth."

Tumblr media
The drama just premiered with two episodes down, but viewers are already giving praises to the actor's performance and the much-anticipated drama's storyline. 
Lee Jong Suk Receives Enthusiastic Response for Performance in 'Big Mouth' 
Based on Sports Chosun's report on August 1, Lee Jong Suk's impressive return gives viewers heightened anticipation on his performance. 
As the main protagonist, Lee Jong Suk was able to showcase his strong characterization in the role as Lawyer Park Chang Ho. 
In the first two episodes, his new case turned him into a genius con artist, and viewers sing high praises to the actor's ability to showcase various emotions perfectly as the character fights for survival inside the prison. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's what viewers are saying:
Lee Jong-suk's acting never fails, plus YoonA, it's a double combo, right!! These are the people who act, I'm nervous, it feels like riding a roller coaster, even though it's only been 2 eps 
This is another "best actor" acting worthy scene for Lee Jong Suk.. The details he put through when acting to make sure he delivers it like "while being strangled" - His voice, diction, the tremble and his facial expressions 
ChangHo's struggle is real, incredible performance from Lee Jong Suk 
Never in my wildest dream could I imagine that Jongsuk will be able to spit at someone's face. With his sweet face but he nailed it!! No one can deny the fact that he is a great actor with superb acting skills 
"Big Mouth" having Lee Jong Suk as the lead actor plays an important factor in the completeness of the drama.
Park Chang Ho is a lawyer with a 10% winning rate. In the first two episodes, he got entangled in a huge murder case that locked him in jail, and pinned him as the genius swindler "Big Mouse." 
The model-actor meticulously portrayed the emotions of Park Chang Ho, who encountered a big turning point in his life as he currently battles hierarchy in prison. 
Park Chang Ho's three-dimensional character, deft and edgy depending on the situation, proved Lee Jong Suk's excellent character digestibility.
'Big Mouth' Episode 2 Recap
Park Chang Ho establishes a plan on getting himself killed inside Gucheon Prison. He decides to divorce Miho (YoonA) and ending his life by instigating fights against the most dangerous inmates.
The NR Forum members and the director of Gucheon Prison, however, want to keep him alive to retrieve their money.
Tumblr media
Will Park Chang Ho be able to turn the situation upside down? Let's all find out in the next "Big Mouth" episodes!

[FULL TRANS] 240321 ‘Blue Dragon Goddess’ Lim YoonA, “Sports Chosun = photo album, these days I am getting to know myself” (Sports Chosun’s anniversary interview)
Tumblr media
SNSD, Nation’s center, Actress. A word that comes to mind when you think of Lim YoonA (34) has been added to this as well. It’s ‘Blue Dragon Goddess’. Since announcing its first start in 2022, the Blue Dragon Series Awards has established itself as a representative series-entertainment awards ceremony in Korea, in which Lim YoonA, who has achieved an unrivaled presence, is steadily growing in the top position in Korea.
This year marks the 34th anniversary of Sports Chosun, which took its first step on Mar. 21, 1990. Lim YoonA, who debuted as a member of SNSD in 2007, now active as a singer and actress, has been with Blue Dragon and Sports Chosun for a long time to present the best appearance to her fans. For the past three years, she has been focusing on her work and SNSD’s activities to the extent that she has never taken a moment off. She even recently finished her solo fan meeting tour in eight Asian cities, which is unusual for an actress. People around her said, “Take a break,” but the more such situation happened, she is even more fired up for her next work and activities. This was also the reason why she has been consistently able to exist in the top class until now.
Lim YoonA, who has been steadily working from ‘Exit’ to ‘Miracle’, ‘Confidential Assignment 2: International’, ‘The Devil Has Moved In’, ‘Big Mouth’ and ‘King the Land’, is now having time to get to know herself more. This period of change and deep thoughts is also a long period for fans. Lim YoonA is still faithfully spending this time. Lim YoonA, who met Sports Chosun to commemorate its foundation, confessed, “I think I've been naturally thinking about 'what’s next', even though the company didn't make me do it. It was just my ambition. I don't think I took it for granted that I could take a break. Rather than losing my ambition, I think I'm trying to distribute it well instead. It's time to look back on myself and study about myself.”
Lim YoonA is a star who has shown bright and positive sides to the public. However, she did not lean towards one side or the other. She is an actress with a wide spectrum, with no similarities whatsoever, from her growth in ‘Hush’ to her independent female image in ‘King the Land’, and various appearances shown in ‘Exit’ and ‘Confidential Assignment’. Although all of her characters have something in common, 'brightness', Lim YoonA's spectrum of trying to express the differences even within them is her strength as an actress. Recently, she is even listening to the feedback from her fans, who say, "I want to see YoonA, who has everything except personality.” Lim YoonA said, "I felt like I am getting to know myself once again. Recently, while meeting fans, I listen to their concerns and answered them, and the answer I give is often, ‘Let's love ourselves.’ We can only do other things if we start from that so these days, I feel like I need to look at my inner self too. When I have conversations like this with my peers, I realize I'm not the only one who feels this way, and I feel like I'm growing up rather than feeling impatient,” she said. This is her healthy growth as an actress.
The Blue Dragon Series Awards, which she attended during this period, also had great meaning to Lim YoonA. She has now firmly established herself as an irreplaceable MC. Lim YoonA said, “As an actress, I have a dream that one day I will be able to enjoy the joy of winning an award from Blue Dragon. That's why the energy that Blue Dragon gives me was so great. But when I heard that Blue Dragon was creating a series award, I was very curious. When the MC offer came, I thought, 'I have to do it.' I had a strong desire to do as well as the offer was given, and I think I was very nervous during the first series awards ceremony. I thought, 'If I get a chance next time, I want to do it with more ease and do an even better job.' And they gave me another chance the next year too,” she said with a smile.
Just as there is Kim Hye Soo, who bid a beautiful farewell to the Blue Dragon Film Awards on her 30th anniversary as the MC, there is Lim YoonA at the Blue Dragon Series Awards. Lim YoonA said, "I think it would be good if I could walk down that path too. It would be nice if we could continue to be together like Hye Soo for the Film Awards. It was more meaningful to be able to be together right from the beginning. The meaning has been the same from the time I looked at Blue Dragon until now, but now there are more people who can say hello at Blue Dragon., but now there are a lot of people I can say hello to at Blue Dragon. I'm so thankful when the reporters there ask me, ‘Is Blue Dragon goddess, YoonA here?’ It gives me an overwhelming feeling that they think of me like family.”
Lim YoonA not only attended the 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards last year as an award presenter, but she also waited for Kim Hye Soo until late at the end of the awards ceremony to remember Kim Hye Soo's last day as the MC. Lim YoonA said, “I looked at Hye Soo sunbaenim and thought she was cool, so I wanted to say hello. When I said, 'You're so cool. Thank you for your hard work,' she smiled at me and told me a lot of stories. I think there is an 'aura' created by Hye Soo sunbaenim. I thought she is so cool that she was able to cope with any situation beyond the script. I also learned a lot from there. So, after taking on the role of MC, my perspective on this work has also changed. In the past, I used to watch interesting projects, but now, I watched them thinking about what kind of works I would get to meet at the awards ceremony. The more I know, the more I can enjoy the situation,” she assured.
It's the 3rd anniversary with Blue Dragon Series Awards, and this year is also YoonA’s 17th anniversary since debut. Lim YoonA said, “I started my trainee life when I was 13, so it's already been 22 years. When I was interviewed for the 10th anniversary of SNSD's debut, I said, ‘Wow, it's been 10 years,’ and even so, more than 7 years have already passed. 'Gee' is already more than 10 years ago, and kids now called it ‘my mom's pants’ when they saw the colorful skinny jeans that were popular at the time. We are 2nd generation idols, and we are very thankful and proud that we can work together in a situation where 5th generation idols are currently active.”
Sports Chosun has been with us for this long period of activity. As this year marks the 34th anniversary, it is of no exaggeration to say that it has been with Lim YoonA throughout her activities. Lim YoonA said, “‘Sports Chosun’ is like a photo album to me. It has always been with me, and I think it captured my brightest moments. Photos are taken at important moments and placed in the album. We have been together through that process, and we will continue to do so in the future. “It seems like we are filling the remaining spaces together. I feel that way about Sports Chosun and Blue Dragon,” she said, smiling brightly.
