The anticipation is palpable among the BTS ARMY and music enthusiasts alike as Jungkook, the youngest member of global sensation BTS, gears up to release his new single, Never Let Go, just in time for the Korean boy band’s 11th anniversary. The announcement, made via BTS’s X account, has sparked excitement and speculation about what Golden Maknae has in store for fans.
Never Let Go is slated for release on June 13, a date of profound significance for BTS and their dedicated fanbase. It marks exactly eleven years since the group’s debut, a journey that has seen them rise to international superstars, breaking records and barriers along the way.
The anniversary, often dubbed ‘BTS Festa’, is traditionally marked by a series of special releases, performances, and events. The celebrations will have a bittersweet note this year as the band are on a break. As per South Korea’s mandate that all ‘able-bodied men’ from ages 18 to 35 to serve in the military for a minimum of 18 months, Jin and J-Hope are currently serving in the army, while RM, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook are still to enlist. All the Bangtang Boys will not be performing together anytime before 2025.
Never Let Go promises to be a highlight of this year’s events, adding a personal touch from Jungkook to the collective celebration. The singer’s solo ventures have always been met with enthusiasm and acclaim. While we wait for his newest single, here are some solo tracks worth a listen:
