However, an alleged hint at Jungkook’s potential solo activities has sparked mixed reactions from fans.

On July 3, fans noticed that Soundcat In-Ears shared a post revealing new custom in-ears for Jungkook. The in-ears featured a golden mirror plate, a potential reference to his first solo album, Golden.

While new in-ears may not seem like a hint at anything, the other members of BTS who went on tours also had their designs shared in advance of their tours. For example, Jin’s new design was shared on April 9, with the announcement for his tour coming days later on April 17.

…some have expressed frustration over reactions to the possibility of a tour.

Many fans have commented about adverse reactions, asking for Jungkook’s solo activities to receive the same positive responses that other members did.

With BTS preparing for a full-group comeback next spring, it’s been encouraging to see members reconnect with fans through both solo and group content. Jin and J-Hope were warmly welcomed back with solo projects, fan meetings, and even tours shortly after their discharge and…

Wanting a solo tour for #Jungkook doesn’t mean wanting to separate him from BTS.
