The much-awaited solo debut of BTS Jungkook was released a couple of days ago and became one of the biggest hits of all time. After watching the chart-bursting single Seven (feat Latto), where the BTS maknae presented his charms without any censoring, his fans are excited about his future projects. To add to the ongoing excitement, rumors have begun that Jungkook will release a full-fledged English album.
The news of an album isn’t new, as the South Korean singer himself confirmed he was working on it during a Weverse live after the reveal of the first promo of his solo debut single. Jungkook had confirmed to ARMYs that his solo album is in progress and will soon follow the single’s release. Fans’ initial expectation from the album was in line with his past releases, such as Still With You and To You.
However, after the release of Seven (feat Latto), rumors that Jungkook’s solo debut album would be entirely in English instead of Korean, as expected before, began circulating online. There isn’t any official confirmation about the rumors at the moment, but the news doesn’t seem too fantastic to be unbelievable.
Is BTS Jungkook’s upcoming album entirely in English?
