Reports of BTS member Jungkook embarking on his first solo world tour, titled ‘GOLDEN’, have set the global fanbase into a frenzy. Fans worldwide are closely following every small detail as potential dates and venues surface, hinting at a major career milestone for the youngest member of the popular group. These rumors come as Jungkook’s military discharge approaches, adding to the anticipation for his return to the music scene.
The speculation surrounding Jungkook’s solo tour began gaining significant traction with a recent social media post from Ticketmaster. The ticketing giant shared a picture of the artist with the caption “COMING SOON,” a clear hint that something big is on the horizon. This move by Ticketmaster immediately caught the attention of fans, who are now connecting it to the possibility of a tour announcement. This situation draws parallels to a similar instance before J-Hope’s solo tour was officially announced, where his profile appeared on a global ticketing platform ahead of time.
Dedicated fans, known as ARMY, have also been actively sharing information regarding the potential timeline for the ‘GOLDEN’ tour. According to their observations and alleged leaks, the tour is expected to begin in October 2025 and extend through January 2026. This timeframe has further fueled excitement, as it suggests a busy schedule for Jungkook following his military service. The strong online discussion about these potential dates reflects the high level of eagerness among his supporters to see him perform live.
Adding more weight to the tour rumors, Mexican concert organizers DCECOFICIAL and Angel Rey have reportedly mentioned a significant announcement coming from Jungkook. These organizers have hinted that the artist is planning something major before BTS’ full group tour, which is expected to happen in 2026. The involvement of such prominent organizers has led many to believe that a solo tour is indeed in the works. Their statements have contributed to the growing buzz among fans in Latin America.
Further reports, particularly from an insider source on Weibo, suggest that Jakarta, Indonesia, has been confirmed as a venue for the ‘GOLDEN’ tour. This report indicates that a stadium in Jakarta has already been booked for a November 2025 concert. This information, if accurate, would mark a significant step in organizing a global tour, bringing Jungkook’s solo music to a wide international audience. Fans in Southeast Asia are particularly excited about this possibility.
Another location that has been repeatedly mentioned in the ongoing rumors is Mexico’s Estadio GNP Seguro. While there has been no official statement from Jungkook’s agency, Big Hit Music, regarding these specific venues or tour dates, the consistent appearance of these locations in various reports has kept fans hopeful. The lack of official confirmation means fans are staying vigilant, checking Ticketmaster and other official channels for any verified updates.
The impact of these tour rumors is evident in the online world. Following the emergence of the ‘GOLDEN’ tour speculation, the phrase “JUNGKOOK SOLO WORLD TOUR” quickly became a top trend on social media platform X. This trend reached a peak of 100% on Google Worldwide, showing a remarkable 600% increase in searches related to Jungkook’s potential solo tour. This widespread online activity highlights the immense global interest and anticipation surrounding his post-military plans.
Jungkook’s solo album, ‘GOLDEN’, has already achieved remarkable success, further amplifying fan desire for a tour. The album remains the fastest and only Asian album to reach 3 billion streams on Spotify. In fact, ‘GOLDEN’ has exceeded 5.5 billion plays on Spotify, becoming the first album from an Asian solo singer to reach this milestone in just 540 days, making it the shortest time for a studio album from an Asian artist. The album also topped the list of most-streamed albums on Spotify from an Asian male artist in the current year.
Among the 11 tracks on ‘GOLDEN’, the pre-release song “Seven (feat. Latto)” has been a massive contributor to these streaming numbers, generating over 2.3 billion streams, another first for an Asian artist. The focus track, “Standing Next to You,” has also performed exceptionally well, accumulating more than 1.1 billion streams. Overall, Jungkook has amassed over 8.7 billion streams on the music platform on his own, showcasing his global impact as a solo artist.
The strong performance of his solo music suggests a large and eager audience for a potential tour. While the current focus for BTS members is completing their military duties, with most expected to be discharged by June 2025, discussions about group activities in 2026 are also ongoing. The potential for a solo tour before the full group reunion adds another layer of excitement for fans who are patiently waiting for all members to return.
