While promoting his solo debut album, “GOLDEN,” the “Standing Next to You” hitmaker made his highly anticipated guest appearance on his bandmate Suga’s variety show, Suchwita. At the time, he announced that he was already filming a documentary that follows the musical process from his pre-release single “Seven” to making his full-length album.
If the upcoming project aligns with his previous revelation, then “Jung Kook: I Am Still” would visually memorialise the ambitious production process of his debut studio album, which came out in November 2023, capturing his “golden moments” as a solo artist.
Prior to his official solo debut, the beloved BTS member was avidly renowned for his self-directed and produced travel video series called “Golden Closet Films” (GCF). Fans’ speculation also bordered around the possible revival of the brand with this new project. The mystery will be lifted soon, as more details are awaited.
The “Seven” crooner recently also landed a joint travel show gig with Jimin. Their healing reality show “Are You Sure?” is set to premiere on Disney Plus on August 8, 2024.
