An Article Mentioned That HYBE Should Boost Jungkook's Solo Activities After BTS Members Enlist

In response to the story of BTS's military enlistment and the upcoming plans of BTS and HYBE in this regard, an article on the Korean website expressed their views on Jungkook's solo activities. This reporter gave his perspective when considering Jungkook's influence and reputation on the Hallyu wave.

Reporter Lee Dong Hoon from the website MOVIST mentioned that HYBE needs to strengthen Jungkook's solo activities to continue the influence of the Korean wave. The article mentions Jungkook's vocal ability, achievements, and compositions. Jungkook is only 24 years old but has already broken various records with his solo songs, and this shows the potential his solo activities can have shortly.

Recently, Jungkook's solo song "Stay Alive" ranked at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US. This is also the first and only OST sung by a Korean soloist to have sold 100,000 units within 80 days of its release. Another Jungkook solo song called 'My Time' debuted at number 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and his song 'Euphoria' debuted at number 5 on the Billboard Bubbling Under chart in 2018.

This shows how much potential Jungkook has in his activities. And of course, it is also a turning point where HYBE can choose BTS if the members enlist in the army shortly.

Besides, the author also mentioned phrases like "Vocal Talent", "Heavily Talent", "Main Vocalist",... to refer to Jungkook. In addition, this journalist also cited: "In particular, according to the '2021 Big Data Hallyu Market Research Report' Jungkook has  ranked the HIGHEST as an individual male idol on YouTube, and also in the fandom category.  He ranked first and proved his global influence...

...Forbes once said, "It is rare for a Korean musician to rank 13th on Billboard's global 200 chart, which ranks the 200 most consumed songs in the world, and Jungkook made KPOP history by achieving the best record among male solo artists". Above all, Jungkook has performed various artists' songs regardless of genre through cover songs, and has met the needs of MZ generations around the world with solid basics, trendy vocals, and performance skills."

He also added that: "Other members are also raising expectations for solo activities. BTS members, who have fully demonstrated their abilities as individuals, raise expectations that not only will they have high music scores as a solo artist, but also that they will be able to tour as individuals. While reducing the dependence on BTS groups, shouldn't HYBE turn its attention to individual solo activities and raise the glory of K-pop, which has just opened its day, to a sustainable position?"

Although it would have been better when BTS had 7 members on stage. But in an option to reduce BTS's military losses, the solo activities of the members especially Jungkook are not a bad choice! What do you think about this issue?
