BTS has returned with the second OT7 broadcast of this month, sending official New Year greetings to ARMYs in a more “polished” setting compared to the impromptu broadcast in the dance studio just a week earlier. This time, the broadcast was pre-scheduled, the space was decorated with a full Christmas vibe, and the members were made up and dressed in stylish outfits as they sat down to chat with their fans. At the same time, BTS’s Weverse also reached 30 million followers, reflecting a strong growth in the fandom.
During this year-end broadcast, which lasted around an hour, BTS talked with fans about stories that intertwined the past, present, and future. From reminiscing about their days on V Live, sharing funny memories from their trainee days—especially the playful moments between the close friends V and Jimin—to promising an explosive 2026, hinting at a comeback possibly in January or February, and teasing fans with snippets of melo∂ιєs from a new song while keeping the title a secret, the members offered fans a variety of emotions.
Amid the lively and constantly shifting conversation topics, fans noticed a more reflective moment from Jungkook as he shared a personal regret in his music career. He expressed, “Of course, solo concert has to happen. But I’m not sure when I’ll be able to. I wanted to do it so badly. But the timing… there just wasn’t anything that worked out.” In those words, ARMYs could clearly feel Jungkook’s burning desire—a performer who loves the stage dearly but has not yet had the chance to do so since completing his military service.
Upon hearing the youngest member’s confession, the other members comforted him in a cheerful and playful way so that he wouldn’t dwell on his regret for too long. j-hope teased, “JK, should we be the guest?” which excited Jungkook, who exclaimed, “You have to!” while pointing at Jin. Jin, slightly embarrαѕѕed, asked, “Do I have to come (as a guest) too?” but Jungkook firmly replied, “Hyung should come and sing.” Furthermore, j-hope didn’t let Jungkook’s idea fade and expanded on it with a plan: “I should do an SNTY cover,” and Jungkook fully supported the idea, adding, “I’d love it. I’ll cover Killin’ it girl.” Golden Maknae also suggested Jin to come and perform “Super Tuna” too.
Fans understand Jungkook’s thoughts very well because they know that, more than anyone else, he has a pαѕѕionate love for performing on stage and wants to show his best to his fans. Especially considering that some BTS members have held solo tours in multiple countries to meet ARMYs worldwide, fans strongly believe that Jungkook really wants to do the same and showcase his solo album in front of fans.
Moreover, seeing how much effort he put into performing at SUGA, j-hope, and even Jin’s concerts, anyone can understand how meaningful the stage is to him. That is why he expressed that not being able to hold a solo tour remains a regret in his solo career journey!
Apart from Jungkook, three other members also had to put their solo tours on hold, and ARMYs know that this decision was made for the sake of BTS as a group and the fandom. In 2026, all seven members are prioritizing group activities. Saying there is no regret would be untrue because even fans hope to see the remaining four members eventually have their own solo stages to complete their solo journeys.
However, as Jungkook said, since the timing isn’t right yet, a solo tour is difficult to happen—but that doesn’t mean it will never happen. Fans believe that in the future, all members, including Jungkook, will have the opportunity to perform their own solo stages while balancing group schedules and personal plans.
Fans have expressed their support for Jungkook and their readiness to patiently wait for the members’ individual projects in the future:
- It will be so good, i just know. I hope he gets to do it one day
- Its ok JK. We will wait for u. Still waiting for the next stage of Jamais Vu of 3J
- Yes, dear, your solo concert later… everything will be luxurious and grand for Jungkook. All the best will be prepared for the greatest solo concert ever. Everything will happen for Jungkook
- It's great to hear Jungkook's enthusiasm for a solo concert! We believe in you and can't wait to see you shine on your own stage when the time is right! SupportJungkook
- I really really wish from the bottom of my heart that everything jungkook wish for come true and the great performer and successful global popstar he is of course very soon his solo world tour gonna happen and he's gonna rock the stage
- I will be here waiting for 4 members completing their solo concerts in the future. BTS fιgнтing!
- Aww, the way the members cheered him up is so heartwarming. Jungkook deserves the grandest solo concert ever
- I can feel his pαѕѕion for the stage. Can’t wait for him to finally do his solo tour
- This moment really shows how much BTS supports each other. I’m crying just thinking about 4 members postponed their solo tours to gather under BTS 7 in 2026
- Seeing Jungkook’s excitement and the members hyping him up is literally the cutest thing. I can’t wait for the day he gets his solo concert and the others too
