Fact check: Did BTS' Jungkook announce a solo world tour with 20 countries including India on list? Truth behind viral claim
All seven members of BTS are finally back from the military, and fans have been thrilled to see updates from nearly everyone except Jungkook. Known for his spontaneous livestreams and candid fan interactions (often sharing more than he probably should, not that anyone's complaining), Jungkook's recent silence has sparked a wave of speculation.
While some unverified reports suggest he's currently filming Season 2 of his variety show Are You Sure? with Jimin in Switzerland, a new viral claim making the rounds online says Jungkook has announced a solo world tour—and that India is reportedly on the list. But what's truth? Let's break down.
Jungkook's 'solo world tour list' goes viral
A few videos on Instagram have sent Indian BTS fans into a frenzy, thanks to a viral list that hints at a potential Jungkook solo world tour with India included. The rumoured tour list features 20 countries: South Korea, Japan, Australia, United States, China, Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Spain, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, and Hong Kong. While nothing has been confirmed, the list has quickly gained traction online, especially among Indian ARMYs, who are hopeful this could mark the first-ever visit by BTS or any of its members to India.

Fans have been demanding a Jungkook solo world tour
Ever since Jungkook was discharged from the military, fans, especially his solo stans, have been eagerly calling for him to go on a world tour, something he's previously expressed interest in. The idea of seeing him perform his solo hits live has only added to the anticipation. So far, Jungkook has released just one solo album, GOLDEN, which was a massive success. Tracks like Seven, Standing Next to You, and 3D became instant chartbusters, further proving his global star power. However, Jungkook has also been vocal about wanting to expand his discography before embarking on such a major journey. For him, a tour isn't just about performing.

Fact check: So did Jungkook really announce his solo world tour?
Absolutely not! While the rumoured tour list has taken over fan pages, there's no official source backing it. Neither Jungkook nor BTS' agency, BigHit Music, has announced any solo world tour plans. The singer hasn't posted anything on Weverse about it either. Jungkook, who deleted his personal Instagram last year, now uses his dog Bam's account, "Bam's Dad", and that account has been completely silent since his military discharge. Even BTS' official Twitter account hasn't hinted at anything related to a tour.

While a Jungkook solo tour would definitely be a dream come true for millions of fans, it's simply not happening—at least not yet. Everything circulating on social media right now is just an unverified viral claim with no official confirmation.

Who are we? And I remember asking my mom, what am I? And she told me, you are Indian. And I will never forget that.' Sara said at the Times Now Summit 2025 When asked about her mom Amrita Singh's Sikh background, and her dad Saif Ali Khan's Muslim religion, the actress said that India is a secular country.

Singer Jasbir Jassi faces legal heat over support for Pakistani actress
Popular Punjabi singer Jasbir Jassi has found himself at the center of controversy after publicly defending actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's decision to cast Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3. His remarks have now led to a formal complaint being lodged against him at the Parliament Street police station in Delhi. According to the complaint, Jassi's support for involving a Pakistani artist in the film, especially in the immediate aftermath of the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack, is being seen as 'anti-national' and insensitive to the sacrifices of Indian soldiers. The complaint also claims that Jassi's statements — which are now widely circulating on social media — have stirred public outrage and hurt national sentiment. In a recent interview, Jassi openly addressed the backlash surrounding Sardaar Ji 3, stating: 'I see protests against Diljit's film because it stars a Pakistani actress. I understand the love for our country — I share that too. But what about the double standards? If you want to ban Pakistani artists, fine — but then why is 80% of our music industry filled with songs stolen from there, or sung by artists from that country? Why selectively target just one film?' He went on to criticize the inconsistency in such protests, adding: 'You can't invite someone into your home, enjoy what they bring, and then call them the enemy. If the sentiment is to ban, then let's remove everything — songs, content, all of it — from YouTube, Spotify, and every digital platform. But singling out one artist or film isn't the solution.' Jassi's comments have sparked intense debate online, with many supporting his call for consistency, while others deem his timing and tone inappropriate given the current national climate. With legal proceedings now in motion, the controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3 continues to deepen, underscoring the recurring tensions between cross-border cultural collaboration and national sentiment in India's entertainment industry.
