Jungkook's solo stans demand him to leave BTS and go solo; ARMY speaks out after protest truck stationed outside HYBE
With Jin gearing up for a solo world tour following J-Hope's and the other members' staying active through livestreams and social media updates, Jungkook and Suga have remained relatively quiet. This silence hasn't gone down well with some of Jungkook's solo fans, who have been pressuring him to launch his own world tour since his military discharge. Even at his release on June 12, some fans showed up with banners reading 'JK Solo World Tour.'
While a solo tour is definitely on Jungkook's radar, the pressure from fans has taken a concerning turn. Protest trucks were recently stationed outside HYBE's building, demanding the agency 'free Jungkook,' sparking backlash from the wider BTS fandom. Many ARMYs have called out this behaviour, arguing that genuine support means respecting Jungkook's pace, not pushing him into the spotlight on someone else's timeline.
Jungkook's solo stans send protest trucks at HYBE
Jungkook released his solo album Golden in November 2023, just a month before beginning his mandatory military service. During the album's promotions, the BTS vocalist openly shared his desire to go on a solo world tour someday but also emphasised that he wanted to expand his discography before taking that step. Despite this, some of his solo stans have been relentlessly pressuring him to begin a world tour immediately. What's more concerning is that a portion of these fans have gone so far as to suggest that Jungkook should leave BTS altogether and pursue a full-time solo career.
On July 6, protest trucks bearing messages like 'Let's go higher,' 'Go solo,' 'Go solo tour,' and 'Free Jungkook' were stationed outside the HYBE building, demanding action from the agency. Photos of the same have now gone viral, sparking disgust among the group's fandom.

ARMYs slam Jungkook's solo stans
Many ARMYs have spoken out against the protest, calling it invasive and disrespectful to Jungkook's personal and artistic choices. Fans argue that true support means giving him space, not forcing demands masked as encouragement.
One ARMY wrote, "Oh God! This is so embarrassing! "Go solo," "Free Jungkook"?! Please STOP this nonsense! He will never leave the group. He loves & cherishes the group career as much as or even more than his solo career. He himself has said this in his life. So please learn to respect his choices!"
"Y'all can't really respect him?? He'll do whatever he wants in his life and whenever he wants! Pathetic fr," another wrote.
Is Jungkook pursuing solo activities?
Jungkook has not revealed any official plans for his solo activities yet, but it's likely he will prioritise BTS' highly anticipated spring 2026 comeback and the group's expected world tour before pursuing solo endeavours.
