BTS singer Jung Kook only officially launched his solo career a few months ago, but he’s not wasting any time when it comes to doing all the things a musician on their own needs to accomplish.
The global superstar recently announced his first full concert on his own, which he is calling Golden Live On Stage. The show is scheduled to take place at Seoul’s Jangchung Arena on November 20.
Golden Live On Stage is, for now, just a one-off show, and it comes hot off the heels of the release of his forthcoming debut solo album, Golden. That set is slated to drop on November 3.
The announcement was made on the social media platform Weverse, where fans who hold ARMY membership—essentially die-hard followers of BTS and the band’s members in their solo pursuits—will also be able to buy tickets to the South Korean show. Those who can’t get passes, or who might not be based in the Asian nation, will reportedly be able to watch a livestream of the concert.
While Golden Live On Stage will be Jung Kook’s first solo concert, it won’t be the first time he’s performed on stage for a massive crowd. As a member of BTS, he has already toured the world and played to sold out stadiums filled with tens of thousands of screaming fans. He also recently took part in the Global Citizen music festival in New York City, where he also played to thousands of attendees and even more people watching online.
Jung Kook’s album Golden isn’t coming for another few weeks, but he has been promoting it with several singles. He topped the Hot 100 this summer with “Seven,” which featured rapper Latto and which was marketed as his first proper release on his own—even though he’d already appeared on the chart before without his BTS friends. A little more than a week ago, he shared the second cut from the project, a collaboration with Jack Harlow titled “3D.”
