Jung Kook is gearing up for the release of new music.

On Sunday (June 2), the BTS star announced that he will be dropping a new single titled “Never Let Go.” The track is set for release at 1 p.m. KST on June 7 through Weverse and BTS’ official social media channels.

‘Never Let Go’ is a track dedicated to [BTS] fans, ARMY, conveying a sincere message to never let go of each other,” HYBE wrote in a press release about the forthcoming song.

“Never Let Go” is Jung Kook’s first solo music since the release of his 2023 debut album, Golden, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

On Saturday (June 1), BTS announced plans for its 2024 FESTA celebration. This year’s event, to be held June 13 at Seoul Sports Complex in South Korea, will mark the superstar K-pop group’s 11th anniversary.

The 2024 FESTA will feature an official appearance by BTS’ Jin following the completion of his military mandatory obligation. In addition to Jin, the event will offer a variety of activities, including a sketch diary to commemorate BTS’ 11th anniversary.

Jung Kook and his fellow BTS members Jin, RM, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin and V are currently serving in the South Korean military, which mandates an 18-month military enlistment for all able-bodied men by the time they turn 28. A few of the members have pursued various solo projects amid their service, and the full group is planning to reconvene for band activities in 2025.
