The official handle of BTS announced on social media stating "Proud to announce that Jung Kook is part of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Soundtrack & will perform at the World Cup opening ceremony. Stay tuned!" It's being seen that most of BTS' bandmembers are now busy pursuing solo projects, as the reason being cited is that the band is on a hiatus after the announcement of Jin's military enlistment. While RM recently announced his debut solo album âIndigo', J-Hope's solo album was titled âJack in the Box' and Jin's solo track with Coldplay was titled âThe Astronaut'. Only a few months back, Jungkook was seen collaborating with Charlie Puth on his track âLeft and Right'.
