In today’s episode of “K-pop fans doing the most,” a truck demanding “Jungkook should go solo” was spotted outside HYBE’s building, and the internet promptly exploded. Because nothing says “support” like sending a giant LED truck to your idol’s company with a passive-aggressive breakup letter playing in 4K.
Here’s what happened: Some so-called “fans” rented a protest truck that flashed messages urging HYBE to let Jungkook go solo, claiming he deserves better promotions, freedom, and independence outside BTS. Their reasoning? They believe Jungkook has outgrown the group, ignoring the small detail that Jungkook himself has repeatedly said he loves being in BTS and that the group is literally planning a full comeback together.
Meanwhile, real ARMYs took one look at the truck and collectively sighed, reminding everyone that Jungkook’s solo activities are thriving while he remains a proud BTS member. Let’s not forget: He’s broken global streaming records with “Seven,” topped Billboard charts, performed solo stages that shook stadiums, and became Spotify’s most-streamed K-pop soloist—all while wearing BTS on his sleeve.
And while we’re here, let’s clarify: Jungkook can and is pursuing a successful solo career while staying in BTS, because shocker—BTS is not a prison; it’s a family. The man himself has said he wants to continue walking with BTS “until the end,” and nothing about his career choices so far indicates otherwise.
Fans online were quick to drag the stunt for being tone-deaf, with many pointing out that these protest trucks often do more harm than good, adding unnecessary pressure to artists who have made their priorities crystal clear. The irony is that the truck’s message tried to “free” Jungkook, while ignoring his actual freedom to choose what he wants—which includes making music with his six brothers.
Others found humor in the situation, joking that if people spent half the truck rental budget streaming Jungkook’s music instead, we’d have another Spotify record down by now.
In the end, the truck came, flashed its messages, and ARMY collectively rolled their eyes before going back to streaming “Seven” and waiting for BTS’s upcoming comeback.
So here’s a reminder: Jungkook is not leaving BTS, he’s thriving solo and in the group, and nothing a flashing truck says will change that.
Let Jungkook live, let BTS live, and let’s focus on what actually matters: the music, the connection, and the joy they bring to millions around the world.
Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that you can’t pressure Jungkook into a decision he’s already made himself: BTS forever, solo success forever, ARMY forever.
