Award-winning singers Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes contributed to BTS member Jungkook’s debut solo album Golden.
Jungkook recently revealed the tracklist for Golden, which lists Sheeran as the songwriter for Yes Or No and Mendes as the songwriter for Hate You. DJ Snake and Major Lazer will also be featured on “Please Don’t Change” and “Closer To You.” respectively.
Fans have already heard Jungkook’s early songs Seven featuring Latto and 3D featuring Jack Harlow. Other tracks include Somebody, Shot Glass Of Tears and Too Sad To Dance.
The 26-year-old star had a huge hand in producing the record. Big Hit Music stated, “Because the new album Golden is based on Jungkook’s ‘golden moment,’ Jungkook put his heart and soul into the production, including personally selecting all the songs that will be included on the new album.”
Meanwhile, Jungkook announced a Golden Live On Stage event to be held on November 20 at Jangchung Arena in Seoul to promote the album, and fans will be able to follow him around the world through a live broadcast.
Although Jungkook has performed solo before, such as at the Global Citizen festival in New York, Golden Live On Stage will be his first full solo performance.
The South Korean star recently spoke about being as grateful to his haters as he is to his fans, claiming that the time and energy they put into trolling him means they’re paying attention to his art.
While recently attending a 3D listening party, he said, “There are a lot of people who don’t like me. This means they are wasting their time on me. I would consider this a kind of interest. Right? These are different fans.
“If they had absolutely no interest in me, they wouldn’t. So, I thank them for their time. I don’t like them though. I don’t have to like them, do I? Of course I love those who love me. I wouldn’t like people who talk bad about me. I work for those who support me.”
