The news of Jungkook and Puth’s forthcoming team-up comes hot on the heels of the latter previously hinting at a collaboration between himself and the K-pop boyband. “I heard that too, and everybody in my camp doesn’t know the day it comes out,” said the singer. “We legitimately have no idea of the day it comes out. We do, but like we just figured it out.”

The confirmation of his and Jungkook’s collaboration also follows an announcement made by BTS earlier this week that the group will be going on an extended break in order to “take time to explore some solo projects” during a live broadcast celebrating their ninth anniversary.

Previously, Jungkook also told Weverse Magazine in a recent interview that he has written a number of songs as potential solo releases, however revealed that many of them did not pan out the way he hoped.

“After making the effort to write them, I should have realised I should just edit them as much as I can to release them,” Jungkook explained. “But when I heard them again after a while, they didn’t sound good, so I just deleted them all.” Despite this, the vocalist also revealed that he has been “writing songs lately”.
