Hello. This is Jungkook. My first solo full-length album Golden is out in the world. Honestly, I don’t think I had a clear plan for it, but as my first single “Seven” got released, everything came to be realized.

As I’m someone who is always moving, I don’t think I thought about what was better, or what was worse, but as I began my solo promotions, I think that everything came into picture. (Even so, I’m still a bundle of cluelessness.) I can’t say that the album you are looking at now is perfect, but I think that it is the best result of me trusting myself.

Even if there are imperfect parts, rather than thinking “I could’ve done better,” I just think that this is the best that I can do right now. This is how I will grow more. I’ll show you an even better side of myself in the future.

Jungkook continued to thank every single person involved in his album. He expressed his feelings clearly, articulating his future promises.

I hope that you think of this album as the start of Jungkook as a soloist. As I prepared for this album, I received a lot of help. Thank you to those who spent their time and effort on me. I truly am thankful as a person, rather than just an artist.

I’m still lacking so much. I know that myself. But I’m confident. I’ll shine even more in the future, and I’ll become a singer that can repay those that spent many hours for me. Thank you to everyone once more, for believing in and following me.

And ARMY, it took a long time for me to make decisions about myself. During this time, thank you so much for being a source of strength by my side. I’ll never forget it.

I’ll become a person who is more developed than now, and as a singer, I’ll work hard and grow so that I can show you a more perfect side of myself.

Thank you so much. Please trust me. I’ll repay you.

— Jungkook
