Apologizing for being late, he acknowledged the day's challenges, shared his uncertainties, and reassured fans, saying, “It looks like this will be my last live before enlisting. Today I just sent off V hyung and Namjoon hyung. Then I ate a meal and did some things I needed to do, cleaned up, and prepared some things, so the life ended up being a little late, sorry," he said.


Further, he said, “Now that it’s the day before, my heart and mind feel a bit iffy, but I need to sleep tonight so I can concentrate tomorrow and stuff too."

Seeking to comfort ARMYs, Jungkook reassured, “I’ll go and come back well or safely." Visibly holding back tears, the Golden Maknae conveyed his heartfelt appreciation to fans for their unwavering cheers throughout their journey.

As the live session neared its end, Jungkook bid farewell, acknowledging the difficulty of parting, “Goodbye~ stay safe~ bye bye~ I’ll go now~ I just came for a short bit today to give my greetings~ i love you~ oh, it’s not the last live ever. just the last one before I enlist. I’ll come back stronger than before. Bye."


In July 2023, Jungkook marked his solo debut with the digital single "Seven." Following this, he collaborated on tracks such as "3D" featuring Jack Harlow and "Too Much" with The Kid Laroi and Central Cee. Bringing the year to a close, the singer released his inaugural solo album, titled "Golden," on November 3.
