BTS star Jung Kook is set to make his solo debut at this month’s Global Citizen Festival.
The 26-year-old will co-headline the Global Citizen Festival later this month, joining a lineup that includes previously announced headliners Megan Thee Stallion, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Conan Gray, Lauryn Hill and more.
The free, ticketed festival will be broadcast live from New York City’s Central Park on September 23. It aims to end extreme poverty and raise awareness about the climate crisis and equality for women and girls.
“I am so excited to be a headliner at this year’s Global Citizen Festival!” Jung Kook said in a statement. “The festival shines a light on important causes and inspires action, and I’m happy to be a part of it. I can’t wait to perform in front of a crowd on the Great Lawn in Central Park.”
The singer previously performed at the international advocacy organization’s festival two years ago alongside his BTS bandmates. The group shared the stage with Coldplay.
The announcement comes on the heels of the release of his first solo single, titled Seven, featuring Latto. It was released on July 14 and debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
