Documentary on BTS's Jungkook 'Jung Kook: I Am Still' to premiere worldwide next month

A documentary film on Jungkook of BTS’s solo music career will premiere worldwide on Sept. 18, BigHit Music said Thursday.

Titled “Jung Kook: I Am Still,” it will be available to watch in local CGV theaters and 120 nations. The Japanese premiere is set to be on Oct. 4.

The film dives into the production process of Jungkook’s first single “Seven” (2023), which features rapper Latto, and his first album “Golden” (2023). “Seven” placed No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and “Golden” was No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Exclusive behind-the-scenes footage will also be shown throughout the documentary, like his fan showcase event and when he performed at the TSX Stage in Times Square.

The film will debut Jungkook’s recording session of “Standing Next to You,” the lead track for “Golden.”

Jungkook was recently nominated for Best Collaboration and Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
