“On 4th September 2020 Jungkook’s solo song ‘Begin’ celebrated 4 years since it was released. From September 4th to 13th Big Hit Entertainment released a series of short films for each member to promote the upcoming Wings album. The short films started with Jungkook’s “Begin”, followed by Jimin’s “Lie”, V’s “Stigma”, Suga’s “First Love”, RM’s “Reflection”, J-Hope’s “Mama”, and ended with Jin’s “Awake”. Jungkook was 19 when the song was released and when he performed it for the first time.
Speaking about the song, Jungkook said “After living with them (BTS) for so long, there are things I can say without words. To me it’s like an invisible connection. I changed my house and came to Seoul when I was still very young. In some moments I feel an immense connection with all of them”
Jungkook also mentioned that since he has always been around his 6 Hyung’s he could be a manifestation of all their characters coming together. He dedicated his first solo song to them knowing how much they have brought him up and taught him most of the things he knows. He loves his Hyungs very much
Four years ago, Jungkook, the youngest member of BTS, embarked on a new journey that solidified his position not just as a member of the globally acclaimed group but also as an artist in his own right. The release of his first solo song, Begin, marked a significant turning point in his career, a moment of artistic maturity, and a testament to his talent. The song has resonated deeply with fans, both for its emotional depth and its personal connection to Jungkook’s journey. Now, on the 4th anniversary of its release, it’s time to celebrate and reflect on how Begin has shaped his career and the hearts of his fans.
Jungkook’s Begin was more than just a song—it was an emotional narrative that took fans on a journey through his personal growth and transformation within BTS. The track was featured on BTS’s WINGS album, released in 2016, and served as the first solo song of Jungkook’s career. It was written by Jungkook himself, who poured his heart and soul into every note and lyric. The song conveyed his gratitude towards the members of BTS who had been like family to him, guiding him through his teenage years as they navigated the highs and lows of fame.
In Begin, Jungkook spoke about how he went from a boy with dreams to a man who has achieved more than he ever imagined. The song encapsulates his sense of loyalty, admiration, and love for the members who have been his brothers, mentors, and anchors throughout his life. It’s a song filled with raw emotion, underscoring Jungkook’s growth and the bond he shares with his bandmates.
The lyrics themselves are deeply personal: “You gave me your heart, and I’ve received it,” Jungkook sings, echoing the gratitude he feels for the members who helped him navigate his journey. It’s a reflection of his growth from a shy teenager into a mature and confident artist. The vulnerability of the song was something that BTS fans, known as ARMY, immediately latched onto. Jungkook’s sincerity and depth in Begin created an intimate connection between him and his fans, one that only deepened over the years.
Begin was not just a starting point for Jungkook as a solo artist but also a turning point for his development as a musician. It was a crucial moment in his career because it gave him the opportunity to showcase his personal side, and for the first time, ARMY was able to hear his unique voice unfiltered and raw.
Jungkook has always been a versatile vocalist in BTS, capable of tackling different genres and styles. However, Begin allowed him to break free from the group’s constraints and explore his artistry in a way that felt more personal. His voice, full of emotion and passion, took center stage, highlighting his vocal strength and the deep emotions he can convey through music.
This track also allowed Jungkook to step out of the shadow of BTS’s dynamic vocal line and show the world who he truly was as an artist. He wasn’t just the golden maknae anymore; he was Jungkook, the artist with something important to say. And his fans heard him loud and clear.
While Begin was his first solo song, it wasn’t his last. Since then, Jungkook has released a number of other solo projects, continuing to develop and refine his sound. Begin served as a foundation, a proof of concept for the type of artist Jungkook would become. His subsequent solos, such as Euphoria, My Time, and Still With You, all built upon the emotion and authenticity of Begin, each song reflecting his growth, both musically and personally.
In the four years since Begin’s release, Jungkook has transformed in ways that even he may not have anticipated. As a member of BTS, he has matured, taking on new roles within the group, from choreography and stage presence to musical production. But his solo projects have been the perfect outlet for his personal expression, allowing him to show a side of himself that was sometimes hidden behind the group dynamic.
As a performer, Jungkook’s stage presence has evolved, drawing from the lessons he learned in his early years with BTS and combining them with his ever-growing musical skill set. From his deep, emotive vocals to his powerful performances, Jungkook has become one of the most impressive soloists in K-pop. His growth is evident not just in his music but in his ability to connect with his audience, whether through the intense energy he brings to the stage or the quiet vulnerability he shows in his ballads.
One of the most remarkable things about Jungkook’s journey is how he has remained grounded despite his immense success. His humility and dedication to his craft are evident in every project he’s taken on. Begin was a clear reflection of this. As a young artist, he didn’t seek to center himself but instead chose to honor the members who had helped him grow. Four years later, his music still reflects that sense of gratitude and love.
Jungkook’s Begin has become more than just a song; it has become a symbol of his connection with his fans. From the moment the song was released, ARMY embraced it, interpreting it not just as a tribute to the BTS members but as a tribute to them as well. Jungkook’s lyrics have spoken to fans on a personal level, resonating with them in ways that few songs ever do. His fans see the song as a reflection of their own journey with him and the group, a shared experience of growth, love, and mutual support.
The celebration of Begin’s fourth anniversary is not just about looking back on the song itself but also about looking at the journey Jungkook and ARMY have taken together. From the early days of BTS, when they were still a rookie group trying to make their mark, to their rise as global superstars, Begin represents a pivotal moment in that journey. It’s a moment that encapsulates everything that BTS stands for: hard work, gratitude, and love for one another.
As fans celebrate Begin’s fourth anniversary, they have taken to social media with the hashtag #4YearsWithBegin. It’s a way to honor the song, the artist, and the connection that Jungkook has with his fans. The hashtag is more than just a celebration of a song; it’s a reflection of the deep bond between Jungkook and ARMY. Over the years, fans have expressed their admiration for the song and the emotions it brings to the surface. Begin has become a soundtrack for many fans’ lives, accompanying them through moments of joy, sorrow, and everything in between.
As the world celebrates Jungkook’s first solo song, it’s clear that his artistry will only continue to evolve, and his bond with his fans will only deepen. Begin was just the start of his solo journey, and who knows where his music will take him next. But one thing is for sure: Begin will always hold a special place in the hearts of those who have been with him from the very beginning.
Here’s to Begin—the song that started it all. Happy 4th anniversary, Jungkook! We can’t wait to see what’s next.
