On June 12, 2013, Jungkook made his debut as a member of BTS with the release of the single 2 Cool 4 Skool. Under BTS, he has sung three solo songs; the first, pop track "Begin" from the 2016 album Wings, told his story of moving to Seoul at a young age to become an idol and expresses his gratitude towards his fellow members for taking care of him during that time. The second, a future bass song titled "Euphoria", was released with an accompanying nine-minute short film on April 5, 2018, as the introduction to the third part of BTS' "Love Yourself" series. Produced by DJ Swivel, the song charted at number five on the Billboard Bubbling Under HOT 100. Its full studio version was included on BTS' Love Yourself compilation album, released on August 24. The third solo, "My Time", off the band's 2020 studio album map of the soul, is a strobing R&B song about forgoing teenage experiences because of his career and charted at number 84 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

In July 2021, he was appointed Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture by President Moon Jae-in, along with the other members of BTS, to help "lead the global agenda for future generations, such as sustainable growth" and "expand South Korea's diplomatic efforts and global standing" in the international community.
SOLO ACTIVITIES
“Begin” is a track that starts. It’s the beginning of the solo songs. It’s the story that our youngest member (JUNG KOOK) is telling. Jungkook tried to write the lyrics by himself at first – It’s best to write your own lyrics. But Jungkook was really troubled with trying to write the lyrics. It was released on October 10, 2016, and appears as the third track for their second studio album Wings and the repackage album You Never Walk Alone.
