BTS member Jungkook shared the reason he named his first solo debut album Golden.

In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the singer relayed, "I have a lot of association to this term golden and when my mom was pregnant she had a golden dream. If I look back on my journey, it's very much a golden moment. So when I thought about the title of this album, golden was the only thing that came up in my mind."

Golden is also a reference to Jungkook's nickname in BTS which is "golden maknae" that means "golden youngest" as he is the youngest member of the group with exceptional talent and versatility.

Golden was released on November 3 and debuted on the top two of the Billboard 200. The album is composed of tracks from upbeat tracks to ballad. 

When asked if it was a conscious effort to put together songs in a variety of styles, Jungkook said, "I wanted to have this universal emotion—love. Everyone can relate  to it. I wanted to show the change of this emotion. And also in terms of versatility, I wanted to become a solo artist who can pull off a lot of genres and that's what I try to do here."

The singer was also asked if his fellow BTS members were able to listen to the songs of Golden first before releasing it. Jungkook replied, "I shared my music with them. Since we've been together for such a long time, they didn't really say anything particular. They just said, 'It's great.'"

Following the release of his debut solo album, will he go on a world tour?

"Of course I want to do a world tour as a solo artist, but I don't think I have enough songs for that. So I want to complement them more and make more songs and maybe when I'm ready I can do the tour in full swing," he said.

Asked what he is most proud of in his journey as an artist, Jungkook replied: "I think the two thing that I'm most proud of are the ARMYs (their fan group) and BTS. If it weren't for them, I would not be what I am today."
