BTS’ Jungkook is slated to appear on Japan’s live music television program CDTV Live! Live! on Monday, December 4, 2023. As per the announcement by the Japanese show’s official social media handles, the live broadcast will be a 2-hour special airing from 7 pm JST/KST.
The BTS maknae will be performing two smashing hit songs from his solo debut album GOLDEN – Seven (feat. Latto) and the album’s title track, Standing Next To You – for the first time in Japan.

Meanwhile, for the unversed, TBS series CDTV Live! Live! or Count Down TV is a late-night music program, featuring Japanese music video hit chart countdowns with broadcasts on music information, along with live performances delivered by artists and musicians.
“Japan deserves”: ARMYs express joy as BTS’ Jungkook is confirmed to perform at Japanese live music TV program
The long-time-running Japanese music show hosted BTS, as a full group back in 2021. The septet took the stage with its songs Butter and Film Out (their Japanese digital single). Further back, in 2020, the group stunned with their performance of their hit single Dynamite for CDTV Live! Live! Christmas Special.
Additionally, Count Down TV saw BTS’ V as its performing guest earlier this year on September 18. V sang Slow Dancing and Love Me Again from his solo debut album Layover in front of Tokyo Tower.
Therefore, it is no wonder that BTS’ Jungkook’s first-ever appearance as a soloist on the same stage is being eagerly awaited by ARMYs in Japan and abroad.
At the same time, ARMYs have been speculating on some upcoming projects ever since Jungkook left for Japan with fellow group member Jimin, a few days ago. At the same time, they did not fail to notice how the 3D singer’s dance crew went with him as well, suspecting something underway.
I completely agree with you.. I think there is work that Jungkook is doing in Japan, especially since the dancers also traveled with him. pic.twitter.com/JMGLhBJCfp
