Will Taekook drop mixtapes together? BTS V's bio and Jungkook’s profile pic in Apple Music leave ARMY in frenzy

Kim Taehyung’s mixtape is called KTH1 and Jungkook’s mixtape is temporarily called ‘JJK1’ by his fans as the official names of the mixtapes haven’t been dropped yet

Is a Taekook subunit happening soon? Will BTS V and Jungkook finally drop their mixtapes together? There are too many questions on the mind of BTS ARMY after the Grammy-nominated K-pop group’s main vocalist Jungkook’s profile picture in Apple Music was changed to a Taekook 'selca', a picture of BTS V aka Kim Taehyung with Violin and Jungkook together. To add to the excitement, BTS V’s bio was also updated. Add both together and now BTS ARMY is going bonkers just not knowing when is the mixtape or mixtapes coming. Here’s what we know so far about KTH1 and JJK1 dropping.

Prior to the release of two of the most anticipated mixtapes of all time, here are a few terms that you need to know. Taekook, the subunit is named after BTS’ Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook. The K-pop stars are the only duo in the Billboard Hot 100 charting group who have never had a sub-unit track since their debut. Kim Taehyung’s mixtape is called KTH1 and Jungkook’s mixtape is temporarily called ‘JJK1’ by his fans as the official names of the mixtapes haven’t been dropped yet.

Will Taekook drop their mixtape together?

BTS ARMY has been catching a number of hints from their last year’s concerts and trailers to announce that a sub-unit is well underway. In the latest turn of events, Jubgkook’s profile picture is a snap of V and him. Jungkook has also been very silent about his own music-making in the last year while Kim Taehyung has constantly talked about the progress and assured fans that the mixtape will be here soon.

Kim Taehyung previously said he has worked on eight to nine songs for his mixtape. The ‘Sweet Night’ crooner who is known for his bluesy rhythm and love for Jazzy tones has also said that his mixtape will be full of songs that he likes to listen to or enjoys creating. BTS V fans truly can’t wait for the mixtape to drop as the ‘Blue and Grey’ singer’s creation always becomes an instant favorite for the listeners with the outpour of honestly and vulnerability in the 26-year-old’s music.  Take a look here to catch up on all the teasers dropped for KTH1 in the past year.

Jungkook first talked about dropping a mixtape in a Buzzfeed interview. Later in 2019’s Map of the Soul concert, the 24-year-old ‘Euphoria’ crooner shared, "I’m not at the level of skill yet where I can release a mixtape on my own. I’ll practice more and try harder." BTS ARMY since then has been waiting for the ‘My Time’ singer to drop more hints about the mixtape. With an updated picture on Apple Music, BTS ARMY is convinced that the singer will drop his mixtape soon.

What are fans saying?

After the recent turn of events, BTS ARMY is beyond excited as they have been waiting a long time for the two most talented K-pop singers to drop their own creation. Taekook-subunit enthusiasts are flooding social media with anticipatory posts. A fan posted, “im really scared to sleep now i just can’t missed a taekook unit or kth1 or jjk1 mixtape.” Another tweet read, “Jungkook profile on apple music changed, is this a spoiler? like what happened to Agust D2????? JJK1 is coming? so does KTH1?? taekook subunit??? screams in confusion!” Another shared daily struggles of being a BTS ARMY, “i just woke up then boom dynamite being #1 on billboard 200 and billboard 200 excluding U.S chart, jjk1 happening soon, kth1 happening soon, taekook subunit rumor and armys going crazy over jungkook and taehyung changing his pfp on apple music. yeah, i'll never sleep again.” Another said, "I may be a clown BUT hear me out. Jungkook’s picture changed on Apple Music (like what happened with Agust D2), the pfp has Tae in it, and Jungkook recently dyed his hair blonde. So here’s what I’m thinking. JJK1 is coming with a TAEKOOK subunit and an MV with his blonde hair!"
