When BTS's Jungkook released the remix of “Standing Next to You” last year, fans were outraged, especially when rumors of a collaboration with Usher surfaced.

In fact, Usher jumped on the remix, raising hopes of a Super Bowl halftime duet!

But despite the buzz, Jungkook had to turn down Usher's offer to perform at the big event.

Why? According to Billboard, Jungkook withdrew from the Super Bowl spotlight due to his mandatory military service. I guess the fans will have to wait a little longer for this dream stage!

According to Koreaboo, Korean fans were disappointed by the news and called it a missed golden opportunity for Jungkook.

Meanwhile, Usher lit up the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show with an electrifying 11-song medley, showcasing his musical legacy. Now the anticipation is building as to who will take the stage at the 2025 Super Bowl.

Jungkook's year was also quite eventful. His solo journey is highlighted in the newly released documentary Jung Kook: I Am Still, presented by PVRINOX Pictures in India. The film offers a behind-the-scenes look at his journey from BTS' global fame to building his own unique identity as a solo artist. The documentary was released in India on September 21 and 22, just two days after its South Korean premiere. He captures the intense eight-month process of creating his solo album Golden and gives fans an intimate look into his personal and artistic development.

Golden remained on the Billboard 200 for an impressive 24 consecutive weeks and viewers of Jung Kook: I Am Still were treated to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, personal interviews and concert footage. These insights highlighted Jungkook's passion and dedication to his solo career.

Currently, Jungkook serves alongside Jimin in the South Korean military under the military's buddy system. Both entered service on December 12, 2023 and are expected to complete their service and return by September next year.
