BTS's Jungkook will release his first solo album "Golden" on Nov. 3, his agency BigHit Music said Wednesday.

"'Golden' will be based on the golden moments of Jungkook as a solo artist and is also linked to him being the 'golden maknae,'" the agency said in a press release. Maknae in Korean means the youngest, since he is the youngest of all the boy band's members.

"Through this album, Jungkook will be able to show his identity and color to the fullest."

The album will contain 11 tracks, including the two singles he released earlier this year, "Seven" and "3D."

"I want to try every music that I can through my voice," Jungkook said in a press release. "I want to give a lot of good songs to you all."

Earlier this week, Jungkook denied dating rumors that had been circulating online in a live stream session on Stationhead, saying that he is currently focusing on his work.

He has been storming worldwide charts with his latest and second official single "3D," released on Friday. It has been sitting at No. 3 on streaming service Spotify's Daily Top Song Global chart for the third consecutive day.

His first single, "Seven," released in July, also shot back up to No. 1 on Spotify's Daily Top Song Global chart on Sunday.
