BTS’ Jungkook refuses to perform Standing Next To You with Usher at the Super Bowl; here’s why

Unquestionably one of the most well-known K-pop performers, Jungkook of BTS has also established himself internationally. He worked with Usher on the Standing Next To You remix for his first solo album, GOLDEN. The pop sensation extended an invitation to him to sing the song at the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, but he had to turn it down because of his military service.

The New Yorker published an interview with Bang Si Hyuk, Scooter Braun, and other people on October 8, 2024, in which they discussed their varied professional paths.

However, because of his enrollment in the South Korean military, Jungkook turned down the invitation to perform at the ceremony. He enlisted in the military in 2023 and is currently assigned to the Republic of Korea Army’s 5th Infantry Division.

In addition, the performer has a solo documentary film called I AM STILL available. It chronicles the 150-day recording process for the album GOLDEN and the events leading up to its official release. In addition to live concerts in Times Square and Seoul, it has behind-the-scenes footage and unique interviews. On September 18, 2024, it made its theatrical debut in a number of locations.

In 2013, Jungkook had his K-pop idol debut with BTS, along with Jin, RM, Jimin, J-hope, V, and Suga. With the release of his solo album GOLDEN in 2023, the musician made his global breakthrough. Popular joint efforts like SEVEN ft. Latto and 3D ft. Jack Harlow, which reached the top of worldwide charts, are included on the album. It also features a remix of the popular song Standing Next to You by pop sensation Usher.
