South Korean pop star Jung Kook has been added to the list of 2023 Global Citizen Festival headliners.

This will be Jung Kook’s first solo performance at the Global Citizen Festival, which is set to take place in Central Park in New York City on September 23.

The BTS star joins previously announced headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lauryn Hill and Anitta.

Jung Kook said he is thrilled to join this year’s Global Citizen Festival as a headliner, adding, “The festival sheds light on important causes and drives action and I’m happy to take part in it. I can’t wait to perform in front of many people at the Great Lawn in Central Park.”
