#that red bullet gif was one of the most complex I've done so far

SOLO TOUR MATH

To those that make comments about the remaining members doing solo tours, please allow me to present the following data. I've included counts of songs that were officially* released by the start of the tour as best as I can figure. Based on the data of the previous tours, we can guesstimate how many songs each member would need to release prior to starting their own Solo tour. I'm not including RM since he stated we wouldn't be seeing much of him before he starts his military service.

The Red Bullet Tour set list included 24 songs - 4 of which were the encore. (Source) There were 34 songs in the BTS library prior to the start.

The D-DAY Tour set list was 20 songs - 3 for the encore. (Source) There were 34 songs in his library prior to the start .

With only two data points, 34 seems to be the threshold of songs before a tour would start.

Jimin currently has 13 songs. He would need to release 21 more songs to hit the arbitrary 34.

Songs included: Lie, Serendipity, Filter, Promise, Christmas Love, With You, Vibe, Angel, Face-off, Like Crazy, Alone, Set Me Free pt.2, Letter

(Aw, 13 for our chim chim!)

V currently (sorta, I'm including LayoVer) has 14 songs. He would need to release 20 more songs to hit the arbitrary 34.

Songs included: Stigma, Singularity, Inner Child, It's Definitely You, Scenery, Winter Bear, Sweet Night, Snow Flower, Christmas Tree, Rainy Days, Blue, Love Me Again, Slow Dancing, For Us

(...never noticed how many of V's songs start with an S until I typed this out)

Jungkook currently has 9 songs. He would need to release 25 more songs to hit the arbitrary 34.

Songs included: Begin, Euphoria, My Time, Still With You, Stay Alive, My You, Left & Right, Dreamers, Seven

(Both FACE and LayoVer have 5 songs, do we think JJK1 will also be 5?)

This concludes my hypothetical presentation into the math of song library to tour count. Hopefully this made sense and we will stop seeing comments asking for a solo tour from the maknae line until they're given more time to develop and release.

*To calculate the release quantity, I included Spotify tracks that could have been performed, excluding duplicates, skits, and intros/interludes/outros that weren't really a full song. I did not include featured songs that aren't linked to their Spotify profiles. This method of inclusion is completely subjective and others may arrive at different totals.
