BTS’s Golden Maknae Goes Dark On Instagram But Lights Up On Weverse
BTS’s Jungkook is one of the most popular idols of this generation. He’s known for his angelic voice, impressive dance moves, and charming personality that have stolen the hearts of millions of ARMYs worldwide.
Jungkook is also known for being active on social media, particularly on Instagram, where he often shares his personal life and BTS-related updates with his followers. However, the K-pop superstar recently deleted his Instagram account, causing a stir among his fans.
Jungkook, who had over 50 million followers on Instagram, deleted his account without warning or explanation. This led to many speculations, with some fans fearing that his account was hacked. However, the “Golden Maknae” took to Weverse, a social media platform for K-pop idols, to clarify the situation.
“I deleted my Instagram account. It wasn’t hacked. I just deleted because I wasn’t using it much… So don’t worry!” he reassured his fans.
Jungkook also mentioned that he would continue communicating with his fans using Weverse Live, an interactive streaming service that allows K-pop idols to chat with their fans in real time.
“I immediately deleted the [Instagram] app too, and I don’t think I’ll be using it from now on! I just wanted to let you know in advance!” he wrote in another post.
While Jungkook’s sudden departure from Instagram may have shocked some fans, it’s not entirely surprising. The BTS members have previously expressed their concerns about the negative effects of social media on their mental health.
Jungkook is known for his playful and engaging posts, often sharing selfies and behind-the-scenes glimpses of his life. However, the K-pop star has also faced some negative attention on social media.
In the past, Jungkook has been criticized for his fashion choices, with some naysayers expressing disappointment at his outfits. Despite this, Jungkook has always remained unapologetic and confident in his choices.
Of course, it’s not uncommon for K-pop idols to take breaks from social media or to limit their usage. Many idols have talked about the pressure to maintain a perfect image online and the toll it can take on their mental health.
The BTS members have always been candid about the pressures of fame and its impact on their mental health. In their song “Reflection,” the group talks about their struggles with self-doubt and its toll on their well-being.
Similarly, RM highlighted the cost of fame in his solo track “Wildflower,” where he sings about the loneliness and hardships of being a celebrity.
So as ARMYs continue to support Jungkook and BTS, it’s important to remember that idols are humans too and that their well-being should always be a priority.
While social media has undoubtedly played a significant role in the success of K-pop, it’s important to recognize the potential negative effects it can have on mental health and to encourage idols to take breaks when necessary.
And while Jungkook’s decision to delete his Instagram account may have disappointed some fans, it is clear that he remains committed to connecting with his fans and sharing his passion for music and photography in other ways. As one of the most talented and beloved members of BTS, he continues to be an inspiration to millions around the world.
