While BTS‘s Jungkook sent ARMYs into a meltdown with a heartfelt letter for the new year, he also made a significant change for himself by unfollowing everyone on Instagram.
Since Jungkook deleted his personal Instagram account, which had amassed 52 million followers, he created a new Instagram account in April 2024 to proudly show off his beloved dog, Bam. The account @bowwow_bam, with over 6.8 million followers, is now Jungkook’s personal account, although he only posts photos of his dog.

Last year, Jungkook followed many of his idol friends, such as his iconic 97-liners friend group, SEVENTEEN‘s Mingyu, ASTRO‘s Cha Eunwoo, GOT7‘s Yugyeom, Stray Kids‘ Bang Chan, and NCT‘s Jaehyun.

ARMYs are curious to know why and are now concerned that he could potentially deactivate his Instagram account again, knowing he’s done it before.

Whatever Jungkook decides, we’ll be supporting his choice.
