The Real Origin Of BTS Jungkook’s Private TikTok Name “Ian”
Recently, BTS‘s Jungkook made a hilarious mistake when he accidentally revealed his private TikTok account using the name “Ian.”
While it may seem like he chose a random name, true ARMYs know that “Ian” holds a special meaning to Jungkook!
During BTS’s episode of Knowing Brothers, Jungkook revealed his stage name ideas that he almost chose when debuting. First, he shared the iconic name “Seagull” that many fans still joke about to this day.
Next, he shared some less well-known name ideas, including “Tattoo.” Though Jungkook ended up getting many tattoos years later, this name didn’t quite pass the test!
Lastly, he shared that “Ian” was another one of his stage name ideas that didn’t make the cut.
Jungkook even added the name to the BT21 universe where Ian is a member of AT21, BT21’s rival group.

Previously close with Cooky, he bares a strong resemblance to the pink rabbit. However, he’s a slightly different shade of pink and has black ears.
Previously, Jungkook even created a whole backstory concerning the two when expanding the BT21 universe.
Lmfao not at how they edited a giant MSG on Namjoon's back while he laid down his dramatic takes on Cooky. Then there was Jungkook sounding all enthusiatic but at the same time cutie Koo tryna explain his storyline for Cooky 🥺💜🐰

It seems Jungkook’s love for the name is still alive and well — and he won’t be escaping from this name anytime soon!
