These posts, although they may seem like not much on the surface, being just photos from daily life and updates on what he’s doing, the influence he has on fans and people around the world are much bigger than that.

The fact that millions of people view and wait for his next post shows the power he holds as a public figure. While other celebrities may use their social media fame for promotional use and marketing campaigns, BTS and Jungkook do not break into that stereotype.

Although their social media views and likes sometimes exceed even the most popular of celebrities, they don’t use it to their benefit and instead use it to further interact and communicate with their fans.
