Jungkook of BTS deletes his Instagram account: Here's why

BTS’ Jungkook surprised ARMY by deleting his Instagram account on Tuesday, Soompi reported.

Taking to the fan community forum Weverse, BTS' youngest member shared a series of posts announcing that "I deleted my Instagram account. It wasn’t hacked. I just deleted it because I wasn’t using it much… So don’t worry!"

In his other posts, he wrote that "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!"

The 25-year-old singer left his fans in shock by deleting his official account which had over 50 million followers. A fan wrote, "JK (Jungkook) has a point though because he’s really not using it. I love his Weverse LIVE and I feel more connected to him. Today, he told us how he feels and what happened to Bam and that’s so lovely."

On the other hand, another social media user commented: "I’m sad, yes, but, I’m also happy for him because he’s a person that knows what he wants."
