South Korean boy band BTS’ fanbase, also known as the ARMY, was sent into a frenzy when the group’s most popular member Jungkook deleted his Instagram account.
Also known as JK, the vocalist has created an impressive solo career for himself with three songs that are a part of BTS’ catalogue, namely Begin, Euphoria, and My Time, apart from the music he has made with the seven-member K-Pop group that consists of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook himself.
The star unveiled his latest single Dreamers at the historical 2022 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony performance where he headlined the prestigious event with Qatari singer Fahad Al Kubaisi.

Knowing the era of celebrities prioritizing socmed to boost their sources of income, it’s really refreshing to see Jungkook, regardless of being one of the most relevant and high profile public figure not caring one thing about the numbers his acc attained.

Fans also praised the star for staying true to himself and always doing what he likes instead of falling for the pressures of social media.
If y’all know him at all, Jungkook has never been a social media guy. He loves doing song covers and singing on lives. Him saying he’d rather do WeLives from now on is SO Jungkook. ❤️?

jungkook can commit to lifelong tattoos but an insta layout is where he draws the line
