BTS’ youngest member, Jungkook, has left many fans scratching their heads after he deleted all his posts on Instagram.
Fans of the K-pop boy band, collectively known as ARMY, were surprised Tuesday when they saw that Jungkook’s Instagram posts were completely wiped out. The “Euphoria” singer, who has 40.4 million followers on Instagram, did not say anything as to why he erased his Instagram posts.
The topic “What Is Happening” trended on Twitter after fans took to the platform to seek clarification or simply express their emotions about the disappearance of the posts, Koreaboo reported.
“NOOO!! Jungkookie… Hope everything is well, Jungkook ♡ This is heartbreaking, devastating, but if JK feels it’s necessary, we will trust him, we will support him. We love you, Jeon Jungkook! ♡ (Just really praying that he did not get hacked,” a fan wrote.
Another said, “Jungkookie please post something i am losing my mind here.” One BTS fan said it was not “normal” for the star to delete his posts.
The K-pop septet – Suga, RM, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Jin and Jungkook – will meet President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday as part of the Asian American and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month celebrations. They will discuss the rising anti-Asian hate incidents and discrimination in the U.S. Jungkook left for the U.S. last Saturday, while the remaining members of the group started their journey Sunday.
The boy band members have been vocal about hate crimes.
“For Asian hate, I wasn’t born and raised abroad, but Asians…[our path around the world] we truly felt the walls,” said BTS leader Kim Nam-Joon, also known as RM, ahead of the group’s performance in L.A. last November. “The walls can always be described as words, sometimes it’s visible, sometimes, it’s invisible and sensitive.”
Apple Music launched a weekly limited series on BTS last Saturday. “BTS Radio: Past & Present” will chronicle the humble beginnings of the K-pop superstars and their journey to international stardom. The three-episode limited series will end on June 10, which coincides with the release of the band’s new album, “Proof.”
