BTS Jungkook member had the most Gen Z explanation ever for deleting his Instagram account
Global phenomenon BTS's youngest member, Jeon Jung-kook, gave ARMYs — the group's official fandom name — all around the world a huge scare when he deleted his personal Instagram account. The account had 52 million followers at the time.
On Tuesday, the 25-year-old singer announced on Weverse — the company's official fan-community app — that he has left Instagram.
"I wasn't hacked. I just never used it so I deleted it. Don't worry!" Jeon said on Weverse. Moments after the singer deleted his account, fans took to various social media platforms commemorating the now-gone Instagram page.

Evidently, fans are pretty downcast over Jeon's withdrawal from the social media platform.
"Heheheheheh LOL I just didn't use it much. Whatchu gonna do!!? I'll stick to doing Weverse lives from time to time," the worldwide famous singer bantered with his fans on Weverse in a follow-up post.
In another post on Weverse, Jeon also gave his fans a heads-up and said that he doesn't think he will use Instagram anymore in the future.
The K-pop group that Jeon is a member of is an international sensation that has broken record after record, achieving up to five Grammy nominations to date.
Though fans can't help but miss the interactions with Jeon on Instagram, many admire the star for staying true to his own nature and not pandering to the masses for popularity's sake.
