BTS's Jungkook follows several TikTok accounts upon coming online after months
Jeon Jungkook of BTS came online on TikTok on March 24, 2024. Due to his ongoing military enlistment, one of the last times he was active online was on January 17 when he graduated from his five weeks of basic military training. He had posted the word "Unity" on Weverse to update his fan base about his successful completion of basic training.
Since then, the artist came online on March 16, 2024, where Jungkook updated his fans via Weverse that he is doing well in the military and has been assigned the job of kitchen staff. They were delighted to hear that their idol was enjoying himself well.
Now, after months of any proper online activity, the Standing Next To You singer was seen liking one video of Jimin's performance on Closer To You. He did not interact with his fans, but his online activity delighted the BTS ARMY as the singer came online after months.
Even though the message was brief, supporters were happy that he had finally made an appearance, even if it was only to say hello. Notably, since each member of BTS started their own Instagram account, Jungkook has maintained a tight relationship with the fan base.
Meanwhile, after deleting his Instagram account in February 2023, the star's TikTok account was discovered by fans when he accidentally shared a post from his TikTok account on Weverse in September 2023. Since then the artist has expressed his approval of several TikTok edits by liking them.
