BTS' Golden Maknae Jungkook surprised fans with his creativity when he revealed his Instagram ID containing the letters A to Z, except 'J' and 'K.' The maknae is fondly called 'JK' by fans and members. However, the band's youngest member has changed the username to a simple 'Jungkook.97.' The two digits at the end represent the year he was born.
The username change has created a ripple effect, and now, ARMYs are having a tough time processing the sudden switch. The primary factor is them being attached to the funny yet super-creative ID.
Many hope that someone doesn't use his old username because there will be no turning back for the idol. Usernames once used cannot be taken by any other person unless they contact the user and have them give it up.
BTS' Jungkook changes Instagram username, but ARMY misses old one
On March 16, a unique hashtag, #abcdefghi__lmnopqrstuvwxyz, started trending on Twitter. While it may sound off to locals, ARMYs recognized it in an instant as the 24-year-old Jungkook's Instagram now-former username.
Tweets under the hashtag are filled with "I'll miss you" and goodbyes, all because the idol has changed the beloved username to a simple one, @Jungkook.97.
BTS members went public with their Instagram accounts on December 6 last year and swiftly gained millions of followers. The youngest member's username stole the spotlight with its uniqueness, and now, ARMYs are having a hard time letting it go.
The hashtag is currently trending No. 13 on Twitter's worldwide trends with nearly 7k tweets.
Just 12 hours before, the idol's username was still full of alphabets when he shared a video of himself giggling while watching Twenty-Five, Twenty-One on Instagram.
While fans were at peace knowing that the idol loved the series as much as them, they were in for a surprise a few hours later.
Twitter is now filled with memes, the idol's photos, and especially screenshots of his Instagram before and after the username change.
The Euphoria singer is the only member who has changed his username. Other BTS members and their short, simple Instagram usernames remain the same.
