KUALA LUMPUR: BTS member Jungkook has deleted his personal Instagram account on Tuesday.
Fans were surprised to discover that the account which had over 50 million followers was suddenly deleted.
Soompi recently reported that the 25-year-old K-pop star whose full name is Jeon Jung-kook did so as he wanted to take a break from social media.
He however assured fans through Weverse, saying: "I deleted my Instagram account. It wasn't hacked. I just deleted it because I wasn't using it much… So don't worry!"
In his other posts, he said that he would continue to communicate with fans using Weverse Live instead.
"I immediately deleted the (Instagram) app too, and I don't think I'll be using it from now on! I just wanted to let you know in advance!"
Jungkook first launched his personal Instagram account on Dec 6, 2021 along with the other six BTS members.
