BTS’ Jungkook, saddened ARMY recently by changing his creative username on Instagram, but now he made it up to fans by answering numerous questions on the social network.

The “Stay alive” singer entered the network in December 2021 under the username @abcdefghi_lmnopqrstuvwxyz. Said name, created as a game between the letters of the alphabet and his nickname “JK”, was celebrated by insiders and outsiders to the BTS fandom due to his creativity.

However, the famous 24-year-old Korean went on to identify himself as @jungkook.97 from March 15th. Fans wondered about the reason for this action.

Some postulated that the idol had been forced by his publicity team, as they found it difficult to believe that he willingly changed the ID.
