After the youngest member of BTS suddenly changed his username, ARMYs are both regretting the previous name and excitedly discussing the reason behind his decision.
As soon as he opened his official personal Instagram at the end of last year, Jungkook (BTS) made an impression when he decided to give his account a very long name – “abcdefghi__lmnopqrstuvwxyz“, which includes all characters in foreign alphabets except for the 2 characters in his name, J and K. At that time, this naming method also caused a fever on social networks, and at the same time became a trend that many people follow.
However, after less than 4 months of using a 26-character username, the BTS member suddenly changed his Instagram name to a much simpler name: “Jungkook.97“. Accordingly, fans are also making many theories around the reason why the youngest member of BTS decided to change his username from a unique and creative account name to a simpler one.
ARMYs joked that Jungkook changed his username to a short stage name to make it easier to communicate with other artists because BTS is about to perform at the Grammy Awards. If someone asks for his Instagram account, he can simply say “Jungkook.97” rather than the excessively long name “abcdefghi__lmnopqrstuvwxyz” and note that there must be two “_” signs. Furthermore, some fans believe that the male idol changed his account name to make it easier to log in since he was too tired after thousands of failed login attempts.
On the other hand, others believe he changed his Instagram name in order to deflect fans’ attention ahead of suddenly releasing the mixtape “JJK1.” “Jungkook once said that he would suddenly release a mixtape one day when the fans weren’t paying attention. As a result, he must have changed his username on purpose to deflect our attention and then unexpectedly released “JJK1,” according to one ARMY.
Whether it’s “abcdefghi__lmnopqrstuvwxyz” or “Jungkook.97”, ARMYs will always love any name as long as it belongs to Jungkook. On the other hand, in the near future, the male idol will perform with BTS members on the stage of “Grammy 2022” taking place on April 3. They were also nominated for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance”. After that, the group also had a 4-night concert in Las Vegas, USA.
