AKP STAFF

BTS' Jungkook,  withdrew from his personal Instagram account.

On the afternoon of February 28 KST, Jungkook said on Weverse, the official fan communication platform for BTS, "I left Instagram, I wasn't hacked. I never used it so I just deleted it. Don't worry!!"

He followed up by saying, "Hehehehehe I never used it, what could I do!? I just want to use Weverse live every once in awhile.

He then concluded by saying, "I deleted the app right away and I don't think I'll use it in the future! Letting you all know in advance!!"

I can relate to his decision and this totally resonates with how unpractical social media can be for some. My co-workers all have Facebooks and friend eachother. They make me feel like the oddball for not having one and think I'm too introverted. I'm like "No, I just like privacy and not posting about my life for everyone to see."
