Jungkook of BTS, who is currently serving in the military, has recently made a digital advancement by creating an Instagram account for his beloved canine companion, Bam.
The account rapidly gained popularity, accumulating almost 3 million followers in just one day after its launch.
Update on Recent Development and Response
On April 14th, Jungkook thrilled fans by posting a special photo of himself smiling next to Bam, announcing the launch of his dedicated Instagram account for his beloved pet.
Despite his military duties, Jungkook continued to showcase his playful spirit as he jokingly commented in the fan community,
“Since I can’t boast about myself now, I’ll let my baby do the talking. Enjoy some ‘Bam’ time from now on. Unity!”
Upon this announcement, fans reacted explosively and Bam’s follower count skyrocketed to over 200,000 in a matter of seconds.
Exponential Follower Growth
In just 13 hours after the announcement, Bam’s number of followers quickly rose to over 2.78 million, almost reaching 3 million. The account’s popularity is attributed to its carefully selected posts, which include seven heartwarming snapshots of Bam.
Bam’s Instagram account has a select list of seven accounts that they follow, which includes the official handle of BTS and the personal accounts of the remaining BTS members: RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, and V.
The Rise of Pet-Centric Social Media Platforms
In February of last year, Jungkook made the surprising choice to deactivate his personal Instagram account, which had over 52.4 million followers at the time.
Jungkook has decided to utilize Bam’s SNS persona to connect with fans after his military enlistment, a decision that aligns with his previous indications of establishing a separate account for Bam during a pre-enlistment live broadcast. This change reflects his shift towards a stronger digital presence.
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding BTS’s Jungkook on TikTok, as he touched the hearts of ARMYs with a heartfelt gesture towards his fellow member J-Hope.
Despite Jungkook’s absence on social media since his enlistment, fans were delighted to see him active and were moved by his recognition of J-Hope’s talent. This exchange, along with the emotional responses from fans, showcases the strong bond within BTS and brings solace to fans during the group’s enlistment period. These glimpses into the members’ lives offer a sense of connection and solidarity, reaffirming BTS’s status as not only musical icons but also symbols of friendship.
