BTS' Jungkook sent waves of excitement rippling through his adoring fans with his long-awaited return to the social media scene. Renowned as the Golden Maknae, Jungkook made a triumphant comeback on Instagram on Tuesday, July 15th, unveiling his fresh personal account "@mnijungkook." Within a mere 24 hours of its inception, this account shattered records, amassing an astonishing number of followers. Hardly any time had passed before his follower count skyrocketed into the millions. As of this writing, his follower tally stands at an impressive 7.7 million, marking a new benchmark as the fastest-growing Instagram account in 2025.
The creator of the hit song "Dreamers" joined BTS in a lively livestream, which also featured fellow members V, RM, Jimin, and J-Hope. To the delight of his fans, Jungkook went live from his new account almost immediately after setting it up, thereby confirming its authenticity. During this intimate session, the singer of "Standing Next To You" revealed the significance behind his username. "The full form of the user ID is My Name Is Jungkook," he disclosed, sharing a personal touch with his eager audience.
Prior to this, the 27-year-old K-pop sensation had another Instagram account boasting over 50 million followers, but he decided to part ways with it in February 2023. Jungkook subsequently launched a new account dedicated to his beloved pet dog Bam, continuing to engage with his fans through alternative platforms such as Weverse and Bam's handle. This latest Instagram venture has undoubtedly reignited the fervor among his devoted fanbase, painting a vivid picture of his enduring popularity and connection with his supporters.
