BTS' Jungkook makes surprise IG return, goes live with V, RM, and Jimin on Weverse - ARMY can't handle the chaos
Fans still remember the infamous username @abcdefghi__lmnopqrstuvwxyz before he deleted the account altogether in February 2023. His reason? He didn't see the point in keeping it and preferred the more intimate setting of Weverse Lives. Since then, Jungkook's only IG presence had been a wholesome account for his dog, Bam - @bowwow_bam.
So when V casually hopped onto Instagram again, no one expected the bombshell that followed: BTS leader Kim Namjoon (RM) joined the stream - and so did a mystery account. Fans instantly noticed the unfamiliar handle: @mnijungkook. Within seconds, theories exploded. Could it really be him? Then came confirmation - Jungkook had returned to Instagram.
Not only that, but he launched his own live with V and RM. The trio laughed, joked, and effortlessly brought ARMY to their knees with excitement. It wasn't just a livestream - it was a full-on BTS digital reunion, unpredictable and unforgettable.
Instagram crashes, BTS chaos migrates to Weverse
As Instagram lagged under the pressure of millions tuning in, the boys jumped to safer ground: Weverse. And that's where things truly spiraled into delightful madness.
First, Jungkook and V chatted from different rooms. Then RM entered Jungkook's space, and the two began teasing and laughing. Enter: Jimin. He popped up beside them, only to be sent off to Taehyung's room for fun.
But the plot twisted again: as soon as Jimin arrived, V announced he was taking a shower - and instead reappeared in Jungkook's room! Meanwhile, Jimin, who was left alone, decided it would be good to try on V's clothes. As fans scrambled to keep up, J-Hope made a surprise call from what looked like an airport, briefly checking in with his brothers.
ARMY can't get enough of BTS' bond
It was beautiful chaos - and ARMY was here for all of it. Within minutes, clips and screenshots flooded X (formerly Twitter), with fans praising the spontaneous livestream as 'peak BTS energy.' The interactions - silly, warm, chaotic - were a reminder of the irreplaceable bond between the seven members, and the joy they bring just by being themselves.

The reunion continues: BTS plans for 2026
Talking about BTS' future plans, after completing their mandatory military duties in June, on July 1, they went live together for the first time since enlistment - a moment fans had waited years for.
Currently, BTS is in Los Angeles for a two-month camp to finalize their 2026 comeback album, which will be followed by a full-scale world tour. If the latest livestream is anything to go by, the boys are back - and louder, funnier, and more chaotic than ever.
