“What are you on about?”— BTS’ Namjoon leaves fans confused as he plays around with his Instagram account while giving a health update

On January 18, 2025, BTS leader Namjoon stirred curiosity among fans with some unexpected activity on his Instagram account, @rkive. Within an hour, he unfollowed and then refollowed his fellow BTS members, leaving fans puzzled.

Around the same time, he also shared an Instagram story updating fans about his recent run in Hwacheon, mentioning that the weather was extremely cold but that he managed to squeeze in a run.

However, the unfollowing and refollowing spree raised questions among fans, with some speculating about a possible misunderstanding or issue among the members. Adding to the speculation, RM did not follow Jungkook’s account back.

While Jungkook doesn’t have a personal Instagram, he runs an account dedicated to his pet dog, Bam, which RM also didn’t refollow. This has left fans concerned and sparked discussions online about whether there’s more to the situation. One netizen on X tweeted:

"What are you on about?"

Although there’s no official statement or confirmation of any tension, fans continue to express their thoughts and worries across social media.

"I think Namjoon plays too much on Instagram, he unfollowed and then refollowed all the members' accounts, it's funny," a fan said.

"I love when joon keeps us updated on his bulk building journey," another fan wrote.

"People are jumping to some unbelievable conclusions about namjoon not following back jungkook's dog's Instagram account," an X user commented.

Some other fans tried to comfort fellow ARMYs through comments like,

"We’re talking about namjoon who constantly changes his instagram," another fan said.

"Guys y'all need to chill it's Instagram glitch nothing else.... Joon loves all the members so dearly, we've seen it throughout the hiatus period. Idk why are you guys overanalyzing it. Breathe." a fan expressed.

"You people are jumping to some unbelievable conclusions," another fan remarked.

Namjoon seemingly posts unrelated content on Instagram for two days

On January 17, Namjoon shared a deeply thoughtful Instagram story featuring an op-ed from the news publication JoongAng Daily. The article, written by Professor Heo Ji-won, a psychology expert, resonated deeply with fans. Many found it emotionally impactful, praising Namjoon for sharing such meaningful content that aligns with his introspective personality.

However, the updates on January 18 took a different turn. He posted a screenshot from his fitness tracking app, revealing that he had run 2 kilometers that day despite the harsh cold in Hwacheon. His caption read:

“It’s so cold in Hwacheon that I can’t even run.”

What caught fans off guard was the idol's unexpected activity of unfollowing and refollowing his fellow BTS members on Instagram. While some attributed this to a potential glitch or impulsive action, his decision not to follow Jungkook’s dog Bam’s account left fans speculating further.

Although Bam's Instagram account has never followed any of the BTS members, fans debated whether there was more to the story or if it was simply an overblown misunderstanding. The sudden unfollow-follow spree, combined with the candid updates, has left fans puzzled. Many continue to discuss the situation online, seeking clarity while expressing support for the BTS leader.
