'Some shady stuff is going on': BTS sparks disbandment rumours after RM unfollows and re-follows members, Jungkook's pet on Instagram
In a shocking Instagram move, RM, the leader of BTS, unfollowed and then again followed all members of BTS. He also removed Jungkook's pet Bam's account from his Instagram followers and didn't follow it back for quite some time despite re-following all the members. RM's latest social media activity has now sparked disbandment rumours and speculations of a potential rift between him and Jungkook.
BTS leader RM's recent Instagram activity has got the fandom buzzing. The rapper recently unfollowed all his teammates, including Jungkook's adorable pet dog Bam's account, and was only following two accounts¡ªthe official BTS page and a page managed by his team. But, in a surprising turn of events, he followed all the unfollowed accounts back just a few hours later. However, he still did not follow Jungkook's dog's account, which the Seven singer himself manages, sparking rumours of a rift between the two. While he has now re-followed Bam's account, Namjoon's recent social media activity has left K-pop fans speculating about BTS's disbandment amid reports of a reunion.

Some fans are even drawing parallels with Jungkook's past action of unfollowing all the members and the official BTS account from Bam's Instagram account. Notably, Jungkook had deactivated his personal Instagram account, and he was using Bam's account to keep up with the members' activities. However, he unfollowed them after a few months, which was discovered by fans on January 8, 2025. He also deleted his account on Threads.
RM's social media activity reignites BTS' disbandment rumours
BTS are no strangers to disbandment rumours despite all seven members of the group sharing a close-knit bond and hyping each other on every other occasion. RM's recent Instagram activity has once again reignited the band's disbandment rumours, with K-pop fans coming up with new theories.
"So basically there's some shady stuff going on for the past few months. First, the articles about BTS repeatedly failing to mention Jungkook/removing him from group pics, then he unfollows everyone on IG, and now another member specifically unfollows him on IG," wrote one user.

Meanwhile, some solo stans of Jungkook added that it's about time they set him free to focus on his individual career. "We want Jungkook to focus on his solo career and himself. The band is a flop now, and JK needs to prioritize his own life. Enough volunteering and sacrifice. Free Koo," a user added.

However, BTS fans, ARMYs, came out in the boys' defense and asked others to stop speculating, as members have every now and then reiterated they will reunite.
"I¡¯m sorry, but y'all are getting annoying. BTS has spent the last three years asking you to trust them and that they want to come back as a group ASAP. I don¡¯t understand why you guys constantly blow up and make a discourse out of everything," wrote one fan.

When will BTS reunite?
All seven members of BTS¡ªRM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook¡ªare expected to reunite this summer after completing their individual military service. While Jin and J-Hope have already completed their mandatory duties, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are currently fulfilling their soldier duties in the South Korean army. Suga, meanwhile, is serving as a public service officer, an alternative form of mandatory duty, after being exempted from military service owing to a shoulder injury he sustained in 2020.
