BTS’ youngest member Jungkook unintentionally revealed his personal TikTok account to the world and is now being teased by BTS ARMYs.
The accidental reveal happened when the vocalist shared a dance cover by his juniors, several members of ENHYPEN, of his recent release called Seven.

However, Jungkook did not realize that his personal TikTok account would be displayed when fans clicked the link.
Upon realizing his mistake, the musician swiftly changed his display name from “Ian” to his stage name “JK.” He also changed his username from “@ian2anean” to “@letjungcook7.”

Embarrassed about his hilarious blunder, he went to WeVerse to send a message to his fans who saw and followed his private account in the short-form video sharing platform.
“Ah, I shared a TikTok now everyone knows my account lol (Ah, I had my nickname as Ian… that’s embarrassing…) That’s right, it’s me, but I won’t do TikTok (on that account), it’s for viewing. I hastily changed to JK… I’ll leave it since everyone knows now lol it’s rather better (this way),” Jungkook wrote.

Fans also started calling him “Ian,” his supposed stage name upon debuting as a BTS member.
Jungkook also playfully told fans to stop teasing him by making more Ian memes.
“Ah… so embarrassing… Sigh… Don’t make fun of me the next time you see me,” he wrote on WeVerse.
“Stop making Ian memes.”
