BTS member Jungkook was shocked and “embarrassed” when he realized he’d accidentally exposed his private TikTok account to millions of fans.
On Tuesday, August 1, BTS member Jungkook was shocked when he realized he’d accidentally revealed his secret TikTok account to his Weverse followers.
It happened when Jungkook decided to share a “Seven” dance cover video done by two of his juniors from BOYNEXTDOOR on TikTok. When he shared the clip, he failed to realize that his personal account name would be displayed with it.
Fans were also shocked to see Jungkook going under the name Ian on the platform, which he previously revealed could have been his stage name.
