A netizen made a post on a community bulletin board and asked for the personal Instagram accounts of each BTS member, and ARMY united to protect their boys!
While one user went into detail about speculation and theories about Jungkook‘s personal Instagram account, many ARMY went on to express their disapproval for anyone seeking this type of knowledge as it crosses the line from being a fan to being a sasaeng. Comments condemning the asker include this response, reminding the asker that BTS deserves privacy and that it’s pathetic to intrude on their personal lives.
I’ll be more than happy to tell, you their account names.

Get the idea? Listen to me closely, these people are just like you and me, flesh and blood. They have a job as entertainers and that’s it. They don’t want you snooping into their lives so why are you so pathetically attempting to do so? Is it something about them that drives you that you just have to see what they are up to? Are you gay? What drives you to intrude upon their lives?
This is the problem, isn’t it? When you finally sit back and stop to think about it, it makes you wonder, just why am I doing this? Why am I trying to go to such lengths just to see into someone else life that I don’t even know. That’s the whole point of it, you don’t know them, not one, yet you think for one second you should be able to pry into their lives why?
So, it’s a but creepy when you think about it, right? No one who knows the answer will tell, you, and if they did, they would be found out and would immediately be disowned and that account would disappear. It’s as fast as taking a breath, so stop asking, it won’t happen.

Another ARMY seconded that opinion, stating that intruding into their personal, private lives would make them a sasaeng and that fans should be satisfied with the information idols are willing to share.
you absolutely do not need to know this information
If he has one he hasn’t told the fans about then HE DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW.
Its personal. it’s private.
do not be a sasaeng and try to get into their offstage, offcamera, PERSONAL PRIVATE LIVES
The only things you ,as a fan need to know, is what information the idols themselves provide to you. That is all they want you to know. Therefore you do not need to be trying to know more.

These aren’t the only two comments like this… Many ARMY expressed their displeasure, whether through comments or upvoting comments that already shared their sentiment.
BTS are fortunate to have a fan base who protects them and considers their thoughts and feelings as people, not just idols.
