They follow each other on Instagram. Jungkook gained attention for his witty username. He used the English alphabet but left out the letters “J” and “K,” which are the first letters of his name. 

Suga used “Agustd” as his Instagram ID, which is his other stage name for his own mixtape. 

RM used “rkive,” with the description “just an archive.” 

BTS members are on official vacation after their successful in-person concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. 

“This period of rest will provide the members of BTS who have tirelessly committed themselves to their activities, a chance to get re-inspired and recharge with creative energy. It will also be the first time for them since their debut to spend the holiday season with their families,” said Big Hit Music, their agency.
