On Christmas Eve, BTS's Jimin deleted all 100+ of his Instagram posts. He explained on Weverse it was for a 'fresh start' before uploading over 20 new photos that hit 1 million likes in an hour.
Jimin's Instagram feed is gone. In a move that surprised fans on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025, Jimin of BTS wiped his entire Instagram account, deleting every single post. The initial shock among the ARMY fanbase didn't last long, however, as he quickly returned to announce a 'fresh start' with over 20 new photos.
A Christmas Eve Reset
Since launching his personal Instagram account with his fellow members in December 2021, Jimin had shared over 100 posts, ranging from selfies and behind-the-scenes content to photos with his bandmates. The sudden disappearance of this entire archive initially alarmed many fans, who questioned the reason behind the abrupt action.
The Explanation: "I Wanted to Start Fresh"
Fortunately, Jimin didn't leave fans wondering for long. He took to the fan community platform Weverse to explain his decision. He shared that he finally managed to log into Instagram after changing his password a whopping eight times and decided he wanted to try starting over with a clean slate.
A Million Likes in an Hour
While some fans may miss his past posts, the disappointment was short-lived. Shortly after clearing his feed, Jimin treated ARMYs to more than 20 new photos spread across three posts. The new content included a sweet snapshot with fellow member Jungkook and cute Polaroids. Within just one hour, all three posts surpassed 1 million likes, proving the unexpected move had no negative impact on his massive social media popularity.
