Ever since BTS has their own Instagram account, BTS members have always received attention from fans and non-fans about their content on the platform. However, there are also many incidents that occur on Instagram that cause members to get into a lot of trouble.

As one of the most popular artists at the moment, the members' Instagram accounts are also the most closely watched. Any movement on Instagram can become news in many different ways, so recently to avoid trouble, the team implemented a new feature.

This feature is seen as a way to protect ARMY from unwanted influences:

By the time BTS members started owning personal Instagrams, they had become the center of attention after more than 10 years of operation. The opening of Instagram accounts has made it easier for members to interact with ARMYs and share interesting things in their surroundings.

ARMYs have loved all the new content they receive from the members. From RM's updates when he visits art galleries to SUGA's photos from his "mysterious" photo shoot.

Especially the unique photos like V's bare back or the members' exclusive selfies that ARMYs are looking forward to. And of course, with the group's huge influence, BTS is constantly breaking records for their Instagram followers, such as how V became the fastest person in the world to reach the impressive milestone.

However, since opening the Instagram account, BTS has also encountered a number of problems that even Jimin said that at the time he started using this SNS, he was "afraid" to use Instagram for fear that he "may soṃệẗḧing wrong." Typically in the case of V, he is one of the victims when "wrongly pressing" to follow BLACKPINK's Jennie leads to disastrous misunderstandings.

Then, on another occasion, V also αccídєntally followed BIGBANG T.O.P's Instagram account and met with unnecessary criticism because of this. But it's not just those who mistakenly follow BTS that cause harmful misunderstandings, but also those who intentionally follow BTS on Instagram, affecting the group and fans.

For example, some brands or artists began to follow the members and from there, rumors about the collaboration spread. But in fact, there are many people who take advantage of the members' names to attract attention without actually cooperating with them.

Some ARMYs also took the example of when the Grammys watched Jungkook and RM before the awards ceremony started to attract attention and talk about it. It was ARMYs who were expecting and speculating about RM and Jungkook's appearance and even performing at the awards ceremony. But all is not like that.

Therefore, recently, BTS members have updated a new feature on Instagram to prevent this from happening again. Along with blocking comments, BTS are now the only ones who can see all of their followers. This will reduce rumors or help the bad guys achieve their goal of attracting the attention of ARMYs.

And many are also hoping that the next BTS will limit their "follow" lists, hoping the members can then follow any account they want. While some fans point out that this new update makes it harder to predict any future collaborations, it's also the best way to protect BTS and ARMYs:

- omfg only boys can see their followers now damn

- what happens when they start following other artists and hide the "following" section jwjsjksksgbwu

- hope they do that and follow whoever they want

- yess is them following me and hiding their following list

- This is what happens when people actually stalk them for that (like this)…creepy.

- I think they did it bc as soon as we see someone famous following them, we start dreaming of a Collab and it no longer remains a surprise

- Because armys literally are detectives and find out from the followers about collabs and stuff lol

- They're so private and that's really the best thing they've done

- One of the best decisions yet again

- they can have privacy and we can have more surprises cuz ion like how we always predict things and it comes true based on their following I WANNA BE SURPRISED

- this creates more suspense noww
