The BTS fandom was buzzing with excitement due to the Fashion Week schedule. It started with Jungkook attending New York Fashion Week in mid-September, followed by Jin at Gucci’s Milan event on September 23. Today, RM departed for the city to attend the Bottega Veneta show.

Dressed in a bright beige jacket and black sunglasses, RM looked stylish, youthful, and like a dynamic CEO. His newly bleached hair made the BTS leader stand out even more. This bold hair transformation after a long time heightened fans’ curiosity about the “unique” look he might showcase at the event.

While most fans were enjoying RM’s updates and schedule, some noticed a major change on his Instagram account. RM deleted 61 posts from his feed. He previously had 187 posts, and now only 126 remain.

Although this isn’t entirely new—RM has done similar clean-ups in the past, jokingly called the “annual purification” by fans—this move still surprised and saddened many. The deleted posts included landscapes, portraits of RM, and everyday moments with friends.

Fans consider RM’s Instagram a mini art museum, reflecting his perspective and life experiences. Every post is deeply cherished, so losing over 60 photos (in addition to past deletions) left a noticeable gap in that space.

Many fans began speculating whether this was random or a hint at something big. K-pop idols often make changes to their social media to signal comebacks, album releases, or events, so ARMYs are closely watching this move by RM.

Some suggested that influenced by his Virgo traits, RM might simply be reviewing posts he feels aren’t appropriate and reorganizing them. Still, many fans opposed this, saying these posts are loved worldwide and shouldn’t be archived. Fans pleaded with him to stop reorganizing.

On X (formerly Twitter), fans reacted to RM’s “purification”:

• “Looks like he’s living up to his username. But sir, we love them so much, please let them stay.”
• “Here he goes again. The influence of Virgo on him is too strong. God Namjoon can’t stand messiness.”
• “The annual cleaning has started… but it’s a bit late in the year! Sir, you get only one archiving ticket per year, use it wisely and don’t disturb ARMY’s favorite art gallery!”
• “I was stalking him recently but didn’t finish seeing all his posts. I’m very upset (with myself) lol.”
• “I’m scared, everyone is changing IG bios, profile pics, dyeing hair, changing hairstyles — are they prepping for a comeback? OMG.”
• “Wow! He gave his account a complete makeover.”
• “Since he’s done this many times before, it’s not too surprising, but there’s still doubt whether he’s just cleaning up or preparing something.”
• “Namjoon updates his social media frequently, so every move is worth noting.”
• “The annual purge seems to have begun. One year, he deleted many photos in multiple rounds. It’s best to save all posts now before he continues.”
