Idols Open and Close Social Media Accounts

It's hard for me sometimes to keep up with the comings and goings of K-Pop idols on social media. It seems at times that they come and go as they please like the ebb and flow of a tide.

Since my biases are mainly FT Island and CNBlue and sometimes I like to blog about Super Junior, I mainly stick with them. But there's so many more idols out there, trust me. In the past I've blogged about how FT Island bassist and vocalist, Lee Jae Jin, had closed his Twitter account for apparently no reason. Not too long after that, both lead vocalist Lee Hong Ki and Leader and lead guitarist Choi Jong Hoon had both opened up their own Instagram accounts.

Slowly, but surely, idols are reaching out to more of their fans through social media. So it came as a surprise that Heechul (aka Heenim or Hee Dictator) of Super Junior mysteriously closed his own Instagram and Weibo accounts.

But with every closure, two more must open. Hmm, I think I heard about that somewhere? It's like the Hydra myth where you cut off a head and two more grow back. Same concept.

So, following that vein, and of course my biases, FT Island's Lee Jae Jin and Choi Jong Hoon let fans know through their Instagrams that they have opened up Weibo accounts. Follow them both at "JamesJin" (Jae Jin's) and "ChoiJongHoon90" (Jong Hoon's). I definitely liked Jae Jin's stab at an Anglicized name. The name, "James" suits him and is still very close to his original name.

Follow, follow, follow, these two handsome cuties. And don't forget to check out Jong Hun for updates on his new drama, JTBC's "Heroes", where he will play the lead role of Choi Hee Yeol.

I noticed that a lot of you seem to like my posts about FT Island's handsome leader, Choi Jong Hoon. And I can only guess that you all must be fans. So, in case you haven't heard the news yet, he has also joined his band members, Lee Hong Ki and Lee Jae Jin, in opening his own Instagram account in early March.

So much cuties on Instagram now! Their handsome features and crazy antics will definitely amuse you.  He and Hong Ki love to share what they're doing during the day and post videos of their concerts and general silliness.

Instgram and their Twitter accounts seem to be the best way to keep updated on their whereabouts and any updates to their activities. Hop on them!

You can follow him on Instagram @ftgtjhc.

Peace out! Love his aegyo!

FT Island's Lee Hong Ki On Instagram!

In case you have missed the news, Lee Hong Ki, FT Island's charismatic lead singer, opened up his own Instagram account in the past week.

He has known to be really active on his social media accounts and it looks like he finally joined the crowd on Instagram.

His first posts were of a video of his little dog and of him at what looked to be like a spa with a quizzical look on his face.

If you haven't found him yet, go follow him on Instagram @skullhong12!

FT Island's Lee Jaejin is Back!

Late last year, FT Island's bassist, Lee Jaejin, deleted his Twitter account. Since then, fans have been begging him to go back on, but to no avail.

However, he has started his own Instagram account and has begun to actively use it. He began to post photos on September 6th and as of this post, his account has over 30k followers.

So although fans have lost him permanently on Twitter, fans can rejoice in that he's using another social app.

See his posts on his Instagram account, @saico0111.

Welcome back to social media society, Jaejin!!
