K-pop sensation V of BTS has achieved a monumental milestone, accumulating an astounding 75 million followers on his official Instagram account as of Tuesday. This makes him the first Korean male celebrity to reach such a colossal following, solidifying his global appeal.
Globally, the acclaimed idol currently holds the impressive rank of second-most followed male pop star, trailing only behind international superstar Justin Bieber.
V launched his personal Instagram account in December 2021, concurrently with all other members of the globally renowned group BTS. His rapid ascent to social media dominance was evident from the start, breaking records by garnering 1 million followers in a mere 43 minutes and an astonishing 10 million in less than five hours. Both unparalleled feats were officially recognized by Guinness World Records, distinctions he proudly continues to hold.
Further showcasing his significant influence, V recently made headlines last month by attending Celine’s spring/summer 2027 menswear show in Paris during the European leg of the septet’s “Arirang” tour. His presence ignited approximately 22 million social media interactions within 24 hours, demonstrating his powerful impact on fashion and digital platforms.
The acclaimed artist is scheduled to return to the French capital next week. This visit coincides with BTS’s final performance in the region before the group embarks on the North American segment of their highly anticipated tour.
