BTS member V, also known as Kim Taehyung, has proven his unmatched global influence by creating a massive record on Instagram! The K-pop superstar has become
the fastest person in the world to reach 70 million followers on the platform, setting a benchmark that will be difficult to surpass anytime soon. Despite relatively limited posting, V’s ability to attract and engage millions of fans shows how loyal BTS ARMY is and how big V's star power is.
Kim Taehyung rules over Instagram
V achieved the staggering feat through his official Instagram account @thv, which reached 70 million followers with just 150 posts. This remarkable ratio of followers to content shows his extraordinary pull on social media. With this number, V has officially become the most-followed male Korean soloist on Instagram. He is also the second most-followed Korean male act overall, trailing only behind BTS’ official group account, which currently boasts 77 million followers.
Since BTS members launched their individual Instagram accounts in December 2021, V has consistently dominated the platform. He regularly ranks among the most engaged and influential accounts worldwide, often outperforming global celebrities across industries. His posts routinely attract millions of likes within minutes, reflecting the loyalty and scale of his fanbase.
V previous Instagram records
This is not the first time V has rewritten Instagram record books. He previously secured two Guinness World Records for becoming the fastest person to reach 1 million and 10 million followers, achieving both milestones within hours of joining the platform. Years later, he continues to maintain that momentum effortlessly.
Adding to his list of achievements, a report by HYPEBEAST Korea revealed that V holds the record for the most-liked Instagram post by a Korean in 2025. The post, shared during his military service, garnered an astonishing 17.7 million likes. This achievement is particularly notable given his reduced public activity during his 18-month mandatory enlistment.
Looks like V's crazy Instagram records will not be broken for the longest time!
