BTS (BTS) V achieved 10 million followers on TikTok in the shortest period of time as a Korean entertainer.

V opened a TikTok account on March 13. V's account was opened around 5 p.m. that day when member Jungkook organized all his followers and followed only three accounts. The accounts that Jungkook followed were members J-Hope, BTS's official TikTok, and 'tete_kimv'. J-Hope also followed the "tete_kimv" account, and fans were convinced that V's TikTok was opened.

As soon as V's TikTok account became known, it exceeded 1 million followers on March 13, and 19 days after its opening, it exceeded 10 million followers on April 1, proving its powerful global influence and presence. This is the shortest record for an individual Korean celebrity.

V released his first video after opening his TikTok account on March 24. In the video, V performed a dance to Bxndz's "Bunny Girl Hoodtrap." The video recorded 1 million views within 25 minutes of its release, and drew an explosive response with 20 million views and 6.73 million "likes" in 12 hours. Official TikTok accounts such as Walmart, Deezer, Duolingo Brazil, and Watpad, as well as MLB's official accounts in the U.S., drew attention by enthusiastically responding to the first video posted by V.

V wrote on TikTok, 'Ijustwannadive #TikTokDifficult..He posted a second video with the words 'It's difficult'.

In the video, V stood on a chair while singing "Swim, Swim" in the room and performed a diving performance in which he flew toward the camera to the lyrics "I just wanna give" of "SWIM." The Swim Challenge video of fans copying V's dive is viral, gaining huge popularity on TikTok.

V said he was still young (TikTok) and expressed difficulties with TikTok's function, but the video shot TikTok emotion properly and caused a big repercussion. V chose "Original Sound - Kim Taehyung," an audio he recorded himself, as the background music, not the official sound source of "SWIM," and fans are also imitating it.

In a conversation with fans, V said, "I suddenly wanted to try TikTok," but confessed that it was difficult because he did not know the function yet. Fans who saw V's natural sense and talent on TikTok are looking forward to the next video.
