BTS (BTS) member V (V, Kim Tae-hyung Taehyung) has surpassed 75 million followers on Instagram. This marks the first such record for a male solo artist in K-pop.

On the 6th (local time), V exceeded 75 million followers on his official Instagram account @thv. This comes approximately six months after he reached 70 million followers in January, representing an additional increase of 5 million and a growth rate of 7.14%. He is also the sixth male musician worldwide to reach 75 million followers. @BTSVChartData stated, "V is the first and only K-pop male artist to achieve this record, reaching this milestone faster than any other in K-pop history."

V's growth on Instagram has been exceptional from the start. After creating his account on December 6, 2021, he reached 10 million followers in just 4 hours and 52 minutes, earning a spot in the Guinness World Records. According to social media analytics firm HypeAuditor, V ranks second globally among Instagram influential influencers and holds the top position in TikTok's global influence rankings. He also maintains the number one spot for Google search volume among Asian stars.

V's account has reached 75 million followers with only around 150 posts, drawing significant attention. The content includes Polaroid photos taken at museums, daily life moments with friends, and emotional travel photographs. It is widely regarded as casual yet artistic content that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide.

Fan reactions were explosive. X (Twitter) user @layovermoods expressed surprise, writing "75 million???", while @BTSVChartData cheered, "Congratulations, Taehyung." @dilfhyungs predicted, "At this rate, 80 million will be reached soon." @taehyunglouvre_ added, "If this pace continues, V's personal account will surpass the official BTS account (77 million) by 2027." Fan clubs from the United States, Singapore, and other countries worldwide flooded in with congratulatory messages, praising him not just for popularity but as an influence and artist. One American fan remarked, "Only V can attract millions of reactions to a single Polaroid photo or a travel snapshot."

Even while actively participating in BTS's Arirang World Tour, V continues to see steady growth in his follower count. Amidst the grueling schedule of 88 performances across 34 cities, his global influence has only grown stronger. The official BTS account currently has 77 million followers, leading to predictions that V's personal account will soon surpass it.

V's global influence has once again been proven by numbers, ranking as the top Korean celebrity on Wikipedia page views in 2024 and seventh globally in male pop star search volume (following Michael Jackson, Eminem, Kanye West, Drake, Justin Bieber, and Kendrick Lamar).
