how did BTS break Instagram records?

BTS members opened their Instagram accounts just recently. this is the first time they have their individual accounts as their official accounts on Twitter and TikTok is one for the whole group.

Kim Taehyung managed to harvest over 30 million followers in less than 27 days making him the fastest Asian star to gain this number in such a short time; which took the most popular member in Blackpink Lisa nearly two years to reach for instance.

BTS has already broken its fair share of Guinness World Records as a group, but member V now has his own individual records to add to his impressive list of achievements. On Monday (Dec. 13), Guinness World Records announced that V broke two social media records for being the fastest to reach both one and 10 million followers on Instagram.

V — in addition to the other six members of BTS — debuted his Instagram account on Dec. 6. His account, @thv, racked up one million followers after 43 minutes of being live. The record-breaking streak continued as fans added V, resulting in him amassing 10 million followers in just 4 hours and 52 minutes. V, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, and Jungkook all now have more than 20 million followers on Instagram.

Taehyung's Instagram followers surpass the other members by nearly 3 million followers; because he has fans outside the fandom, some people recognize him as the most handsome man In the world or the king of K-pop. Taehyung is on news sites headlines a lot, he has managed to establish a wide fan base through the years

It is essential to mention that k-pop groups have usually solo stans who are only fans of one member and Taehyung got a lot of them; Taehyung has an angelic voice he is a good actor and songwriter but we can’t deny that in social media looks is the key factor.

Some people were annoyed that Instagram doesn't notify uses when BtS members post, but it is not provided by Instagram ever… I don’t think they are going to do it; why?

because when users are not notified they are constantly checking Instagram to see updates. My Instagram account was abandoned for a year because of TikTok, and I only used it again because BTS got Instagram accounts.

We’ve all heard that Instagram was struggling with its popularity among social platform users, but guess what I don't think the BTS Instagram account was opened just now randomly!

Instagram is back in the picture now more than ever; Taehyung and Jungkook Instagram account and posts are breaking records, Suga literary got more than 2 million likes on a red square picture!

this is a marketing policy; each social platform wants to keep users for the longest hours on it; so Instagram will not notify you so you keep checking constantly!

The Number of monthly active Instagram users from January 2013 to December 2021(in millions) have increased

Instagram’s user base will still be about half the size of Facebook’s globally; in 2020, Facebook will have 1.90 billion users. But in Japan, South Korea, and Russia, Instagram will actually have more users than Facebook.

Instagram will also be more popular than Facebook among US teens and young adults and is now closing the gap in the 25-to-34

The photo that received 15.9 million ‘likes’ is a post with V’s photos side by side between the photos of the cast of the James Corden Show, showing Timothée Hal Chalamet and Billie Eilish.

BTS V has been breaking various world records since releasing his Instagram account. He was officially certified by Guinness World Records on December 13 by breaking the world record of 1 million followers in 43 minutes, the shortest time, and 10 million followers in 4 hours and 52 minutes.

According to Guinness, the world record holder for the fastest to reach one million followers on Instagram frequently changes as more celebrities join the app. Taeil Moon of K-pop group NCT earned the record earlier in the year, while Rupert Grint and Jennifer Aniston were previous record holders.
