BTS V Breaks Two Guinness World Records With Instagram Followers

South Korean boyband BTS recently treated ARMY to a sweet surprise when they unveiled their personal Instagram accounts. While it only took the members a few hours to cross millions of followers on the platform, now it’s V aka Kim Taehyung who has smashed two new world record with his current followers.

The Guinness World Records revealed V has set two new records – fastest times to reach 1 million and 10 million followers on Instagram. The BTS singer registered 1 million followers on his Instagram account within 43 minutes and surpassed 10 million followers in 4 hours and 52 minutes.

The record was previously held by NCT’s Taeil, Harry Potter star Rupert Grint and Friends alum Jennifer Aniston.

V and the other members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, and Jungkook — all have more than 20 million followers on the photo sharing app.

Prior to the launch of the Instagram accounts, none of the members had individual public social media accounts and they were most active on their shared Twitter account that has 42.2 million followers.

The opening of the new public accounts came hours after it was announced that the group that debuted in 2013 would be taking their second official vacation over the holiday period. Since then, some of the members have documented their holidays — RM has regularly shared about his visits to art galleries in the US, while J-Hope and V have posted images from their holiday together in Hawaii (they and Jin, Jimin and Jungkook are in quarantine in Korea after recently returning home) — while others have been quiet on the app.

However, it’s likely that after their break fans can expect new music and new concerts that the boys have been teasing.
