“Taehyung is proven again he’s the SNS King”: BTS fans congratulate Singularity singer on surpassing 60 M followers on Instagram 

BTS’ Taehyung, aka V, has unlocked yet another achievement on Instagram. On June 15, the Singularity singer became the fastest K-pop singer to surpass 60 million followers on Instagram. He achieved this incredible feat in a little over a year - within 555 days. The BTS singer launched his personal Instagram account on December 6, 2021, along with the other six BTS members.

At present, BTS’ Taehyung has 81 posts and follows only his other Bangtan members and the group’s official Instagram account. He is also the most followed member of the group, hence this achievement comes as no surprise. In light of this, V has now been crowned as an “Instagram King”.

Several fans took to social media to celebrate this record.
