His official account, @thv, achieved the feat with just 150 posts, underscoring his exceptional influence on the platform.
With 70 million followers, V stands as the most-followed male Korean soloist on Instagram and the second most-followed Korean male act overall, after his own group, BTS, whose official account has 77 million followers..
Since BTS members launched their personal Instagram accounts in December 2021, V has consistently dominated the platform, ranking among the most engaged and influential accounts globally.
He previously earned two Guinness World Records for becoming the fastest person to reach 1 million and 10 million Instagram followers, both within hours of joining, and has since maintained that momentum.

According to a post by HYPEBEAST Korea, V also holds the record for the most-liked Instagram post by a Korean in 2025.
The post shared during his military service amassed 17.7 million likes, further highlighting his enduring global popularity despite reduced activity during his 18-month mandatory military enlistment.
This latest milestone reinforces Taehyung’s status not only as a leading artist but as a powerful cultural figure in the digital era.
Congratulations, BTS’s V!
