The Official Award Of A Certificate

With over 39 billion Spotify streams and a YouTube channel boasting 77 million subscribers, BTS’s Instagram supremacy mirrored their broader digital footprint. Unlike BLACKPINK, whose individual members topped idol rankings, BTS leveraged their collective account to outpace all group competitors, including TWICE (17.8 million) and SEVENTEEN (14.5 million). The K-Pop Records Library honored BTS with a certificate, recognizing their unmatched social media legacy as of March 2025.

BTS, the global K-pop sensation, clinched the title of the most followed K-pop group on Instagram, a record officially celebrated by the K-Pop Records Library on March 27, 2025. Their official account, @bts
.bighitofficial, swelled to over 75.4 million followers by that date, cementing their dominance among K-pop acts on the platform.
Formed by HYBE (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) in 2013, BTS comprising Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook launched their Instagram presence in December 2015. Their rise was meteoric. By April 2022, they surpassed BLACKPINK’s 46.4 million followers with 62.5 million of their own, a gap that widened further by 2025 as BLACKPINK reached 57.5 million. The septet’s account became a hub for ARMY, their devoted fandom, sharing glimpses of milestones like their 2022 anthology album Proof (selling 2.75 million copies) and updates during their mandatory military service, including Jin’s discharge in June 2024. Posts on X in early 2025 buzzed with excitement over content like “Run Jin” clips, amplifying their reach.
