Jungkook launched his Instagram account in December 2021, along with his fellow BTS members. Last year, the “Left and Right” singer set a new record as the fastest person to reach 1 million likes on a post, which took under two minutes. 
In 2021, Jungkook’s fellow member V set two world records with his Instagram account, reaching 1 million followers in 43 minutes and reaching 10 million followers in just under 5 hours.
