Bog offer insight into how quickly accounts can gain followers, highlighting some incredibly fast milestones.

  • The current record holder for the fastest time to reach 1 million followers on Instagram is Kim Tae-hyung (V of BTS), achieving this feat in a mere 43 minutes. This impressive record was set in 2021 when all BTS members simultaneously joined the platform, demonstrating the immense power of their global fanbase.

The sources also list several other celebrities who rapidly gained a large following:

  • Angelina Jolie reached 1 million followers in 59 minutes, while Thalapathy Vijay became the fastest in India to hit this milestone, taking 99 minutes.
  • Moon Tae-il achieved 1 million followers in 105 minutes, and Rupert Grint reached the same number in 241 minutes.

While these figures are from previous years, they illustrate the potential for rapid follower growth, particularly for individuals with existing fame or a large, dedicated fanbase. It’s entirely possible that new records were set in 2024, but this information would need to be verified through sources specifically covering Instagram statistics for that year.
