'No. 1 in influence' BTS Jimin ranks first among K-pop artists in Instagram engagement

BTS's Jimin ranked first among K-pop artists in the latest engagement chart by global influencer marketing platform HypeAuditor.

Jimin's engagement figure was recorded at 7.4 million. HypeAuditor's engagement metric reflects not only likes but also actual user interactions surrounding content, including comments, shares, and reposts. It is an indicator of how actively users responded, beyond the scale of content exposure.

Jimin currently has more than 59.95 million Instagram followers, with an engagement rate of 13.98%. He previously ranked fourth globally in HypeAuditor's published “Global Instagram Influencer Rankings,” making him the only Korean influencer to place in the top five.

As actual content responses and engagement, along with follower count, are used as indicators of influence in the global influencer market, Jimin was recorded as an example of someone who posted top-tier figures in both follower count and engagement metrics.
