All BLACKPINK Members Surpass 40 Million Instagram Followers

On Apr. 29, a post on an online community forum noted that all the members of BLACKPINK — Jisoo, Jennie. Rosé, and Lisa — had surpassed the 40 million follower mark on Instagram. Notably, Rosé, who had just 39 million followers the week prior, had reached 40 million followers in just a week's time.

As of the time of writing, Lisa has 51.5 million followers, Jennie 44.3 million followers, Rosé has 40.1 million followers, and Jisoo has 40 million followers on their personal Instagram accounts. The official BLACKPINK account has 37.3 million followers.

As of Apr. 2021, Lisa is the first and only K-pop idol to surpass 50 million Instagram followers. She is the most-followed K-pop idol on the social media platform. The Thai idol is known for making waves on the platform. Back in 2020, when she announced on Instagram that she was the new Global Ambassador for MAC Cosmetics, her post received more than 5.6 million likes and 74,000 comments.

Jennie is also well-loved on the platform. The idol, who is known for her brand recognition and marketing power, was awarded the "Most Loved Account of 2018" by Instagram in South Korea. The award was given to her based on the number of views and likes Jennie received on her Instagram Stories and posts that year.

Rosé is among the top ten most-followed Korean individual accounts. The sudden boost in followers is most likely due to the success of her solo debut album "-R-" and her title track "On The Ground."

Rosé has appeared in numerous interviews, such as with Vogue and Billboard, and has even appeared in multiple talk shows, such as "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

Jisoo is also among the top ten most followed K-pop idols on Instagram. The idol has gone viral on the platform before. Back in Jun. 2020, Jisoo's make-up look for the "How You Like That" teasers went viral. Celebrities and influencers from Vietnam, Thailand, China, and South Korea shared photos of them re-creating her two-bow hairstyle and make-up, which Jisoo crafted herself. The look trended on Instagram, with the hashtag #JisooMakeup being among the most popular hashtags on the platform at the time. Jisoo's "dot style" was a massive hit on the platform!

How Did Korean Netizens React to BLACKPINK Members Surpassing 40 Million Instagram Followers?

Netizens were immensely impressed with BLACKPINK, with people noting that it further proves how the girl group is the biggest in the world. Some have even joked that BLACKPINK can form their own country with a large population with just their follower count! Others also noted how cool it is that they have so many followers, yet none of the members are following anyone.

Congratulations to Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa for surpassing 40 million Instagram followers!
