It maybe doesn't come as a shock that Big Bang leader G-Dragon has a very popular Instagram account. But the K-Pop rapper has just hit a major milestone - one million followers!

On June 12, G-Dragon posted a screen shot of his achievement with the simple caption, "Wow 1m now."

His followers and fans congratulated him with more than 6 thousand comments and well over 100 thousand 'likes.'

What exactly makes G-Dragon's Instagram account so popular?

For starters, G-Dragon is very popular. He and his group Big Bang have an enormous amount of fans around the world for their unique brand of K-Pop that mixes dance, electronica, hip-hop, and R&B in an entertaining (and sometimes very theatrical) way in their music videos and dynamic live performances.

G-Dragon himself is credited with penning many of the group's songs as well as his own solo works and numerous singles for other members of the YG Entertainment family.

He is quirky, in-your-face, and an all-around nice guy, and his Instagram definitely reflects that.

Every day, G-Dragon updates his followers with scenes from his day, funny pictures, and behind the scenes photos from his tours and projects - another way that he has been able to rack up the long list of followers. GD fans know that each day they can escape into the singer's world and maybe even get a glimpse of some other famous idols along the way.

And as the K-Pop mega star continues to spread his music around the world, he can expect his number of followers to continue to increase.
