Did He Or Didn't He? G-Dragon Celebrates 3 Million Followers On Instagram, But Has 2.9 Million Followers

G-Dragon has 3 million followers on Instagram!

Or at least, that's how many he had earlier in the day on June 18 when the Big Bang leader and solo artist posted a screenshot of his Instagram account. The image clearly shows that he had 3 million followers, but later in the day fans started to notice that the actual count was around 9.5 million. 

The idol captioned the picture with a thank you message to all of his fans: "Thank you followers.  #3MFollowing"

It seems unlikely that 500,000 fans un-followed the rapper in less than twenty-four hours, so it's a bit unclear what's going on. It may be a bug, or Instagram merely rounded up the amount of fans that G-Dragon has. 

G-Dragon is one of the most followed K-Pop idols on Instagram. Almost a year to the day, G-Dragon was the first idol to have over one million followers. Since then, other idols have caught up with one million followers, while G-Dragon still is ahead of most of the idols with multiple millions of followers.

The artist is a prolific Instagram user, posting pictures of his life as an idol. G-Dragon also posts pictures relating to his moods, letting followers know how their favorite idol is feeling.

While several idols have over one million followers, only a handful of Korean idols have more than two million followers. Another idol with over 2.5 million followers on Instagram is Girls' Generation's leader Taeyeon.

Instagram has become more and more popular among K-Pop idols in the past few months, with more and more idols joining the social media site. Several of EXO's members recently created accounts, causing a frenzy among fans; several of the EXO members already have over one million followers.
