V Opens TikTok Account: Jungkook’s Follows Reveal Debut

BTS member V launched an official TikTok account on March 13, 2026, rapidly gaining a massive following and sparking excitement among fans. The account, under the username @tete_kimv, amassed over 1 million followers within hours of its creation and reached 10 million followers by March 32, 2026, making it the fastest account belonging to a South Korean celebrity to achieve that milestone.

The launch was subtly foreshadowed by fellow BTS member Jungkook, who, a day prior, unfollowed nearly all accounts on his own TikTok profile, leaving only J-Hope and the official BTS account followed. Fans quickly noticed the new account appearing in Jungkook’s following list and identified it as belonging to V.

As reported by Sportskeeda and GMA Network, J-Hope was also among the first to follow V’s new account, further fueling fan speculation and excitement. This coordinated activity among the BTS members contributed to the immediate surge in followers for V’s TikTok presence.

The rapid growth of V’s TikTok account highlights the immense popularity of BTS and its members on social media. As of March 14, 2026, the account had already garnered around 2.1 million followers, according to GMA Network.

Fans have expressed anticipation for potential TikTok dance challenges, referencing a previous interview with GQ where V and Jungkook indicated their willingness to participate in one if suggested by fans. Social media is already abuzz with predictions of upcoming dance challenges, with fans declaring themselves “completely ready.”

With V’s addition, three members of BTS now have personal TikTok accounts: J-Hope, Jungkook, and V. This expansion of the group’s presence on the platform comes as they prepare to release their fifth full-length album, “ARIRANG,” on March 20, 2026.

The release of “ARIRANG” is accompanied by a city-wide comeback celebration in Seoul, dubbed “BTS The City Arirang Seoul,” which is expected to expand to other cities globally. The group will also perform at Gwanghwamun in Seoul on March 21, 2026, with the performance being streamed on Netflix.

The launch of V’s TikTok account has been met with enthusiastic reactions from fans, with many expressing excitement about the potential for new content and engagement with the artist on the platform. One fan, @i_am_AnkitaD, jokingly remarked, “I discovered V’s TikTok through Jungkook, and through Taehyung I found Jungkook’s Instagram—how does this even happen?” Another fan, @heyFeera, commented, “Thanks to Hobi and JK for ‘leaking’ Taehyung’s account.”

The speed at which V reached 10 million followers—just 19 days after launching the account—has earned him recognition as the fastest South Korean celebrity to achieve this milestone, according to Star News. This achievement underscores the significant influence and dedicated fanbase of BTS and its members within the K-pop landscape and beyond.
