V BTS Officially Joins TikTok, Gaining Millions of Followers in a Matter of Hours

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Who doesn't know V BTS?

Kim Taehyung, a member of the phenomenal K-Pop idol group BTS, recently created a stir on the social media platform TikTok.

He officially opened his personal account on March 13, 2026, under the username @tete_kimv, sparking immense excitement among global fans.

V's presence on TikTok became a major spotlight after his account was discovered by ARMY, the BTS fanbase, through the activity of another member.

Within hours of its launch, the account was flooded with followers, demonstrating the immense power and influence of this K-Pop star.

In a short time, BTS's V account managed to amass millions of followers, without even uploading a single video.

BTS's V, known by his real name Kim Taehyung, made a big move by opening his personal TikTok account on March 13, 2026.

The account, with the username @tete_kimv, immediately attracted the attention of millions of fans worldwide.

His profile featured the name Kim Taehyung with a purple profile picture and the text "태형" in Korean, though without a bio or any videos initially uploaded.

V's presence on TikTok immediately broke records.

Within hours of its launch, the account had amassed over 434,000 followers.

This number continued to skyrocket, reaching over 1 million followers by the afternoon of the same day.

Within 13 hours, BTS's V's account had surpassed 2 million followers, even without official verification from TikTok or confirmation from his agency.

By the evening of March 14, 2026, approximately 36 hours after his account first became public, his follower count had surpassed 3.3 million, confirming his dominance on the platform.

The most astonishing thing is that all of this happened without V uploading a single video to his account.

The discovery of BTS V's personal TikTok account has a unique story involving other BTS members.

Fans, known as ARMY, managed to find V's account through J-Hope and Jungkook's activity on TikTok.

The first clue appeared on March 12, the day before V's official account was launched.

At that time, Jungkook changed the list of accounts he followed on TikTok, leaving only J-Hope and the official BTS account.

The next day, fans noticed that a new account with the username @tete_kimv was added to Jungkook's followers list.

Shortly afterward, the account @tete_kimv was also seen being followed by J-Hope.

This series of events led ARMY to quickly conclude that the account belonged to V, Kim Taehyung.

With V's joining the platform, he becomes the third BTS member to have a personal TikTok account, following J-Hope, who joined in January 2025, and Jungkook.

V's presence on the platform has sparked much speculation and anticipation among fans.

Previously, in an interview with GQ, V and Jungkook discussed the possibility of doing a TikTok challenge together if requested by fans.

With V's account now active, many believe that a dance collaboration between V, Jungkook, and J-Hope will soon be realized, adding to the excitement for ARMY.

The timing of V's entry on TikTok is also very strategic, coinciding with the release of BTS's fifth studio album, "ARIRANG," which is scheduled for March 20, 2026.
