Although the number of followers on Instagram is not half of BLACKPINK Jennie’s or BTS’s group account, nor is it 1/3 of Lisa’s, Jung Ho Yeon is still the latest to hold this record.

As the accounts with the largest number of followers in Kbiz, it is not surprising that the 3 accounts above once held the record with the highest number of likes on Instagram. However, recently, Jung Ho Yeon, an emerging actress after the great success of Squid Game and only had 18.1 million followers, has risen to be the celebrity with a post that had the highest number of likes on Kbiz Instagram.
