No.1 SNS star in Korea revealed, Top 30 most followed Korean celebrity on Instagram 

The number of followers a celebrity has often correlates with their popularity. Therefore, attention is paid to the most followed Korean celebs. 

In the current digital age, the number of followers are often considered the popularity metric for celebrities. Nowadays, the expression “celebrity with 10 million followers” is much more relevant than”’popular celebrity”.

Then, who is the celebrity with the most Instagram followers in Korea? Nox Influencer, a data analysis and statistics service site, recently revealed a ranking for stars with Korean nationality, who are active in Korea.
