Considerations for "Fame"
While Instagram followers provide a concrete metric, fame can also be judged based on:
- Global Brand Recognition: Some celebrities may have wider recognition outside of social media.
- Cultural Impact: Influence within South Korea and internationally.
- Commercial Success: Revenue generated through endorsements, music sales, etc.
- Awards and Accolades: Recognition within the entertainment industry.
Therefore, while Jennie leads on Instagram, other celebrities might be considered "most famous" based on different criteria. It is also important to acknowledge V of BTS as the most followed male celebrity on Instagram.
