BTS’s Jung Kook Broke TikTok Record for Most TikTok Hashtag Views Without Having an Account

“It is just one day to celebrate Jeon Jungkook’s birthday and we are loving our little baby that has grown up so much. He joined BTS when he was still in middle school and has grown in the lime light through his pre-teen and teen years and even into young adult hood. Jungkook is known as the King of trends, whether its on twitter, Instagram or TikTok.

In 2020, Jungkook, the golden maknae of BTS, made headlines by breaking a significant record on TikTok, despite not even having an official account on the platform. The record was for the most TikTok hashtag views, a feat that highlighted his massive global popularity and the incredible impact of BTS’s music, even outside their direct social media presence. The hashtag #jungkook quickly became a viral sensation, gaining an astronomical number of views, reaching over 15.6 billion views by August 2020, making it the most viewed individual hashtag on TikTok at that time. This was especially impressive considering Jungkook had never posted a single video himself, relying solely on the fan-driven content that celebrated his talents, charm, and influence.

The viral success of the #jungkook hashtag wasn’t just a fluke but a reflection of his ability to inspire creativity and admiration from fans worldwide. Even without actively participating in the platform, Jungkook became a central figure on TikTok as fans, known as ARMY, flooded the app with their own videos using his name. These included everything from dance covers of BTS’s songs to heartfelt tributes, all of which contributed to the record-breaking views. The fact that Jungkook achieved this feat without having a TikTok account of his own was a testament to the organic and widespread reach of BTS’s music and Jungkook’s magnetic presence as an artist. This milestone reinforced how the BTS fandom’s passion and creativity could turn a simple hashtag into a cultural phenomenon.

So it is no surprise that Jungkook would break a TikTok record even without having a personal account. BTS have a brand profile on all social media platforms but they tend to share bits and pieces of their lives with us individually some times. On TikTok BTS has 18 million followers and hold the record for the fastest 1 million followers within minutes of opening their TikTok account, and the numbers keep increasing!

Jungkook 22, has amassed over 15.6 billion views on his hashtag on TikTok. He beat Salman Khan an Indian film star who currently has 15.5 billion views on the platform. By the end of June Jungkook’s hashtag had already broken 10 million views and incredibly in just 2 months, it increased to 15.6 billion views and counting. So happy to see our Kookie be so loved by the whole world! Looking forward to your birthday on 1st September as you turn 23 years young. ARMY will always love you, borahe Jungkook
