K-pop phenomenon BTS has become the first Korean account to have surpassed 20 Million followers on Twitter. On 24 May, the BTS members’ joint Twitter account (@BTS_twt) crossed the coveted 20 million mark. The account continues to be the most followed Korean Twitter account, and has grown from 15 million to 20 million in a little under a year as they reached 15 million on 30 May, 2018.
