BTS' V gains 864K Instagram followers, Jungkook earns 200K on TikTok post discharge, fans ‘not surprised' by popularity
Just days after their return from mandatory military service, BTS' V and Jungkook are already proving their unstoppable global influence. While fans were celebrating their long-awaited return, the two idols began making headlines. They dominated social media platforms with overwhelming numbers, despite not releasing any new music or content yet. V becomes most-followed K-pop male idol on Instagram Kim Taehyung, better known by his stage name V, was officially discharged from military service on June 10, 2025. He served as a sergeant in the Special Duty Team (SDT) under the 2nd Corps Military Police in Chuncheon. Just six days later, on June 16, he made history online. According to updated figures, V gained 864,000 new followers on Instagram in a single week, pushing his follower count to 67.7 million. This staggering milestone has crowned him as the most-followed K-pop act on the platform this week. Fans around the world praise V's sustained influence and public appeal even after nearly 18 months out of the spotlight. Jungkook reigns over TikTok and YouTube While Taehyung rules Instagram, fellow BTS member Jungkook is proving to be an undeniable force on other platforms. He doesn't operate a personal Instagram account and only manages one for his dog Bam. Since his discharge on June 11, the golden maknae's popularity has skyrocketed again, particularly on TikTok and YouTube. He gained over 200,000 new followers on TikTok within days of returning to civilian life. As of now, his account boasts an impressive 21.7 million followers. This makes him one of the most-followed Korean solo acts on the platform. But the buzz doesn't stop there. Jungkook's YouTube content has seen a major spike in daily views, reaching over 3.1 million. Netizens and fans alike were quick to note that this number surpasses many active idol groups. Military service recap V enlisted on December 11, 2023, and served his term in one of the most prestigious and physically demanding military units: the SDT. He completed his duties with distinction and left his post as a respected sergeant. Jungkook entered service one day later on December 12, 2023, enlisting alongside fellow member Jimin under the 'companion enlistment program'. The pair served together in the 5th Infantry Division. Now that both members have completed their duties, anticipation is building for what lies ahead. Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, and V are already discharged and SUGA is set to complete his alternative service on June 21. BIGHIT MUSIC has yet to announce specific comeback plans for BTS as a full group. Whether it's individual activities or a long-anticipated OT7 comeback, one thing is certain: BTS is returning to an industry that missed them dearly, and the fans are ready to welcome them back with open arms.

‘Who's your daddy?': actor Pedro Pascal's look-alike wins New York Father's Day contest and a year's worth of burritos
On Father's Day Sunday, the streets of New York's Lower East Side turned into a celebration of doppelgängers as a Pedro Pascal look-alike contest drew a curious and cheering crowd. Fans ultimately crowned Pedro #5 George Gountas, a dad from Greenpoint as the man who most resembled The Last of Us and The Mandalorian star. Gountas walked away with $50 and a year's supply of burritos, courtesy of host Son Del North, a local Mexican restaurant. The event, now going viral on social media, was shared by @jameskleinmann on Instagram. The caption accompanying the video said, 'Who's Your Daddy? Mexican restaurant @sondelnorth celebrated Father's Day with a Pedro Pascal look-alike contest on the streets of the Lower East Side, NYC. And the winner is… Pedro #5! aka George Gountas who won $50 & a year's supply of burritos. While @streamonmax, home of The Last of Us, handed out Who's Your Daddy branded condoms at the event.' A post shared by James Kleinmann (@jameskleinmann) The resemblance stunned viewers online. 'Wait. Is that not just Pedro Pascal?' one Instagram user commented. Another added, 'Hahahaha omg I love this so much. He is definitely the winner for sure!!!' A third wrote, 'Sooo, is he single? Asking for a friend.' One fan even mused, 'I love that Pedro Pascal has made my name popular again and that it's associated with someone so sexy and talented.' George Gountas is a lighting designer for The Daily Show, reports NYPost. His wife, Jenny Gania, shared with The New York Post how the comparisons began, 'It started when Game of Thrones came out the first time — that's when we first heard it,' Gania said. 'Then some kids started noting it, too, so I was like, when we saw this [contest], I was like, 'It's Father's Day. You have to go. It's going to be your Father's Day treat.'' 'It's funny, because he's not on social media at all. But now he's going to be everywhere.' Indeed, Gountas stood out among nearly 30 contestants vying for the top spot. According to Son Del North chef and co-owner Annisha Garcia, the event was also a cheeky response to Pascal's infamous 2023 remark that there was no decent Mexican food in New York: 'I'm, 'So sorry, but there's no Mexican, good Mexican food in New York?'' Garcia said. 'And we were like, 'There is, and we are here.'' Her co-owner, Wim Shih, explained the motivation behind the joyful gathering. 'There's just so much sadness in the world right now, and we wanted to be a bit of sunshine today amidst all that.' The Pedro Pascal look-alike contest is part of a growing global trend. In late 2024, media outlets reported a surge in look-alike competitions across the US, UK, Ireland, and Australia, followed by ones in Brazil and India. The phenomenon was first sparked by a Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in October that year, which the actor himself attended. Since then, fans and organisers have held contests for a wide range of celebrities including Paul Mescal, Jeremy Allen White, Zendaya, BTS's Jungkook, political figure Jack Schlossberg and even fictional characters like Peaky Blinders' Tommy Shelby, besides like Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
