The boys of BTS (방탄소년단) may be relatively new to Instagram (all of them officially launched their personal accounts back in December), but that hasn’t stopped them from taking the Insta-world by storm! Social media auditor SPEAKJR recently revealed the number of likes, engagements as well as the estimated income of the BTS members per sponsored post on their respective Instagram accounts.
For those who don’t know, SPEAKRJ is a social media auditor that analyses, evaluates and also keeps track of the growth of people on social media. That being said, only the results for Jungkook, Suga, Jin, V, Jimin and J-hope were revealed. As per KpopStarz, the earnings, likes, and engagements of another member RM are difficult to determine, as he hides the number of likes on his Instagram account.
Without further ado, check out the full list here:
