Big Bang singer and solo artist Taeyang (Dong Youngbae) now has more than 4 million Instagram followers.
To put the number into perspective, Taeyang has more Instagram followers than the total population of countries like Panama or Georgia, or the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
The idol was humbled with this recent milestone, posting a screenshot of his 4 million followers count as well as a message of "welcomes you! #4m."

Fans gave an outpouring of congratulations at Taeyang's social media achievement, saying: "Happy 4 million followers," "Congratulations oppa. Proud of you," and "Support u forever!"
Taeyang is the second-most followed Big Bang member out of the four which have active accounts on the popular image-sharing platform.
Taeyang is ahead of T.O.P and Seungri, who have 3.7 million and 3.5 million followers, respectively, but still far from catching up to the boy group's leader G-Dragon who boasts of 7.5 million followers.
Another fun fact is that out of the four Big Bang members on Instagram, Taeyang is only the third-most active with 734 posts compared to the T.O.P's 914 posts and G-Dragon's 1,236 posts. Seungri is the least active on Instagram with only 646 posts to-date.
Big Bang's fifth member Daesung has not created his personal official Instagram account.
