At that time, G-DRAGON of another K-pop boy group BIGBANG ranked #1 out of all Korean stars, topping the list for the fifth year in a row. For the last five years, no other Korean stars could beat the number of G-DRAGON's followers.

However, in less than a week after the announcement by Instagram Korea, CHANYEOL managed to take over G-DRAGON's spot. As of this morning, CHANYEOL has 16,166,921 followers while G-DRAGON has 16,159,752.

Many are curious to know whether if CHANYEOL will continue to stay on the top of the list or G-DRAGON will flip it around again. (Lee Narin, Credit= 'real__pcy' 'xxxibgdrgn' Instagram)
