Context by Compass

The claims made in the text are that BTS has over 60 million Twitter followers, while BLACKPINK and TWICE have over 50 million followers on various social media platforms. As of January 2024, BTS had approximately 48.6 million followers on Twitter, which is significantly less than the claimed 60 million Statista. BLACKPINK's Lisa, the most followed K-pop artist on Instagram, had around 100.2 million followers as of January 2024 Statista. TWICE's official Instagram account had around 29.8 million followers as of July 2024 Instrack. Therefore, the claim about BTS's Twitter followers is exaggerated, while the claims about BLACKPINK and TWICE's social media followers are generally accurate but lack specificity regarding the platforms.
