Ever since K-Pop went global, it has long since taken over the social media sphere, and the tremendous amount of followers on certain K-celebs' Twitter accounts is only one of the signs of the influential 'Hallyu wave.' The Hallyu stars with the greatest number of Twitter followers are Super Junior's Siwon, who has gained over 5 million followers, and Big Bang's G-Dragon, who saw the highest increase in the number of his followers--over 80,000 to be exact--within a month. 

The top ten K-celebs with the greatest number of Twitter followers are as such, in descending order: Siwon, G-Dragon (4.91 million), Donghae (4.81 million), Psy (4.08 million), Yesung (3.39 million), 2PM's Nichkhun (3.33 million), miss A's Suzy (3.29 million), Leeteuk (3.24 million), BoA (3.1 million), and 2NE1's Dara (3.07 million).


It doesn't come much as a surprise that all of the above stars are K-Pop idols from three of the biggest talent management labels in Korea, YG, SM, and JYP. 

G-Dragon, who currently has around 4.91 million followers, is closely vying for first place with Siwon, who recently became the first K-pop star to reach 5 million followers. Meanwhile, Donghae appears he will be the third to hit 5 million as he has 4.81 million followers.
