Kang Daniel only created his Instagram account yesterday, yet already he is breaking records.
The Wanna One idol became the fastest person to reach 1 million followers on Instagram after opening an individual account on 2 January.
The 22-year-old managed to rack up 1 million followers in just 11 hours, beating the previous record of 12 hours set by Pope Francis on 19 March, 2016.
Impressive.
A day after creating his account, @ThisIsDaniel_K, Kang Daniel has 1.2 million followers, and thats without being verified.
Instead of a picture of himself as a profile pic, Daniel chose to upload a photo of his cat, and the latest video of his pet, with the caption: Just give me human #my #kitty has been viewed nearly 600,000 times in two hours.

Kang Daniels first upload was a selfie, greeting his followers, while he later wished his fans happy new year with a selfie from an airplane.
He has also shared a photo of himself after receiving an award at the MBC Entertainment Awards last year.
Kang Daniels Instagram account is preparation for his solo career, after Wanna Ones contract came to an end on 31 December.
The idol is signed to the same agency as Yoon Ji-sung, although no details about his impending solo career have been released.
The first member of the 11-man group to release solo music will be Yoo Ji-sung, whose debut album will be released on 20 February before he enlists in the military.
