Cristiano Ronaldo has made a name for himself over the years. The Al Nassr skipper is the most-followed athlete/celebrity on Instagram with over 600 million followers. Despite his massive fan following, it seems like the soccer veteran has fallen behind some big names in a recent metrics reveal. As per a latest report, despite having the most followers, the Portuguese star lacks in a certain metric compared to a few renowned K-pop idols.

The Al Nassr captain is very active on his social media handle. He never misses providing an update surrounding himself to his fans, which has helped him boost his presence on social media. However, if the recent reports are to be believed, not all of CR7’s followers seem to enjoy what he posts on the platform. But how?

K-pop idols overtake Cristiano Ronaldo in metrics

Cristiano Ronaldo has been the undisputed king of Instagram. The Portuguese star has some of the most iconic posts on the platform, gathering massive attention from the fans. However, it seems like his pull is loosening with age. HypeAuditor decided to compile the average number of likes per post for celebrities on the platform. While fans expected Ronaldo to be on top of his social following numbers, the results are shocking.

According to data, BTS idols Taehyung and Jin are at the top of the list, with an average of 9.2 million likes per post. BLACKPINK’s Lisa is placed at third with 7.4 million likes on her posts at an average. Cristiano Ronaldo, following the rise of the K-pop stars, has slipped to fourth position with 7.2 million average likes per post.

While metrics may not help Cristiano’s case when it comes to popularity, Saudi Arabia is doing all it can to capitalize on the player’s presence. The Al Nassr skipper is expected to make an appearance at WWE’s upcoming PLE ‘Crown Jewel’ in Saudi Arabia. Let’s dive deeper.
