BTS Member Jimin Achieves Milestone on Spotify US Chart
K-media Star News reported that BTS member Jimin’s second solo album, MUSE, has now charted on the Spotify US Top Albums list for 50 weeks, making it the first K-pop solo release to achieve this milestone. The album rose to number 173 on August 28, moving up 12 spots from the previous week. The lead track “Who” has driven much of the success, collecting 395.94 million filtered plays, making it the most-streamed K-pop entry on the US chart.
“Who” also made history as the only K-pop solo track to top the Spotify US Daily Top Songs chart without an international feature. It has now stayed on that list for 393 consecutive days, holding steady more than a year after its release. In total, Jimin’s streams in the US have crossed 550 million, the highest for any K-pop act, whether solo or group.
This achievement reinforces Jimin’s position as one of the strongest K-pop names on Spotify US. Fans and netizens have reacted to the milestone, praising Jimin’s “unmatched” impact and calling him a “global star.” Many have congratulated the BTS singer on his achievement, with some hailing him as the “King of K-pop.”
In related news, Jimin’s agency, Big Hit Music, recently confirmed that the singer was in a past relationship with actress Song Da-eun. The agency issued a statement addressing the matter, stating that Jimin and Song Da-eun were romantically involved “several years ago” but have since gone their separate ways. The statement was released to cut through ongoing gossip and misleading reports about the idol’s private matters.
The confirmation of Jimin’s past relationship with Song Da-eun marks the first time Big Hit Music has responded to dating rumors about a BTS member. The news comes as Jimin continues to break records and achieve milestones in the music industry, solidifying his position as a leading figure in K-pop.
