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 and becoming 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, and it has remained on that list for 393 consecutive days—over a year after its release.
In total, Jimin’s streams in the US have surpassed 550 million, the highest figure for any K‑pop act, solo or group. This achievement reinforces Jimin’s position as one of the strongest K‑pop names on Spotify US. Fans and netizens praised his “unmatched” impact, calling him a “global star” and, in some comments, the “King of K‑pop.”
In related news, Jimin’s agency, Big Hit Music, confirmed that the singer was previously in a relationship with actress Song Da‑eun. The agency issued a statement saying Jimin and Song were romantically involved “several years ago” but have since gone their separate ways, aiming to cut through ongoing gossip and misleading reports about the idol’s private matters. This marks the first time Big Hit Music has responded to dating rumors about a BTS member.
The confirmation comes as Jimin continues to break records and achieve milestones in the music industry, solidifying his status as a leading figure in K‑pop.
