SEOUL – BTS’s very own Jimin continues to etch his name into K-Pop history, as his captivating solo track “Who” has officially soared past an astounding 2.5 billion streams on Spotify. This monumental achievement, confirmed by his agency BigHit Music on Saturday, August 1st, solidifies “Who” as his most-streamed track to date.
Released just last month in July 2024, “Who” serves as the dynamic lead single from Jimin’s highly anticipated second solo album, “Muse.” The song quickly captured the hearts and ears of listeners worldwide, reaching this incredible milestone on Thursday.
Fusing intricate hip-hop beats with smooth R&B melodies, “Who” offers a deeply resonant lyrical journey. The track delves into themes of longing and the poignant uncertainty of searching for a connection with someone the narrator has yet to meet, a narrative that has clearly struck a chord with a global audience.
Beyond its streaming dominance, “Who” also made a significant impact on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart. It debuted impressively at No. 14, swiftly climbing to a peak position of No. 12 the following week. Its enduring popularity was further underscored by an impressive run of 33 weeks spent on the chart, showcasing its widespread appeal and sustained engagement. This dual success on both streaming platforms and major international charts firmly establishes “Who” as a global hit and a testament to Jimin’s unparalleled artistry and influence as a solo powerhouse.
