Jimin’s recent success transcends the Hot 100, making significant strides on other Billboard charts.
Jimin, the renowned member of BTS, is currently fulfilling his mandatory military duties in South Korea. Despite his enlistment, he continues to make waves in the music industry, recently achieving remarkable feats with his latest track, “Who.” Announced by Billboard on August 13, the single has successfully secured its place on the Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks, now positioned at No. 24 after initiating its journey at No. 14.
According to reports from Soompi, “Who” has made history as the first track by a K-pop solo artist to maintain a spot in the top 25 of the Hot 100 during its initial three weeks.
In addition to its performance on the Hot 100, “Who” is generating impressive results across various charts. It holds the No. 2 rank on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart, sits at No. 5 on the Global 200, and stands at No. 16 on the Digital Song Sales chart, following a strong two-week lead on each of those charts. The single has also claimed the No. 20 spot on the Streaming Songs chart.
The song “Who” is part of Jimin’s second studio album, titled *MUSE*, released under HBYE LABELS. The accompanying music video, which runs three minutes, is characterized by a vibrant, retro style that showcases Jimin performing against a backdrop of neon streets illuminated by playful colors and intriguing visuals, including a car engulfed in flames and a vintage television set ablaze.
*MUSE* debuted on July 19 and features a total of seven tracks, starting with the intro “Rebirth.” The album includes other notable songs such as “Interlude: Showtime,” “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” with rapper Loco, “Slow Dance” featuring Sofia Carson, along with “Be Mine,” “Who,” and “Closer Than This,” the latter having made its entrance into the music scene in December.
Jimin’s military service commenced on December 12, 2023, with his expected discharge slated for June 2025.
