BTS' Jimin's latest song, Like Crazy, succeeded in maintaining its position on Billboard's Hot 100 charts for four consecutive weeks on April 25, 2023. This made it the first solo K-pop song to do so in over ten decades after PSY's classic hits Gangnam Style and Gentleman. Needless to say, as soon as fans heard the news, they were ecstatic and took to social media to express their joy.

Earlier last month, Jimin released his first-ever solo album FACE, which had six tracks. The album had Like Crazy as the main track and Set Me Free Pt.2 as the pre-release tracks. Fans loved his solo album and could not stop praising him for the album's meaningful and intriguing lyrics.

As soon as the news broke about the latest feat achieved by the idol, fans could not contain their excitement and took to Twitter to pour out their love for him. One fan tweeted:


ARMYs are proud of Jimin for latest achievement over Like Crazy

Fans are proud that BTS' Jimin continues to create history as his debut album FACE also remains at No.1 on the Billboard World Albums chart. It has consecutively spent four weeks just like the song Like Crazy. He is also the first Korean soloist to rank No.1 on Billboard with his single.

Fans made sure that hashtags about Jimin trended on social media. From calling him a "history maker," to saying that "Jimin paved the way," Jimin's fans have flooded Twitter with praises for him.

The singer has also joined fellow BTS members j-hope and Nayeon as the second longest-charting Korean soloists on the Billboard Artist 100 chart.

The Promise singer's debut album FACE continues to make several records as he snagged the No.11 spot simultaneously on the Top Albums Sales chart and the Top Current Albums Sales charts. The idol also visited many shows and programs including KBS' Beat Coin, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, SBS' Inkigayo, and gave his debut solo performances there.

Meanwhile, BTS' members also became one of the first K-pop soloists to sell over one million copies on the first day of the album's release in Hanteo chart history. The only other artist to achieve the same feat is BTS' Suga. He has also occupied the No.1 position in the first week of sales in Hanteo History.

The idol has also increased his agency HYBE's shares by 15% when he topped No.1 on Billboard's Hot 100. He even increased the shares of other K-Pop agencies including SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and more.

The Promise singer's latest track consists of songs including Face-Off, Interlude: Dive, Like Crazy, Alone, Set me Free Pt.2, and Like Crazy English version.
