BTS' JIMIN's solo docu-film Jimin's Production Diary has raked in a staggering revenue of $11 million, or ₩ 13.7 billion. The Like Crazy singer became the third Bangtan member to release his solo documentary film on HYBE's own platform, Weverse.
The documentary film, released on October 23, showcases the making of his debut album, FACE, which was released on March 24 this year. Not only has the album earned critical praise from fans and critics worldwide, but Jimin's Production Diary has also set unprecedented records by attracting 511K live viewers who paid to watch the film. These numbers would translate to ₩ 13.7 billion, or € 9.8 million in terms of the revenue earned.
ARMYs are overjoyed and proud of the 28-year-old musician, and they turned to X to heap praise on him.
JIMIN's fans lavish praise on him as his docu-solo film generates concert-equivalent revenue
The broadcast was paid content, meaning that only a limited number of people could access it. ARMYs have pointed out that the money generated from previous BTS online concerts, boasting viewership of 1.3 million, 993k, and 756k for the 2021 'MASTER SOWOOZOO', 'MOTS ON: E', and 'BANGBANGCON' concerts, respectively, garnered a whopping $76.6 million, $48.8 million, and $20 million in revenue.
The money the 28-year-old singer has earned through one solo documentary film at least matches that, if not in numbers, in stature. ARMYs also pointed out that actual statistics may be higher, as a lot of fans may have paid for the documentary film but had not been able to watch it in real-time either due to their time difference or busy schedules.
Fans of the K-pop idol are all elated and celebrating his raw star power and immense influence, especially since his documentary film actually attracted more than half of the viewers for all BTS concerts.
ARMYs are certain that the Serendipity singer is ready to headline a solo concert, and the numbers earned through docu-film are proof that he is capable of generating fantastic revenue all by himself as well.
Previously, at his special fan meet, the Promise singer revealed he has been eating and sleeping well, working out, and is also working on something, although he didn't divulge the details regarding it and requested fans to imagine this for themselves.
ARMYs are hoping the Lie singer makes an official announcement regarding another solo release, collaboration, or perhaps a solo concert.
