"Doing it all on his own"– Fans celebrate as Jimin ranks second only to BTS in HYBE's all-time US streaming revenue

On April 7, 2025, BTS member Jimin was celebrated across social media as reports confirmed that he had reached a major solo milestone. According to an X account, @chartsjimin_, and other fan-based chart accounts and streaming data shared online, the idol has now earned $2.4 million in US streaming revenue. This makes him the second artist in HYBE’s history after BTS to achieve this feat.

The accomplishment also makes him the first and only K-pop soloist to generate such a figure in the US,/ He is also the fastest K-pop act overall to reach it. His solo track, Who, played a key role in this success. The song is now the third highest-grossing K-pop song in US history under HYBE, following the group's Butter and Dynamite.

The song Who was released as the lead single from his second album Muse. It has since performed steadily on US charts despite the singer’s absence due to military enlistment. Fans praised the achievement as they stated that his success is driven by his talent alone. An X user, @isabell29643239, wrote,

"Jimin is doing it all on his own, without HYBE’s support!"

Others too flocked to social media to congratulate the idol for the new record.

"IKTR!!!!! I love stanning TALENT!!," an X user remarked.

"Congratulations JIMIN You deserve every success .Organic king," a fan commented.

"Wooooahhhh.. king behaviour," a netizen added.

"Wow! Jimin King of KPop CONGRATULATIONS," another person wrote.

Others also alleged that he keeps on making records without much support from his label, HYBE.

"Jimin is bank. If I were Hybe, I would make sure he was protected and given every support, respect and recognition an artist of his calibre deserves, as part of BTS, who carried the company on their backs, and as the most successful soloist during the members' solo era," a fan commented.

"Congratulations king . And you reward for giving all this to your company is the poorest stage to meet your fans and no big stages to perform , no mvs for your songs , no radio , no articles and full sabotage," an X user added.

"And this is the artist they choose to sabotage. A big yikes for hybe," another user remarked.
