BTS' Jimin’s WHO became the best-selling K-pop song in the US

Park Jimin's WHO just became the best-selling K-pop track on Billboard's Top 10 Selling Digital Songs of 2024 in the US. Although Jimin's song topped the names of K-pop acts, it came at eighth place overall.

The sales totaled more than 131,000 copies that eventually topped the list of K-pop acts.

Further, on January 5, 2025, BTS' Jimin turned into the first and only K-pop solo artist in history to have two singles with over 1.3 billion Spotify streams. The BTS member reached the latest mark with his two independent tracks, Like Crazy and WHO.

While the former is from his debut solo studio compilation, FACE, the latter is from his second album, MUSE. Jimin's single WHO recently crossed the 1.3 billion mark, following Like Crazy's achievement in October 2024.

The first album was dropped in March 2023 and the second one came out in July 2024.


Currently, BTS' Jimin is carrying out his compulsory military service, which started in December 2023. The idol is likely to be released in June this year.

Besides Jimin, Jungkook, V, Namjoon, and SUGA are also enlisted in military training. They are likely to reunite in June 2025 after finishing their respective terms.
