Following the announcement, Jimin's latest achievement quickly went viral on social media, with fans celebrating his success. One X user tweeted:
"soloist jimin 's insane success makes me so happy for some reason like yess baby you deserve this and even more."
Fans also pointed out that the BTS member had not promoted Who in the United Kingdom.
"didn’t even set a foot in uk to promote and yet he has the first solo song by a korean soloist to be certified gold, that’s deserved af," a fan reacted.
"No k-pop male soloist has ever achieved this, but Jimin did it first and with no label support and no promotions in the UK and on his own," another fan shared.
"Korean solo artist achieving this without any promotion in UK is crazy he's still stuck in military rn," an X user mentioned.
Meanwhile, others discussed how he emerged as the first K-pop soloist after PSY to achieve the feat.
"His power you all!!! Jimin didn't promote in UK and still doing amazing in one of the biggest music markets So proud of Jimin and everything he is achieving as an artist Keep supporting his music," a user reacted.
"It does not require cooperation or promotion abroad. He can succeed without any privileges, even during military service. He can succeed in any way. For this reason, some resort to reducing it. Corrupt rules go crazy with real success," another X user shared.
"He's the First Kpop soloist since Psy to do this omg this is insane and he did that without even promoting," an X user mentioned.
