Jimin's Who marks global success with powerful chart performances and cultural impact
Released on July 19, 2024, Who—the title track from Park Jimin’s second solo album Muse—has emerged as one of the year’s most successful releases. The song, produced by an accomplished team including Pdogg, GHSTLOOP, Jon Bellion, Pete Nappi, and Tenroc, combines hip-hop and R&B with a rhythmic guitar base.
Upon release, the track made a strong impact on global charts. In the United States, it debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of August 3, 2024, marking the highest new entry that week. It also topped the Digital Song Sales chart, earning the Filter singer his sixth No. 1 on the tally— reportedly the most by any K-pop soloist to date.

Further cementing its cultural reach, Who was played at Italy’s Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on February 9, 2025, during a Serie A match between Napoli and Udinese. The moment spotlighted the song’s resonance beyond traditional music platforms, emphasising its global influence.
Park Jimin is presently serving in the South Korean military and is expected to be discharged on June 11, 2025.
