BTS’ Jimin had such an amazing run with his sophomore album, “MUSE,” and his title track, “WHO.” The idol is not only having great accolades in South Korea, but he is also becoming a notorious figure in the Japanese market.
On August 27, it was reported by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) that “WHO” earned his first solo platinum certification. The idol has just surpassed 100 million streams in the country.
In addition, the RIAJ also confirmed Jimin was the only South Korean and non-Japanese artist listed in the platinum tier for the month. Despite the fact that the song was released in July 2024, it is the fastest song by a K-pop soloist to reach 100 million streams in Japan, adding another marvelous achievement to the idol.
Ultimately, BTS’ Jimin has steadily built his presence in Japan, as “MUSE” was also certified gold after passing 100,000 copies sold. The growing solo track record reflects Jimin’s success in the world’s largest music markets.
