BTS's Jimin has once again made history by topping iTunes charts worldwide.

On July 24th, Jimin's second solo album 'MUSE' title track 'Who' reached number one on Slovenia's iTunes 'Top Songs' chart. With this, 'Who' topped iTunes 'Top Songs' charts in 119 countries and regions worldwide, setting a phenomenal record for the shortest time to achieve an all-kill in just 5 days, 10 hours, and 20 minutes.

In addition to 'Who,' Jimin's second solo album includes 'Closer Than This' and 'Smeraldo Garden Marching Band,' achieving an incredible record of three all-kills in one album. Following his first solo album 'FACE' title track 'Like Crazy,' 'With You,' and BTS's fourth studio album solo song 'Filter,' Jimin now holds the unique record of having six all-kills on iTunes in 119 countries, being the first and only artist in the world to do so.

Jimin continues to break his own records and create a global sensation. Since the release of 'Who,' he has maintained the number one spot on the 'Worldwide iTunes Song' chart for nine consecutive days and topped the 'European iTunes Song' and 'Worldwide iTunes Album' charts for eight consecutive days.

The popularity extends to the remix album, which includes the original song 'Who' along with instrumental, acoustic, rock, Shibuya-kei, funky, and beautiful mind versions. This album simultaneously secured the top eight positions on the US iTunes chart upon release.

In the UK and France, the instrumental and acoustic versions each reached number one, setting a new record for the most number-one songs by a K-pop solo artist on iTunes charts in these countries, with a total of 15 number-one songs.

Meanwhile, Jimin's new release 'MUSE,' his first in about a year and four months, has dominated iTunes charts and held the number one spot on Spotify's 'Global Daily Top Songs' chart for five consecutive days. It also achieved his highest ranking of fourth on the UK's Official Singles Chart, demonstrating his unwavering popularity even during his military hiatus.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
