BTS's Jimin's song 'Who' is being loved as the best K-pop song of the year. 'Who,' the title track from Jimin's second solo album 'MUSE,' earned 375,000 points on the United World Chart for week 31 of 2024, securing the number one spot. This is the highest debut of the year.

The United World Chart, published by 'Media Traffic,' is a global music chart based on official charts worldwide. It applies weightings according to the size of each country's music market, using the latest International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) statistics.

With this achievement, Jimin set the record for the highest debut points for a K-pop solo artist in 2024. His first solo album 'FACE,' with the title track 'Like Crazy,' earned 387,000 points in week 14 of 2023, making it the biggest debut by a Korean solo artist at that time. This puts Jimin at the top with the second-highest record for a K-pop solo song.

'FACE' also set the record for the largest debut by a Korean solo artist in album sales, selling 1,106,000 copies in week 14 of 2023 and holding the top spot for two weeks with 279,000 copies in week 15. It ranked 23rd on the United World Chart's Global Year-End Album Chart for 2023, being the only album by a Korean solo artist in the top 30, showing Jimin's strong solo presence.

Jimin's second solo album 'MUSE' and its title track 'Who' ranked second on the US Billboard main album chart and 14th on the singles chart for the week of August 4. It also topped the global daily chart on Spotify, the world's largest streaming platform, for eight consecutive days, setting a record for the longest-running number one K-pop solo song, despite Jimin's inactivity due to military service.

TWICE’s Nayeon has just made a major real estate move—and she’s now living next door to one of Korea’s biggest stars, Yoo Jae Suk!

According to Herald Economy, Nayeon purchased a stunning property in the exclusive Brighton N40 complex in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, back in May of last year. The luxury home has a spacious floor area of 128.15㎡ and a price tag of a whopping 3.936 billion won. But that’s not all—just a few days later, she rented out the property with a deposit of 2.8 billion won!

Brighton N40 is a brand-new luxury complex designed by world-renowned architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Finished in 2022, the complex boasts five buildings, four underground floors, and apartments ranging from five to ten stories high.

There are only 148 high-end apartments in the entire building, making it the perfect home for A-listers.

And Nayeon isn’t the only star in the neighborhood! The complex also houses a number of other famous residents, including Yoo Jae Suk, SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi, INFINITE’s L, actress Oh Yeon Seo, and broadcaster Lee Hwi Jae.

Meanwhile, TWICE has been busy promoting their latest mini album "STRATEGY", which dropped on December 6th, keeping fans excited and engaged with their latest music.

Nayeon’s luxurious new home and her star-studded neighbors are just the latest in a series of major milestones for the TWICE member. We can’t wait to see what she does next.
