BTS's Jimin continues to prove his global popularity with his latest solo track. On August 9th, the UK Official Charts revealed that Jimin's song "Who," from his second solo album 'MUSE,' landed at 25th on the Official Singles Chart. Impressively, the track has stayed on the chart for three weeks in a row.

The song also topped both the 'Singles Sales' and 'Singles Downloads' charts for three consecutive weeks. Additionally, it reached 8th place on the 'Physical Singles Sales' chart.

Jimin's success doesn't stop there. "Who" is also doing well on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform.

The song took the number 1 spot on Spotify's 'Weekly Top Songs Global' chart for three weeks straight (from August 2nd to 8th). It also held the number 1 position on the 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart for 15 days (from July 23rd to August 6th).

Though it briefly dropped to second place behind Billie Eilish's "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" on August 7th, it quickly returned to the top spot the next day.

Jimin's album 'MUSE,' released on July 19th, explores the journey of finding inspiration within oneself. The title track "Who" reflects the feelings of longing and confusion when missing someone you've never met.

The song also climbed to a new peak of 12th on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated August 10th), reaching its highest position so far.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
