BTS’s Jimin just hit another huge milestone! His song "Be Mine" has surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, the world’s biggest music streaming platform.

"Be Mine," from Jimin’s second solo album MUSE, reached the 100 million stream mark on September 22nd. This makes it Jimin's 14th solo song to cross this impressive milestone on Spotify.

Jimin's solo career keeps breaking records. He’s already hit 100 million streams with tracks like "Like Crazy," which made him the first Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart, all six songs from his first solo album FACE, his collaboration track "VIBE" with Taeyang, the OST "With You" from the tvN drama, the Fast X main theme "Angel Pt. 1," and his song "Promise," which hit 100 million streams on September 19th. "Be Mine" is the latest addition to this incredible list.

"Be Mine" is a sensual track that highlights Jimin’s unique vocals with an irresistible sound. It’s the fourth song from MUSE to reach 100 million streams, following hits like the title track "Who," which set the fastest record this year by reaching 600 million streams in just 66 days, "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" (159.46 million streams), and "Closer Than This" (224.54 million streams).

Thanks to this overwhelming love from fans, MUSE has become the first and only Korean solo album released in 2024 to surpass 1.2 billion streams. Jimin’s previous album FACE, which saw all its tracks surpass 100 million streams by May, has now exceeded 2.4 billion streams. This makes Jimin the only Korean solo artist to have two albums with over 1.2 billion streams on Spotify.

On top of that, Jimin now has 18 songs with over 100 million streams, including his solo tracks from BTS albums like "Lie," "Serendipity: Intro," "Serendipity: Full Length," and "Filter." With these achievements, Jimin continues to prove he’s a leading figure in K-pop.

tvN’s weekend drama “Resident Playbook” is getting more and more love each week — and its latest episode just broke the 5% ratings mark!

On April 20, episode 4 of Resident Playbook recorded 5.8% average viewership in Seoul (with a peak of 6.5%) and 5.1% nationwide (with a peak of 5.7%), according to Nielsen Korea. This made the show No.1 in its time slot across all cable and general programming channels, including public broadcasters.

Among tvN’s main target audience — men and women aged 20 to 49 — it also scored high with 2.9% average and 3.3% peak nationwide, showing strong support from younger viewers.

Fans are now asking: is this the “Go Youn Jung effect” at play, or are viewers tuning in for the emotional storytelling and cameos from Hospital Playlist characters?

In the latest episode, the rookie residents — Oh Yi Young (Go Youn Jung), Kim Sa Bi (Han Ye Ji), Pyo Nam Kyung (Shin Si Ah), and Eom Jae Il (Kang Yoo Seok) — continued growing closer as teammates and friends. Their emotional ups and downs, along with heartfelt moments between characters, touched the hearts of many.

One major moment was when Yi Young, dealing with a difficult case, bravely asked Kim Sa Bi for help despite earlier tension between them. The two ended up working together and comforting each other — and viewers were moved to tears.

Another scene that drew attention was the cameo by Kim Jun Wan (Jung Kyung Ho) from Hospital Playlist, who joined the medical team for a rare case. His appearance brought back nostalgia and added even more depth to the story.

Fans are loving the mix of emotional healing, growing friendships, and realistic hospital life, calling the show a warm follow-up to the Hospital Playlist universe.

With ratings rising and buzz building, many are wondering just how high Resident Playbook will climb. New episodes air every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM KST on tvN.
