• BTS's Jimin's "Who" Hits New Heights on Billboard Hot 100 After 11 Weeks

    BTS member Jimin is back in the spotlight as his song "Who" has climbed to an impressive 26th place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in its 11th week.

    According to Billboard’s latest update on October 8, Jimin's title track from his second solo album, MUSE, moved up four spots from last week. This is the highest rank ever for a Korean solo artist's song in its 11th week since 2013, which is a big achievement for Jimin.

    "Who" started strong, debuting at 14th place and even reaching 12th in its second week. The song showcased its popularity with ups and downs, dropping to positions like 24th and 29th, but it bounced back to 28th in its seventh week. Now, staying in the top 30 for weeks, it has finally returned to 26th place, showing just how much fans love it.

    What’s even more exciting? "Who" is the first and only song by a Korean solo artist to stay in the top 40 for its first 11 weeks! Plus, Jimin's album MUSE is also doing well, hitting 103rd on the Billboard 200 chart for its 11th week.

    In addition to this, "Who" topped the Billboard World Albums chart this week, marking a personal best for Jimin. Last year, he made history by reaching number one on this chart a total of six times with his first solo album, FACE.

    On Billboard's other charts, "Who" also made great strides, ranking 12th on the Global (Excluding U.S.) chart, 13th on the Global 200 chart, 20th on the Streaming Songs chart, and 26th on the Pop Airplay chart. Jimin also made it to 72nd place on the Billboard Artist 100 chart, proving his star power.

    Reflecting on all these accomplishments, Jimin has expressed gratitude to his fans for their continued support. He hopes they feel the emotions and stories behind "Who" as he shares his journey through music.

    To celebrate his achievements, an exhibition called "The Truth Untold: Unspoken Feelings" will take place from November 11 to November 3 at the Le Méridien Moxy in Myeongdong, Seoul. Jimin looks forward to connecting with fans and sharing his artistic vision.
