BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his incredible global popularity after taking first place in the “Billboard Hot 100 Favorite Idol” poll.
The BTS member ranked No. 1 in the fan vote held through the Choeaedol app from February 13 to March 2, drawing attention once again to his outstanding solo achievements on Billboard’s biggest charts.
Jimin’s win is especially meaningful because of the historic records he has already set as a solo artist.
In 2023, Jimin made history when “Like Crazy,” the title track from his first solo album FACE, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated April 8.
The song became the first Korean solo track ever to reach No. 1 in the chart’s 68 year history, marking a major milestone for K pop.
That same week, Jimin also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Artist 100 chart, becoming the first and still the only K pop solo artist to achieve that record. He also holds the longest run for a K pop soloist on the Artist 100, with 40 weeks on the chart.
His solo momentum continued with MUSE, as the title track “Who” spent 33 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. At the time, it set the longest charting record for any K pop song overall, further proving Jimin’s powerful staying power on the U.S. charts.
With his latest No. 1 fan vote win, fans are once again celebrating the singer’s major Billboard impact and unmatched solo milestones.
As part of the reward for winning the poll, Jimin will also receive a special advertisement at Lotte World Mall’s Art Canvas display on March 23.
