BTS Jimin has made headlines with his latest solo single, WHO, which has become the fastest Korean song to surpass 700 million streams on Spotify. This milestone highlights Jimin's impressive success, especially considering that 'WHO' is the lead track from his second solo album, MUSE, released on July 19, 2024. Within 24 hours of its release, Jimin's 'WHO' had also topped the Worldwide and European iTunes Song Charts in over 111 countries. Now, the song is on a winning spree, creating new records every other day.

BTS Jimin's MUSE not only dominated the iTunes Top Albums chart in 87 countries, including the U.S., U.K., and France, but it also ranked second on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, 'WHO' claimed the top spot on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global 200 (Excl. U.S.) charts, showcasing Jimin's global impact.

In March 2023, Jimin released his debut solo album, FACE, featuring the hit track 'Like Crazy,' which made him the first Korean solo artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His influence extends beyond music; he has also been named the global ambassador for Dior and Tiffany & Co.

Jimin enlisted in the South Korean military on December 12, 2023, alongside his bandmate Jungkook, with both expected to be discharged in June 2025. Despite their military service, Jimin's MUSE and its pre-released single, 'Smeraldo Garden Marching Band' (featuring Loco), continue to make waves, with the latter surpassing 100 million Spotify streams as the fastest song to achieve this in 2024.

On August 8, 2024, his reality travel show 'Are You Sure?!' premiered on Disney+, featuring Jimin and Jungkook exploring various locales, including New York and Jeju Island. The show concluded on September 19, 2024, with a heartfelt message from the duo to their fans, promising to return safely from military service.

In another remarkable achievement, BTS was recognised as the most streamed group on Spotify on October 4, 2024, reaching 40 billion streams—a first for any Asian artist. With over 40,760,279,906 streams and 11,370,945 daily streams, the group continues to break records, becoming the eleventh most streamed artist of all time on the platform. Fans, known as ARMYs, took to social media to celebrate this accomplishment, trending hashtags like 'BTS PAVED THE WAY' and 'HISTORY CREATOR.'

Formed in 2010, BTS—consisting of Jimin, Jin, Suga, Jhope, RM, V and Jungkook—debuted in 2013 with their single album '2 Cool 4 Skool.' As they prepare for their anticipated reunion in 2025 after completing military service, the septet's legacy continues to grow, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry.
