Jimin's "Who" Hits 2 Billion Streams, Setting New Spotify Record

BTS star Jimin has done it again, proving his global star power with a jaw-dropping achievement.

His hit single "Who," the lead track from his second solo album MUSE, has racked up 2 billion streams on Spotify in just 427 days since its release. Announced on September 18, 2025, this milestone makes Jimin a record-breaking force in K-pop, even while he’s serving his mandatory military service.

Dropped on July 19, 2024, "Who" hooked listeners with its catchy beats and heartfelt lyrics about self-discovery and yearning.

The song, a mix of pop, R&B, and electronic vibes, showed off Jimin’s growth as a solo artist and became the heart of MUSE.

Fans, known as ARMY, pushed it to the top with viral social media challenges, radio play, and endless streaming. The track’s climb to Spotify’s "Billions Club" – a rare group of mega-popular songs – is a testament to their dedication.

• BTS’ Jimin Sets Record: “Who” Hits 2 Billion Spotify Streams
• Jimin’s “Who” Becomes Fastest K-Pop Solo Song to Reach 2B Streams
• BTS Star Jimin Breaks Global Records with 2B Spotify Milestone

This isn’t just a big number; it’s a record-smashing moment. "Who" is the fastest song by a Korean solo artist to hit 2 billion streams, beating out other K-pop heavyweights. It’s also the quickest Asian song ever, the fastest by any Korean artist, and the second-fastest male-led track to reach this mark. For comparison, Jimin’s earlier hit "Like Crazy" from his 2023 album FACE took longer to gain similar traction, showing how his solo career is soaring.

Jimin’s success is even more impressive since he’s been in the military since December 2023. Away from the stage, the 29-year-old has kept fans engaged with pre-recorded content and the song’s universal appeal. MUSE landed at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and "Who" topped charts in over 100 countries, earning Jimin his first solo Grammy nod this year. The song’s music video has also pulled in millions of YouTube views, thanks to Jimin’s magnetic charm.

Jimin’s milestone is a win for K-pop’s global reach. As Spotify grows in Asia and beyond, "Who" connects people across cultures, proving K-pop’s staying power. With 2 billion streams and counting, Jimin’s music keeps breaking barriers and winning hearts worldwide.
