On September 10, 2025, fans of BTS' Jimin took to social media to celebrate after his solo track Who reached two significant milestones in the United States. The song officially became the first and only K-pop solo track to remain on Spotify USA's Daily Songs Chart for 400 consecutive days. Additionally, it also surpassed 400 million filtered streams on the platform.

These latest records marked unprecedented achievements for a Korean act in the U.S. market. The accomplishment sparked waves of celebration across fan platforms.

Many pointed out how Who continues to break barriers more than a year after release.

Fans trended phrases like “JIMERICA,” while also noting how the singer had achieved this without any international collaborations. An X user, @pjmrealartist, wrote:

Others called it proof that the singer’s popularity in the West has been consistent, and described him as the “Global It Boy." Fans also highlighted how his success is particularly significant given the intense competition on U.S. charts.

One fan noted that Who had reached the milestone faster than other artists. Meanwhile, another said award shows could no longer ignore his influence. For many, the achievement was not only about setting records but also about recognizing his reach as a solo performer.
