BTS’ Jimin dropped his highly-anticipated solo album ‘MUSE’ in July. Following six months of its release, the lead track ‘Who’ boasts a momentous milestone. The K-pop sensation continues to achieve milestones with his smash hit solo album. The K-pop idol recently bagged the BRTI Gold certification for the track ‘Who’ in the U.K. The impressive milestone makes Jimin the first male K-pop soloist to brag the feat following PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style.’

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) announced that Jimin’s hit single ‘Who’ has received an official BRIT gold certification. This gives BTS’ Jimin his first track to clinch the coveted recognition. According to the BPI’s certification thresholds, singles are certified gold when they sell 400,000 units. On the other hand, albums are certified gold at 100,000 units sold. ‘Who’ is now the first song by a K-pop male soloist since PSY’s iconic 2012 hit ‘Gangnam Style’ to be certified gold in the United Kingdom.
