Boyband BTS’s sensational singer Jimin dropped his highly anticipated comeback solo album ‘MUSE’ last month. The album’s lead track, “Who,” has emerged as a chartbuster. Even though the album was released in July, it continues to dominate the playlists of several K-pop enthusiasts. After captivating fans and making his way onto renowned global charts, the singer has now achieved another milestone: Jimin’s “Who” has become the most-streamed K-pop track of 2024 on Spotify.

On August 26, Jimin’s solo hit “Who” officially claimed the top spot. Among the tracks released this year, “Who” is now the K-pop song with the highest number of streams on Spotify.
