BTS Jimin has received platinum certification from the Japan Record Association.

According to an announcement by the Japan Record Association, BTS Jimin’s second solo album "MUSE" title track "Who" surpassed 100 million cumulative streams in Japan, achieving platinum status in the streaming category for July. This marks the highest number of streams among Jimin's solo songs and his first platinum certification.

The Japan Record Association grants certifications monthly based on cumulative stream counts: gold (50 million or more), platinum (100 million or more), and diamond (500 million or more).

Previously, Jimin’s first solo album "FACE" exceeded 250,000 in cumulative sales to earn platinum certification in the album category, while his second mini-album "MUSE" sold over 100,000 copies and received gold certification.

"Who" is a hip-hop R&B track characterized by powerful beats that explode from the start, complemented by acoustic yet delicate guitar performances. The song expresses longing and confusion for someone never met before. Its dynamic bounce combined with captivating and rough performance earned it widespread acclaim.

Meanwhile, "Who" entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 12 (as of August 3, 2024) and remained on the chart for a total of 33 weeks. It also topped both the Billboard Global 200 and Global (excluding U.S.) charts for two consecutive weeks each, staying within the rankings for 74 weeks and 89 weeks respectively. On the UK Official Singles Top 100 chart, it reached a peak position of No. 4 and remained on the chart for 28 weeks, demonstrating sustained popularity across major global music charts.
