BTS’s Jimin has once again demonstrated his formidable global digital power by ranking high on the 2025 Circle Chart Mid-Year Global K-pop Chart.
According to the latest announcement from Circle Chart, “Who,” the title track from Jimin’s second solo album MUSE, ranked 4th overall on the 2025 Mid-Year Global K-pop Chart. Notably, it was the highest-ranking song by a male artist, underlining Jimin’s unmatched global popularity.
The Global K-pop Chart is compiled based on worldwide K-pop streaming data. “Who,” released on July 19, 2024, previously made history by achieving No. 1 on the Daily Global K-pop Chart a total of 84 times, the most for any single track in that chart's history.
Additionally, “Who” claimed the No. 1 spot on the Weekly Global K-pop Chart 12 times in 2024, making it the most weekly-topping single of the year. Despite a relatively short tracking period, “Who” ranked 4th in Circle Chart’s 2024 Year-End Global K-pop Chart — the highest position for any solo song released that year.
Meanwhile, Jimin was named “The Most Loved K-pop Artist in the World in 2024” by Circle Chart in their year-end report released on January 10, 2025. Even during his military service, Jimin continues to maintain extraordinary long-term global influence and popularity.
