• Netizens Debate On Which Girl Group Will Win The October Comeback War

    There are months of the year when the biggest and most popular groups will have a comeback.

    One of the most anticipated months would be this October when three popular girl groups in both domestic and international audiences will be having a comeback.

    According to a number of music officials on the 15th, (G)I-DLE will release a new album on October 17th. This new album is the first in 7 months since the release of the first full-length album 'I Never Die' in March.

    On the same day, HYBE label Source Music's new girl group Le Sserafim will also return to their fans.

    As the first album 'FEARLESS' received a good response on the Billboard global chart and major music charts at home and abroad, expectations are high for the new album.

    Prior to this, Kep1er, who has been attracting attention as a '4th generation Tier 1', will make a comeback on October 13th.

    Following their debut title song 'WA DA DA', they took the No. 1 title on Korean music shows with 'UP!' and will be challenging their career high with their new album.

    Netizens then commented with the following:

    Wow, it's going to be rough… G-Idle fighting!

  • BTS's Jimin Breaks Records in Japan with "Who" as it Earns Prestigious 'Gold' Streaming Certification

    BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

    Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

    This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

    The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

    This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

    Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

    With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

    Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

    Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
