BTS member Suga has made history on Spotify, surpassing 4 billion total streams. He's now the highest-streamed Asian rapper ever.

On July 14th, Spotify confirmed that Suga achieved this milestone. It includes his solo work as Agust D and SUGA, along with tracks from BTS albums where he's featured.

Earlier, by August 2023, Suga had already hit 3 billion streams, making his total now over 10 billion in less than a year.

Notably, Suga's solo credits alone contributed 3.5 billion streams, excluding BTS tracks. This solidifies his status as the first Asian rapper to achieve such numbers with just three solo albums and tracks he's produced.

His independent production "Haegeum" recently crossed 300 million streams this month. Additionally, tracks like "Haegeum" and "That That," featuring Suga from 2022, ranked high on the Circle Chart's mid-year rankings, showcasing his ongoing success and global appeal.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
