BTS's Jimin has hit another amazing milestone with his song Who!

According to Circle Chart, Jimin’s title track Who from his second solo album MUSE has stayed at No. 1 for 10 consecutive weeks on the Global K-pop Chart.

This new record was set during the 39th week of 2024, as revealed on October 3. Who is now the first and only song in 2024 to stay on top of the Global K-pop Chart for 10 weeks in a row.

Just last week, Who had completed 9 straight weeks at No. 1, beating out aespa's Supernova and ILLIT’s Magnetic, which both held the top spot for 8 weeks. Now, Jimin has extended his lead with a 10th week at No. 1!

The Global K-pop Chart is based on K-pop streaming data from all over the world. Even though Who was tracked for only two days, it debuted at No. 7 on the 29th-week chart. From its first full week of tracking during the 30th week, Who has consistently ranked No. 1 through the 39th week, proving its massive global appeal.

Earlier in 2024, Jimin had already reached No. 1 on the Global K-pop Chart in the 27th week with his pre-release track Smeraldo Garden Marching Band from MUSE. With Who now securing 10 No. 1s, Jimin has racked up a total of 11 chart-toppers this year alone!

Who first debuted at No. 1 on the daily Global K-pop Chart on July 19, and it has stayed there for an impressive 74 days straight as of the latest chart on September 30, showing just how unstoppable Jimin’s popularity is.

Jimin’s second solo album MUSE and its title track Who continue to receive endless love, while his first solo album FACE, which came out last year, has now surpassed 300 million total streams on Melon. The title track Like Crazy is still going strong too, passing 122 million streams as of October 1.

Jimin’s reign on the charts shows no signs of slowing down!

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
