BTS's Jimin has added another incredible achievement to his name, continuing to shine as a front-runner of K-pop on the U.S. Spotify charts.

On November 15, Jimin’s song "Who" made history by ranking 10th on the Spotify U.S. Daily Top Songs chart, marking the first and only time a Korean song has stayed in the Top 10 of this chart for 100 days.

The song climbed even higher on November 16, reaching 7th place, and held that position on November 17, keeping its spot in the Top 10 for 102 out of 122 days on the chart.

"Who" also made history as the first Korean solo song to reach #1 on the Spotify U.S. Daily Top Songs chart on August 19, and it remains the only Korean solo song to achieve this feat. Additionally, the track spent 15 weeks in the Top 10 of the Spotify U.S. Weekly Top Songs chart, another first and only record for a Korean song.

Currently, "Who" has surpassed 185 million streams on Spotify U.S., breaking records for the most streamed song by a Korean artist on the platform. The counting of streams excludes infinite loops, ensuring that these numbers are an accurate reflection of its global popularity.

Jimin’s solo debut album, "FACE", also continues to perform well, with the title track "Like Crazy" reaching 114 million streams on the U.S. Spotify chart. With this, Jimin has become the first and only Korean artist to have two songs with over 100 million streams on the U.S. Spotify charts.

What makes these achievements even more impressive is that Jimin has accomplished all of this without collaborations from major international artists, solidifying his unique position as a Korean artist dominating in the U.S. music scene. He’s also continuing to enjoy long-term success on the Billboard Hot 100, maintaining a 16-week streak on the main singles chart.

Jimin’s success is proof of his unstoppable "Jimerica Power", as he continues to break new records and make K-pop history.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
