BTS's Jimin has officially made history by setting a K-pop solo record on Spotify’s U.S. year-end charts, and it’s all thanks to his amazing presence and unstoppable popularity!

For the first time ever, a song by a Korean solo artist made it onto the "Top Tracks of 2024 USA" list on Spotify Wrapped. Jimin's solo second album "MUSE" and its title track "Who" ranked 46th on the chart, making Jimin the first K-pop solo artist to land this achievement. Talk about a game changer!

But that’s not all—Jimin's hit song "Who" topped the Atlanta city chart, and his previous smash "Like Crazy" from his first album "FACE" clinched the top spot in Los Angeles. It’s clear that Jimin’s influence as the most-streamed K-pop artist in the U.S. is undeniable.

Spotify’s Wrapped Mapped, which debuted in 2023, combines streaming data from cities around the world. Last year, "Like Crazy" ranked 2nd in Atlanta, and now, "Who" has hit number one in the city, with "Like Crazy" staying strong at 4th place. This marks Jimin’s second consecutive year making waves in Atlanta—an incredible feat for the artist.

Jimin's dominance didn’t stop there. "Who" also ranked 5th on the San Francisco city chart and 2nd in Toronto, Canada! These results prove just how much Jimin's music has taken over North America.

Now, Jimin can officially call himself the first and only Korean artist to top Spotify’s U.S. city year-end chart, and with two songs reaching number one on separate city charts, he has cemented his "Jimerica" legacy for good.

On top of his chart-topping success, Jimin’s exhibition "The Truth Untold: The Heartfelt Truth" has been an overwhelming success in Korea and is now taking Los Angeles by storm! After launching in LA on November 29, fans have been lining up to experience the exhibition, which will run until December 15 before heading to Tokyo in January.

Jimin is truly unstoppable, and his influence is only continuing to grow!

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.
