BTS's Jimin is breaking records and making history once again! His hit song "Who" has made an impressive 20-week streak on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, marking the longest run ever for a K-pop solo song.

As of the latest Billboard charts (week of December 14, 2024), Jimin's "Who" moved up 9 spots to No. 47 on the Hot 100, achieving its 20th consecutive week on the chart. This is the first-ever K-pop solo song to stay in the Top 60 of the Billboard Hot 100 for 20 weeks without any additional releases or remixes, even during the busy Christmas season dominated by holiday songs!

"Who" is now officially the first K-pop solo song to reach 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 since Psy's legendary "Gangnam Style." It's also the only K-pop song in 2024 to achieve this incredible milestone.

Jimin’s solo album MUSE (featuring "Who") also made waves, jumping 43 spots on the Billboard 200, landing at No. 114. The album is now the only K-pop album in 2024 to stay on the Billboard 200 for 20 weeks. This is another massive win for Jimin's solo career, as he continues to break boundaries.

But that’s not all! Jimin also rose 28 spots to No. 70 on the Billboard Artist 100, marking his 30th week on the chart. He made history as the first and only K-pop solo artist to top the Billboard Artist 100 chart, and now he’s continuing his streak!

"Who" is also holding strong on the Streaming Songs chart, ranking at No. 35 for its 20th consecutive week, making it the second-longest K-pop solo streak on that chart, just behind Psy’s "Gangnam Style."

Globally, "Who" has maintained its presence, staying in the Top 25 on both the Global 200 and Global (Excl. U.S.) charts for 20 weeks straight, securing spots at No. 24 and No. 23, respectively.

On the Digital Song Sales chart, "Who" re-entered at No. 13, and MUSE landed at No. 5 on the World Albums chart, keeping its 20-week streak alive. Jimin’s first album FACE still holds the record for the longest-charting K-pop solo album at 63 weeks, but now MUSE is on its way to join the elite.

And it doesn't stop there—Jimin’s "Who" has also made history in Japan, Canada, and the Philippines, charting for 20 consecutive weeks in each country, making it the first song by an Asian artist to achieve this feat in four different countries. In Canada, it's now the first and only K-pop solo song to ever achieve 20 weeks, following in the footsteps of "Gangnam Style."

Jimin’s record-breaking achievements continue to prove that he is not only a global star but also a K-pop force to be reckoned with!

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.
