Onew from SHINee opened up about his close friendship with Key during his appearance on Amazing Saturday.

On the December 28th episode of tvN’s Amazing Saturday, Onew joined the cast as a guest and shared some touching thoughts about his fellow SHINee member.

The host, Boom, jokingly asked Onew, “You often think it’s a good thing that you’re the older one instead of Key, right?” Nucksal added, “I think everyone thinks that.”

Onew responded honestly, saying, “I’ve thought that a lot. I thought that if I weren’t in SHINee, I wouldn’t have been able to get close to him. He’s a friend who excels in every way.”

Key, always the playful one, quickly jumped in with a smile, saying, “I always say to Onew, ‘I’m glad I’m the younger one! If I were the older one, it would be too overwhelming!’”

Onew didn’t hold back in praising Key, calling him “the kind of friend who takes care of me in a really tsundere-like way”—showing how much he values their bond.

Meanwhile, Amazing Saturday is a fun music variety show where the cast enjoys a song lyric guessing game while exploring delicious food from all over the country.

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
