BTS member Jimin continues to break records, and this time, he’s made an incredible rise on the UK Official Singles Chart, reaching the top 5!

On January 11, Jimin’s title track “Who” from his second solo album MUSE soared 59 spots, landing at #5 on the UK Official Singles Top 100 chart.

This impressive climb marks a major achievement for the song, which originally debuted at #4 back in July 2023.

“Who” has now spent 19 weeks on the chart, setting a new milestone as the longest-charting K-pop solo song on the UK chart in the past decade, ever since the 2014 chart overhaul. It also made history as the first K-pop male solo song to stay in the top 10 for over two weeks.

The Official Chart even took to their social media to congratulate Jimin, saying, "This week, 'Who' recorded the biggest upward movement on the chart, becoming the first K-pop superstar’s single to chart in the top 10 for two weeks. Congrats, king!"

In addition to this, Jimin’s “Who” ranked 8th on the Official Streaming Chart and 11th on the Audio Streaming Chart, breaking his personal best in these categories.

Despite his hiatus for military enlistment, Jimin remains a leading figure in the global K-pop scene, continuing to make waves in the UK, the birthplace of pop music.

Furthermore, “Who” reached a major milestone last year by selling over 200,000 copies in the UK within just 105 days of release.

This earned him a Silver certification (BRIT Certified Silver) from the British Phonographical Industry (BPI) in November, further cementing his influence and success in the international music scene.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
