BOYNEXTDOOR (members Seongho, Liu, Myung Jae Hyun, Taesan, Lee Han, and Woonhak) is all set to release a Japanese version of their hit song One and Only I LOVE YOU! The Japanese single, titled 今日だけ I LOVE YOU (Kyōdake I LOVE YOU), will drop digitally on January 31, giving fans another reason to celebrate.

One and Only I LOVE YOU quickly became a sensation after its Korean release on January 6. Dubbed the “MZ breakup anthem,” the track perfectly combines emotional, relatable lyrics with an upbeat melody, capturing the hearts of listeners everywhere. It gained massive popularity in South Korea, climbing to No. 4 on Melon’s “Top 100” chart just a day after its release. It later peaked at No. 20 on the daily chart and secured No. 32 on the weekly chart from January 6–12, marking a new personal best for the group.

The song didn’t just dominate in Korea—it also made waves in Japan. It debuted at No. 8 on the Oricon Daily Digital Single Ranking, making it the highest debut ever for a 5th-generation K-pop boy group. It also topped Line Music’s “Daily Top Songs” chart on January 9, proving the group’s growing influence in the region.

But that’s not all! BOYNEXTDOOR is keeping their Japanese fans engaged with a special pop-up store event. The BOYNEXTDOOR POP-UP STORE ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1’ will feature exclusive merchandise and fun items related to their adorable mascot, “Ppeunectdo.” The pop-up will be open in Tokyo from January 25 to February 5 and in Osaka from February 1 to February 9.

On top of their single release and pop-up events, BOYNEXTDOOR will be embarking on their first-ever solo tour in Japan! The BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1’ kicks off on January 30 in Tokyo, with stops in Aichi, Osaka, Miyagi, Fukuoka, and Kanagawa. The tour will include 12 performances across six cities, giving fans plenty of chances to see the group live.

BOYNEXTDOOR continues to show their potential as one of the leading 5th-generation K-pop groups. With their viral hits, exciting events, and upcoming tour, 2025 is shaping up to be their year.

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!
