• GFRIEND’s Special Album Soars to No. 1 on Hanteo Chart for Their 10th Anniversary — Fans Are Loving the ‘Season of Memories’

    GFRIEND is celebrating their 10th anniversary in style, and it’s clear that fans are loving every moment of it!

    On January 14, GFRIEND’s special album Season of Memories took the top spot on the Hanteo Chart, debuting at No. 1 on the daily album chart as of January 13. The excitement is palpable as the group marks a decade since their debut!

    The title track, "우리의 다정한 계절 속에 (Season of Memories)," has been gaining steady traction. Released on January 6, it steadily climbed the charts, even reaching No. 7 on Bugs' real-time chart by 8 AM on January 14.

    But that's not all—GFRIEND has been breaking records and earning even more love from their fans. Their appearance on Dingo Music's Killing Voice is now the third most-viewed video of 2024, a huge accomplishment considering the episode was released in December last year!

    In addition to the new album, GFRIEND is going all out with their 10th-anniversary celebrations. They've been planning for months with Source Music, offering fans new songs, music show appearances, and even a solo tour across multiple cities in Asia.

    GFRIEND will kick off their GFRIEND 10th Anniversary "Season of Memories" concert in Seoul from January 17–19 at the Olympic Hall. After that, they’re taking the excitement on the road, with an Asian tour hitting Osaka, Yokohama, Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, and Taipei in March.

    It’s clear GFRIEND is making their 10th anniversary one to remember.

  • BTS's Jimin Breaks Records in Japan with "Who" as it Earns Prestigious 'Gold' Streaming Certification

    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!
