BTS's Jimin is making waves again, and this time, it’s for breaking a huge record on the Billboard Hot 100!

On January 21st (local time), Billboard took a moment to celebrate the unprecedented achievement set by Jimin. In a feature about non-English songs reaching the top 10 on the 'Hot 100,' Billboard highlighted Jimin's hit track "Like Crazy" from his solo album FACE.

Billboard revealed that in its 67-year history, only 39 non-English songs have ever made it to the top 10 on the Hot 100, and just 10 of them have ever claimed the number one spot. Among these, BTS's "Life Goes On," the BTS and Coldplay collaboration "My Universe," and Jimin’s "Like Crazy" are the only Korean songs to have topped the chart.

What’s even more impressive? Jimin’s "Like Crazy" is the ONLY Korean solo song in history to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This makes Jimin the first Korean solo artist ever to claim this spot, cementing his place as a true superstar and putting BTS in the same league as legendary groups like The Beatles and The Supremes with multiple number-one hits!

Thanks to this massive achievement, Jimin has earned global recognition. American media outlet SINGERSROOM named him the "Most Famous Singer in Korea," while Interview 365 picked him as one of their top 10 "Good People" in their 33rd edition. Plus, he was included in The New York Times' list of "20 Things That Happened for the First Time in 2023," which only highlights how big his success truly is.

But Jimin's achievements don't stop there. In the same week he topped the Hot 100, he also claimed the number-one spot on the Billboard Artist 100 chart. He’s now one of only nine Korean artists to ever do this – and the only solo artist among them.

Jimin is proving time and time again that he’s an international powerhouse, and fans can’t wait to see what he does next.

Big news has rocked the drama world! Director Lee Byung Hun has officially stepped down from the director’s chair for the upcoming Netflix series Everything Will Come True, starring Kim Woo Bin and Suzy.

Reports from the broadcasting industry on January 27 revealed that Lee Byung Hun left the project last year during filming due to personal reasons.

The production team confirmed the news, stating, “It is true that Director Lee Byung Hun left the project due to personal reasons.” After his exit, PD Ahn Gil Ho, who directed the hit Netflix series The Glory, stepped in to lead the project.

Despite Lee Byung Hun’s departure, Everything Will Come True wrapped up all its filming by the end of October 2024.

Fans are still eagerly awaiting this romantic comedy that tells the story of Genie (played by Kim Woo Bin), who holds the power to control life and death, and Ga Young (played by Suzy), who lacks emotions.

The two characters make three wishes that could change their fate in ways they never imagined—bringing either fortune or punishment.

The buzz around the project has been huge, thanks to its writer Kim Eun Sook, the mastermind behind iconic dramas like Secret Garden, The Heirs, Goblin, Descendants of the Sun, and Mr. Sunshine.

Fans were excited about the combination of Kim Eun Sook’s storytelling and Lee Byung Hun’s directing talent. Everything Will Come True was one of the most anticipated Netflix releases for 2025.

Currently, the drama is in post-production, with a lot of technical work and CGI still to be done. The team behind the show is putting in extra effort to make sure it’s the best release of the year, with specialists from various fields working together to complete it.

Stay tuned for updates, as Everything Will Come True is set to release later this year!
