BTS's Jimin has done it once again, making history in the UK with his solo song "Who," earning a prestigious BRIT Gold certification!

On the 15th (Korean time), Jimin’s track "Who" reached 400,000 units sold in the UK, officially earning BRIT Gold certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). This incredible achievement comes just 211 days after the song's release on July 19, 2023, and is the first-ever K-pop solo song to earn a Gold certification since PSY's "Gangnam Style."

The BRIT certification considers digital downloads, streaming counts, and physical album sales. To earn a Gold certification, a song needs to sell 400,000 units, with Platinum being 600,000+ and Multi-Platinum reaching 1.2 million units.

What makes this even more impressive is that Jimin achieved this milestone without any collaborations with major artists, setting a new bar in the UK, a notoriously tough market for K-pop acts.

"Who" also made waves on the UK Official Singles Top 100 chart, climbing to #17—its highest ranking yet—marking its 7th week on the chart since entering in July 2023. With a total of 24 weeks on the chart, it set a new record for the longest chart run by a K-pop solo song since the chart's overhaul in 2014.

Jimin now holds the second-longest charting song for all K-pop tracks, behind only BTS's "Dynamite." He's still holding the record for the longest charting solo and group song, proving that his solo career is just as impactful as his group achievements.

"Who" continues to shine on various charts as well, ranking 23rd on the Official Audio Streaming chart and 26th on the Streaming chart. It has stayed in the top 29 for 29 weeks, further solidifying its place as a fan favorite.

And that’s not all—Jimin also earned the Global Artist in Europe award at the 2024 HANTER Music Awards, showing his unstoppable global popularity even during his hiatus. Jimin continues to make waves worldwide, and fans are eagerly awaiting his next moves!
