Jimin of BTS has received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for his song, “Who,” the organization announced Monday.
This is the first time he has achieved the feat on his own with a single, and the second time overall with his solo work. His first solo EP, “Face,” went platinum in Japan in 2023, logging 250,000 shipments in the country.
“Who” fronted his second solo album, “Muse,” which had generated 100 million streams as of July to receive a gold certification.
The R&B hip-hop number was the most-streamed K-pop song in Japan in 2025, ranking No. 10 on Spotify Japan’s year-end list of top tracks. It also made Billboard Japan’s Annual Hot 100 at No. 73. Jimin was the only Korean male singer on the list.
Meanwhile, the city of Los Angeles announced a “BTS Week” welcoming the septet, who will have four shows at SoFi Stadium starting Tuesday and continuing Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
