What Is Jimin’s ‘Who’?
‘Who’ is a song by South Korean singer Jimin of BTS, released on July 19, 2024, as the lead single from his second studio album MUSE through Big Hit Music. The music video shows Jimin performing in an abandoned warehouse in front of a neon sign, flanked by a troupe of dancers, with a moody and introspective tone that resonated deeply with fans and casual listeners alike worldwide.
The song explores the feeling of missing someone you have never actually met, a deeply emotional concept that connected across languages and cultures. That universal quality goes a long way toward explaining why it has continued to accumulate views more than a year and a half after its release.
How Did Fans React to the 150M Views Milestone?
The announcement spread rapidly across platforms. Fan accounts including Jimin Global (@JiminGlobal) confirmed the milestone on X (formerly Twitter) on March 7, 2026, with the post accumulating thousands of views within hours. On Instagram and Threads, fan communities celebrated with congratulatory messages in multiple languages, reflecting the genuinely international reach of Jimin’s fanbase. Comments from ARMYs ranged from fans in Korea writing in Korean to supporters in South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia all joining the celebration simultaneously.
Fans are already pushing toward the next target. Comments on the YouTube video itself include calls to reach 200 million views before Jimin’s birthday, showing that the streaming push remains very much active well into 2026.
The Record-Breaking Billboard Journey of ‘Who’
The 150 million views milestone does not exist in isolation. ‘Who’ has been one of the most statistically significant songs in K-pop history since the moment it launched, and the chart records it broke along the way tell that story clearly.
| Chart | Achievement |
| Billboard Global 200 | Debuted at No. 1; spent two consecutive weeks at the top |
| Billboard Global Excl. US | Debuted at No. 1; spent two consecutive weeks at the top; 83 weeks on chart as of March 2026 (longest ever for a K-pop solo non-collaboration) |
| Billboard Hot 100 | Debuted at No. 14; peaked at No. 12; charted for 33 weeks |
| Billboard Hot 100 Year-End 2024 | No. 57; highest position for a K-pop male solo artist |
| Billboard Streaming Songs Year-End | No. 74 (2024); No. 29 (2025) |
| UK Official Singles Chart | Debuted at No. 4; charted for 28 weeks |
| Digital Song Sales | Earned Jimin a record sixth No. 1, the most among K-pop solo artists |
| Spotify | Surpassed 2 billion streams in September 2025 |
‘Who’ debuted at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Jimin’s sixth entry on the chart as a solo artist and the second-highest debut of his career. It was both the highest-charting new entry and the best-selling song of its release week, topping the Digital Song Sales chart and earning Jimin a record sixth number-one on that ranking, the most among K-pop solo artists.
‘Who’ also spent 33 total weeks on the Hot 100, tying BTS’s ‘Dynamite’ to become one of the longest-charting Hot 100 hits by K-pop acts in history.
‘Who’ ranked No. 57 on the year-end Hot 100, marking the highest position achieved by a song from a K-pop male solo artist on the year-end chart. It is the first and only K-pop solo track without any collaborations to enter the year-end Hot 100 since Psy’s ‘Gangnam Style’ in 2012.
‘Who’ and the 100M to 150M Journey
The music video officially surpassed 100 million views on April 11, 2025 (KST), reaching that milestone in just eight months and 23 days from its release. ‘Who’ became Jimin’s third solo music video to achieve this view count, following ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’ and ‘Like Crazy’.
From 100 million to 150 million, the MV took approximately another 11 months, confirming that the song has maintained consistent long-term streaming momentum rather than experiencing a sharp drop-off after its initial launch period. That kind of sustained traction is rare even for major global releases, and it reflects both the quality of the track and the dedication of Jimin’s fanbase in keeping it alive across platforms.
Notably, ‘Who’ also crossed 2 billion streams on Spotify in September 2025, a milestone that underlines just how far the song has reached beyond YouTube alone. Together, the Spotify and YouTube numbers paint the picture of a song that has genuinely embedded itself into global listening habits long after its release week buzz faded.
Awards Won for ‘Who’
Beyond YouTube and Billboard, ‘Who’ also brought Jimin significant industry recognition during its chart run.

| iHeartRadio Music Awards | K-pop Song of the Year (March 18) |
| RIAJ (Japan) | Gold certification in the streaming category |
Jimin’s Broader Solo Legacy
The 150 million views milestone on ‘Who’ adds to what is already an exceptional solo track record for Jimin. He is the only K-pop artist with multiple solo songs that have each sustained 50-week runs on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts, a distinction that places him in a category entirely his own within the genre.
Jimin became the first-ever Asian artist to have two songs with 50-week streaks on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts. His first song to achieve this was ‘Like Crazy’, which fronted his first solo album ‘Face’ and is the first song ever from a K-pop solo artist to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
By March 2026, ‘Who’ had spent 83 weeks on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart, making it the longest-charting K-pop solo non-collaboration in the history of that ranking, a record that no other solo K-pop artist has come close to matching. Together, ‘Like Crazy’ and ‘Who’ form a two-song body of evidence that Jimin’s solo career is not simply riding BTS’s coattails but building its own distinct and lasting global footprint.
Where to Watch and Stream ‘Who’
Fans can watch the ‘Who’ Official MV directly on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel, where it now sits at over 150 million views. The song is available to stream across all major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music as part of the full MUSE album.
