On September 9, 2023, according to Jimin Data on X (formerly known as Twitter), BTS Jimin's solo song , Like Crazy , surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify, becoming the fastest Korean song to achieve this feat. The song has reached that streaming level in just 166 days, breaking BTS & Coldplay's My Universe record of 177 days.
Previously, BLACKPINK's Lisa's MONEY held the record of reaching 500 million streams in 309 days. BTS's Jimin favorite solo songs, Serendipity and Lie, were released 6 and 7 years ago respectively. Fans took to X to celebrate the anniversary. Many hashtags started trending related to the singer and the two songs.
Serendipity is a calmer and more beautiful song, while Lie is darker and grittier. Both the song plus Filter sold 500,000 units in the US and now all of Jimin's solo songs, including those on the BTS album, have received gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
It also shows a blend of extraordinary, mysterious, and melodic charm, and is a stunning exhibition that shows the peak of extraordinary vocals and creativity, enough to be known as a presentation work that transcends K-pop. It has wowed fans and many artists even years after its release. It is a source of inspiration and a textbook for idols.
Recently, Jimin went to a Dior event in Seoul and posted it, going live on Weverse after a long time. Because it's been so long, fans were excited to hear him speak. The first thing he did was solve the mystery of his bruised knuckles, which were visible during the event. He said that it came from his training when he took up boxing as a new hobby.
He was giggling and happy to talk to ARMY after a long time. He even showed his other rooms such as his practice room and bedroom. He said that he had to decorate it more because his parents thought the house looked too empty and like a good boy, he added more equipment to the empty room.
