Jimin's MUSE Album Makes History on Spotify U.S. Charts, Confirms Past Relationship with Actress Song Da-eun
BTS member Jimin's second solo album, MUSE, has achieved a significant milestone by charting on the Spotify U.S. Top Albums list for 50 weeks, a first for a K-pop solo release. The album's lead track, "Who," has been instrumental in its success, garnering 395.94 million filtered plays and becoming the most-streamed K-pop entry on the U.S. chart. "Who" has also topped the Spotify U.S. Daily Top Songs chart without an international feature, maintaining its position for 393 consecutive days.
With over 550 million streams in the U.S., Jimin has set a new record for the highest streams by any K-pop act, solo or group. His album MUSE's continued presence on the chart and the enduring success of "Who" have solidified Jimin's status as one of the leading names in K-pop on Spotify U.S., earning him the title of the "King of K-pop." Fans and netizens alike have celebrated this achievement, praising Jimin's global impact and talent.
In addition to his musical accomplishments, Jimin has been linked romantically to actress Song Da-eun. BIGHIT MUSIC recently addressed the dating rumors surrounding the pair, confirming that they were involved in a relationship several years ago but have since parted ways. This statement marked the first time the agency has officially acknowledged a dating link involving a BTS member, aiming to dispel misinformation and speculation about Jimin's personal life.
Song Da-eun gained recognition through various TV shows, including Heart Signal 2, The Golden Spoon, Once Again, and Dear My Room. While dating rumors involving other BTS members and BLACKPINK's Lisa and Jennie remained unconfirmed, BIGHIT MUSIC's response to Jimin's past relationship with Song Da-eun signifies a new approach to addressing personal matters concerning the group.
