Jimin has done it again. The man didn’t just climb to the top—he strolled past the summit, waved at his own group on the way up, and planted a solo flag there. As of August 11, 2025, he is officially the most-streamed K-pop act in U.S. Spotify history, clocking in at a mind-blowing 546 million streams. That’s one million more than BTS themselves, who hold a still-mighty 545 million. Yes, Jimin is now looking down from the top of a mountain BTS built.
Here’s the kicker—he did it with just 34 solo tracks. Thirty-four. That’s fewer than the number of times BTS has had to explain to interviewers that no, they’re not breaking up. Yet, somehow, with a mix of gut-punch ballads, boundary-pushing pop, and collaborations that could melt Spotify’s servers, he’s outpaced the very band that made him a household name.
Naturally, ARMYs and PJMs (Park Jimin’s devoted fanbase) lit up social media. The tone was clear: pure pride with a hint of “and we told you so.” Some fans even pointed out that Jimin’s achievement came with zero industry shortcuts—no “payola,” no backroom boosts—just organic streaming power and relentless dedication from listeners.
If you’re wondering which tracks pulled the heaviest weight, look no further than “Who,” “Like Crazy,” “Set Me Free Pt. 2,” “With You,” and “Closer Than This.” And while every one of them is a streaming powerhouse, “Who” deserves its own shrine. Released in July 2024 as part of his second solo album Muse, it didn’t just top charts—it rewrote records. It became the longest-charting song by a Korean artist on the Billboard Hot 100, snatching that crown from BTS’s own “Dynamite.” By February 2025, it had passed 1.5 billion Spotify streams and still wasn’t slowing down.
So here we are: BTS still reigns as the unstoppable cultural force that reshaped the music world, and Jimin—one-seventh of that force—just proved he can hold his own at the very top. It’s not a rivalry. It’s not a betrayal. It’s family bragging rights at their finest.
And let’s be honest—if anyone was going to surpass BTS, it was always going to be one of them. And in true Jimin fashion, he didn’t just surpass. He did it gracefully, stylishly, and with the kind of quiet confidence that makes history feel inevitable.
