Proves Global Popularity

BTS member Jimin has once again proven his influence in the global music market by being named a 'Music Platinum Player' by the prominent U.S. media outlet, The Hollywood Reporter.

This is seen as another testament to the global status of K-pop artists.

The Hollywood Reporter recently released its list of "Music Platinum Players: 25 Stars Who Set the Culture Ablaze," featuring Jimin alongside global pop stars such as Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, and Sabrina Carpenter.

The publication highlighted Jimin’s recent musical achievements as the reasons for his inclusion.

It specifically mentioned his album 'MUSE,' released during his military service, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, one of Billboard's main charts.

The article also emphasized that Jimin is the first K-pop artist to have two albums, including his debut solo album 'FACE' released last year, both reach No. 2 on this chart.

Further accolades mentioned include the title track of 'MUSE,' 'Who,' debuting at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Additionally, 'MUSE' topped both the 'Global 200' and 'Global Excl. U.S.' charts, which track streaming and sales data in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.

Jimin’s achievements mark the successful start of BTS’s "Chapter 2," focusing on individual activities.

These accomplishments showcase his musical prowess and global influence, as recognized by multiple major media outlets.

The New York Times selected Jimin’s historic Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 as the only music-related event in its "20 Things That Happened for the First Time in 2023." CNN praised Jimin, stating, "While BTS members have ventured into solo activities, none have achieved success quite like Jimin."

Grammy.com featured Jimin's 'Like Crazy' as one of the "15 K-pop Songs That Defined 2023." Following the release of 'MUSE,' it commented, "Jimin's new album blends personal introspection with standout collaborations, showcasing his artistic growth and versatility," dubbing him the "main pop boy."

Music industry insiders have given positive evaluations of Jimin's achievements.

One insider noted,

"Jimin's success as a solo artist demonstrates both the individual potential and global competitiveness of K-pop artists. It indicates the growth potential of the entire K-pop industry."

Another expert stated, "The solo activities of BTS members serve to strengthen their individual musical identities.

This is a positive phenomenon that adds diversity and depth to K-pop."

Jimin's inclusion as a 'Music Platinum Player' is another indicator that K-pop artists have firmly established themselves in the global music market.

There is growing interest in how the solo activities of Jimin and other BTS members will continue to expand K-pop's global influence and what changes they will bring to the Korean music industry as a whole.
