But its so crazy when you think about it tho
Ever since 2023 started and in only a couple of months, Jimin went from being:
01 ) "--the only BTS member yet to debut in Hot100" to not only having multiple entries, but also becoming "The First Korean Soloist to get a #01 spot" (with a KOREAN title track with no collab or features) and "2nd Asian SOLOIST to achieve this feat in 60+ years".
[And don't even come at me with no bullshit, 'cause despite being pushed off the first spot by Billboard making an impromptu (bullshit) change in the rules the following week, he STILL remained INSIDE the chart for 4-5 more weeks, where others plunged after the first week of debuting in it. So SUCK IT & let it go already.]
02 ) From being (ALLEGEDLY as said by antis) the "most inactive member" - to becoming GLOBAL Brand Ambassador for 2 luxury brands (Dior x Tiffany&Co), traveling constantly for multiple projects, activities, photoshoots, ect... while attracting the biggest crowds.
03 ) His name now credited at the end of TWO Hollywood movies for two songs: "Friends" (written and produced by Jimin, also appears on the MOTS7 album, was used for Marvels' Eternals) And now "Angel Pt. 1" (first western collab where he is featured along with 4 artists for the Fast & Furious saga).
04) His EP debut album, FACE, despite having the shortest promo time; 9 days (where others had months or weeks) and only 4-6 tracks (counting both the english ver of Like Crazy and the hidden track Letter) was not only the MOST anticipated solo album. It also broke MULTIPLE records WORLD WIDE (some of them had been held by PSY since 'Gangnam Style', which says a lot because this song came out when I was still in college LOL) and continues to do so just 1 and a half months after dropping (and it will continue to break more as we near JIMTOBER). His pre-release "Set Me Free Pt. 2" debuted at #30 on BBHot100 and the title track "Like Crazy" gifted him his first #01 on the chart as a soloist.
05 ) From being the LAST member to have a Spotify account - to becoming the fastest K-Pop soloist to reach 1 BILLION STREAMS on the platform (393 days).
And he achieved a great deal of it with little to NO support at all from his company...who were also responsible for most of the sabotage he endured.
Everything else was just him, his talent, good music and the Rock Solid Fans who adore him around the world.
WITH JIMIN TILL THE END.
