Jimin of BTS added a trophy at the '2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.'
On the 17th (local time), Jimin won the 'K-POP SONG OF THE YEAR' institutional sector with the title track 'Who' from his second solo album 'MUSE' at the '2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards' held in Los Angeles, United States. After winning as part of the group for seven consecutive years since 2018, Jimin captured his first trophy as a solo artist this year.
The 'iHeartRadio Music Awards' is a music awards show hosted by iHeartRadio, an American online radio broadcast corporation, since 2014. The awards honor the artists and songs that were most played on iHeartRadio's broadcast and application over the past year.
'Who' entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart shortly after its release in July last year and has remained on the chart for a total of 32 weeks to date. This is the longest chart run for a K-pop solo artist. The song that has spent the longest time on that chart among group songs is BTS's 'Dynamite' (32 weeks). Thus, Jimin set the record for the longest chart run in both group and solo activities.
Additionally, 'Who' has surpassed 1.5 billion cumulative streams on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform (as of the February 26 chart). According to Spotify's recently announced '2024 Wrapped' settlement of account campaign, this song was the most streamed K-pop song worldwide last year and was the most listened to track by Korean users.
