100 Million Clicks, There’s a Reason

Jimin’s solo song ‘Who’ has surpassed 100 million views on YouTube.The exact time is April 11th, 4:08 PM.The music video for ‘Who’ that has captured the hearts of fans has thus become BTS Jimin’s third 100 million views.

Following ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’, ‘Like Crazy’ and now ‘Who’.This is literally a ‘solo triple home run’.At this point, there’s no other explanation but that YouTube likes Jimin.

‘Who’ was released on July 19, 2024.After debuting at No.14 on Billboard’s ‘Hot 100’, it charted for a whopping 33 consecutive weeks.Jimin has surpassed the 32-week record set by BTS group song ‘Dynamite’ as a soloist.

It also ran for a whopping 28 weeks on the UK Official Singles Chart.This is the longest run by a Korean solo artist since the chart was reorganized in 2014.At this point, I think we should give them the nickname of ‘long-term chart resident’.They also received a ‘Gold’ certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.The global popularity of ‘Who’ transcends time and borders.

Coexistence of sexiness and innocence

‘Who’ sings about the strange feeling of missing ‘someone you’ve never met ‘.The rhythm is bold and sexy, and the lyrics are full of the desperation of “wanting to find true love”.The clash of conflicting emotions is the biggest charm and mystery of this song.

The music video itself is a work of art.Jimin walking alone on the street, scenes of him absentmindedly passing through a crowd, and even vintage cuts that seem to have been shot with a camcorder.The names of the songs on’ MUSE ‘are hidden one by one on the signs in the video, and the’ 1995s TOP love song ‘flyer gently scratches the emotions of the viewers.

Jimin’s unique stage acting and camera movements come together to create a dance cinematic experience.It’s easy to see why fans say, “Jimin’s videos aren’t about playing, they’re about immersion.”
