No special marketing, no support, just BTS’ Kim Seokjin making history for 2021 and 2022.
Jin is famous for his silver vocals. True to his name “King of Melon,” he is the most searched for and listened to BTS Soloist on Melon, a South Korean online music store and music streaming service.
In a report by Ten Asia, Jin’s songs surpassed more than 13.2 million streams with his solo hits Epiphany, Awake, and Moon. The most streamed song reaching 7.5 streams is Moon from the album Map of the Soul: 7. It is the longest-charting song, staying on the charts for 233 days.
His song “Super Tuna” hits one month and makes history on TikTok and YouTube. The song remains on the Videos Trending Worldwide Music Category on YouTube. #SuperTuna still trends on TikTok, with over 240.8 million views. It also continues to trend under the Music category on Twitter.
On Twitter, World Music Awards reported that Jin is the first Korean soloist to have two Billboard Hot Trending Songs Chart songs. The Jirisan theme song Yours peaked at number 8 while Super Tuna went up to number 9.
Even when at rest, BTS continues to make history. They’ve been on vacation since December 6, 2021. With the Covid Omicron variant news, fans are worried about the boys’ health and how it will affect their activities. Good news, BigHit Music announced that for now, there’d be no changes for their concert in Seoul in March.
