    Billboard announced the news in a preview of this week's chart, shared on the social media X on Monday (U.S. time). This marks the singer's sixth solo entry on the prestigious chart.

    "Who" is the lead single from the singer's second solo album, Muse.

    The achievement is particularly impressive given that it was attained with minimal promotional activities beyond a prerecorded performance for NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon .

    Jimin is currently performing his military duty in South Korea.

    The album Muse debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, according to a chart preview released by Billboard on Sunday. This marks Jimin's second solo album to enter the chart, following his debut solo project, Face.

    Jimin first entered the Hot 100 at No. 76 with the collaboration "Vibe" with BIGBANG's Taeyang last year. He subsequently charted with "Set Me Free Pt. 2" at No. 30 and "Like Crazy" at No. 1. The latter achievement made Jimin the first K-pop soloist to top the Hot 100.
