So far, BTS has been the only K-pop singer to hold the No. 1 record on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. There are a total of six songs, including the hit song "Dynamite" released in 2020 and "My Universe" in 2021.

Through "Like Crazy," Jimin became the first Korean solo artist to top Billboard's "Hot 100." Billboard's "Hot 100" is considered the most influential pop music chart in the world. Since Wonder Girls first ranked 76th with "Nobody" in 2009, numerous Korean singers have challenged "Hot 100." As a solo artist, Psy's "Gangnam Style," which was popular as a syndrome in 2012, ranked second for seven consecutive weeks.
Jimin released his first official solo album "Face" on the 24th of last month. The album sold 1.02 million copies on its first day of release. Since Hanteo Chart began its initial tally, it became the first K-pop solo artist album to become a "million seller" on the first day.
"Like Crazy" is the album's title track. It is a synth-pop genre song, inspired by Jimin's favorite movie of the same name and participated in the song. The lyrics are about finding the person you loved in your dream and losing yourself trapped in colorful lights, but nevertheless, you want to stay in your dream forever.
Jimin said on the fan community platform Weverse Live that day, "I don't know what to say because I don't really feel it," adding, "It's possible because it's all BTS, and it's possible because of ARMY (BTS fan club). "I felt more how much ARMY is waiting for BTS," he said. He also said, "I'm very proud and happy because I didn't work hard."
BTS' RM, J-Hope, and Suga also sent congratulatory messages to Jimin. The agency Big Hit Music said on its official Twitter account, "It's an unbelievable number one."
Starting with a concert to host the 2030 Busan World Expo in October last year, BTS has completed its "complete activities" and is focusing on solo activities. Jin is serving in the military, and J-Hope is also about to join the army. It is expected that the members will resume their group activities in 2025, when they complete their military service.
