BTS member Jimin has secured another prestigious award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.



On March 17 (local time), at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2025 in Los Angeles, USA, Jimin won "K-pop Song of the Year" with "Who", the title track from his second solo album MUSE.



Having won awards at this ceremony as part of BTS for seven consecutive years since 2018, this marks his first solo win at the event. The iHeartRadio Music Awards, hosted by iHeartRadio, a major U.S. online radio network, has been recognizing the most-played artists and songs on its radio stations and app since 2014.



Jimin’s track "Who" made history by entering the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release in July 2024 and has remained on the chart for 32 weeks, making it the longest-charting K-pop solo song in history. Previously, the longest-charting K-pop group song on the Hot 100 was BTS’s "Dynamite" (32 weeks), meaning Jimin now holds the record for the longest-charting song in both group and solo categories.



Additionally, "Who" has surpassed 1.5 billion streams on Spotify (as of February 26, 2025). According to Spotify Wrapped 2024, the song was the most-streamed K-pop track globally and the most-played song in South Korea last year.



With this latest win, Jimin continues to solidify his global impact as a solo artist, proving his immense popularity beyond BTS.
