The 'Danmee' survey, aimed at conveying the vivid voices of local K-pop fans, selects candidates based on the number of votes and voting percentages from previous surveys, as well as SNS responses. To ensure a rigorous survey, each individual can only vote once per day.
In this particular poll, Jimin secured 15,781 votes out of a total of 41,267 votes, winning with a vote share of 38.24%. This marks his triumphant achievement of claiming the top spot for three consecutive months since February. The media outlet vividly conveyed the enthusiastic response of fans towards Jimin along with the announcement of the survey results.
Additionally, Jimin made history as the first Korean solo artist to reach the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with his song "Like Crazy." In response to this accomplishment, Jimin expressed his gratitude to fans on his Instagram, stating, "Love u all" accompanied by a purple heart.
Jimin's first solo album, 'FACE,' reached an impressive 7th place on the Oricon chart, the highest ranking for a Korean solo artist in history. He has also achieved platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), proving his hot popularity in the Japanese music market with his outstanding performance in the first half of 2023.
