Jimin enlisted with Jungkook on December 12, 2023, serving in the 5th Infantry Division. Like the other BTS members, Jimin released a solo album in July of the same year, before his enlistment, and of course, achieved impressive achievements and records.

However, it is worth noting that even while he was in the military, Jimin's solo career continued and had strong support from fans.

His second solo album, Muse, and the lead single, Who, released half a year later, both achieved great success. In terms of digital sales, "Who" ended 2024 at the top of the list of best-selling K-pop songs in the US.

Earlier this year, Jimin became the first and only K-pop solo artist to reach 200 days on Spotify's "Daily Top Artists" chart in the US. “Who” even broke his own record by being in the “K-pop Top 10” for 17 consecutive weeks.

In addition, on the “Daily Top Songs” chart, “Who” has maintained 169 consecutive days since its release, of which 111 days were in the Top 10, the longest record for a song by an Asian artist. The album “Muse” also achieved an impressive achievement when it was on the “Weekly Top Albums” chart for 24 consecutive weeks, including 8 weeks in the Top 15, becoming the first and only K-pop solo album to achieve this feat.

With this, Jimin also became the first and only K-pop solo artist to reach over 400 million streams in the history of the US Spotify chart, excluding repeat streams.

With these countless achievements of Jimin and his music, it shows how great and everlasting the support of fans for him is, despite the hiatus due to military service. Jimin also expressed his deep gratitude to his fans for their love for him.

Recently, a hairdresser shared about Jimin's thought about fans related to the success of his solo song Who during his military service. The barber is said to have spent time with the idol during a visit.

He revealed that Jimin was surprised and touched by the unending support he continues to receive: “He felt his fans' love and saw how Who didn't fall off the Billboard chart even while he was in MS. ‘What even am I?'... Fans' money is precious. I’m just so thankful they like me this much.'"

Although the exact content of the conversation was not revealed, through the short sharing, it can be seen that Jimin appreciates every contribution of fans to his musical achievements. He also understands how much effort, money, and time his fans have devoted to those achievements.

Fans responded online with emotional messages that he deserves the love of his fans:

- He’s so precious, he knows his FANs love him so much. Let’s stream harder and vote harder to show him how proud we are and we’d give him the world

- I’ve never felt so appreciated and so seen by an artist as I do with Jimin. The humble way in which he shows his deep care and concern for his fans always motivates me to support him as much as possible. I love he has seen his global success while serving. That’s all I’ve wanted

Jimin has donated multiple times, including 100 million KRW to military-related charities and educational funds.

That's why his fans always support his music and values, honoring him as a global pop star!
