Consequently, he has emerged as the most-streamed Korean individual on Anghami, the first legal music streaming platform in the Arab world, having attained 4 million streams with just four tracks.

Additionally, he released his first self-designed merchandise consisting of a hoodie and a pair of earrings, which were available for pre-order as of January 18th at 11 AM KST. With the much thought he put into the creation of these items coupled with his immense brand power, Jimin's merch sold out in 0.1 seconds, the fastest period for any of the merchandise released so far by the members and on the platform in general.
