As per current standings, there have only been two other solo songs under the BTS discography to have sold over 500k units in the US thus far, one of which is Jimin's. Therefore, two out of the only 3 BTS solo songs to be eligible for RIAA Gold Certification in the US are by Jimin, and this is such an impressive and mind-blowing achievement, considering the fact that Jimin does not even have an official solo debut yet...

So let me get this straight, Park Jimin now got two of his solo songs with over 500K Units Sold in US, one of which was released 5 years back & is the Only Solo of that era to acheive this... And the second one has Legit Two versions released separately 🔥
— j.m || PARK JIMIN¹³ 💃(inactive) (@pjm_jm13) March 3, 2022
HE REALLY DID THAT ‼️
For you all to understand how big is that, Latin songs need only 30.000 copies to be elegible since they aren't in English. And spanish is basically the second language of the country. He did that with Korean songs without playlists, MV or radio. I'm so proud 😭

The way all of Jimin's songs do well tells how people adore all his hard work. People never abandoned any of his songs whether it's a b-side track of BTS albums or his solo releases like Promise or Christmas Love. He is really loved and appreciated as an artist.

Jimin is the only one wo any Spotify page, self studio, empty melon page, no solo activities, no solo promotional works yet he is the most successful & well known worldwide. My man just breaths, sets tons of new records & breaks his own records.
— Tashfia¹³ (@pjmsuperiorr) March 3, 2022
Jimin is currently the ONLY member with 2 b-side solo songs that reached 500k units which means he’s eligible for gold certification on RIAA with his 2 solo songs! The fact that seren has 2 versions meaning it’s harder but he did it anyways, his power is unmatched! Filter next pic.twitter.com/iyy99OdUS2
