Jimin first entered the Hot 100 at No. 76 with the collaboration "Vibe" with BIGBANG's Taeyang last year. He subsequently charted with "Set Me Free Pt. 2" at No. 30 and "Like Crazy" at No. 1. The latter achievement made Jimin the first K-pop soloist to top the Hot 100.
In addition to his Hot 100 success, "Who" also topped the Global 200, Global Excl. U.S. and Digital Song Sales charts, according to Billboard.
