1. [+1,055, -19] Billboard changed their regulations to keep BTS off their charts and Jimin still managed to get through. Hot 100 #1 with just a solo.
2. [+484, -6] As an older person, I remember obsessing over all the pop singers on these charts and feeling so much respect for them. I could never imagine that I’d be seeing a Korean on not even the Billboard 200 but the Hot 100, and #1 at that! We really are living in BTS’ world! I feel so proud of them.
3. [+264, -6] I knew he’d do well. The song always felt like it’d work in the Anglosphere, and Jimin’s voice just sounds great too. Winning #1 is just hul.
4. [+230, -5] Jimin-ah, congrats on ranking #1 on the Hot 100
5. [+156, -8] Crazy. I knew the song would be liked on the Western side. It’s so good.
6. [+76, -3] Everyone kept saying getting #1 would be hard ever since Billboard changed their regulations to one account but he did it. Truly amazing.
7. [+52, -1] I don’t know much about idols but I saw him on a variety show about water and he seemed like a kind and humble young man. I can’t believe he’s so humble when he’s so world-famous like this~
8. [+38, -1] As someone who works in the industry, this feat is really going to open a lot of doors. Getting #1 on the Hot 100 is almost considered an impossible task. I had a feeling Jimin’s solo was good but it was really good enough to get through to the ears of Westerners as well. Much cheers to Jimin for achieving such an amazing feat.
9. [+37, -0] Living legends~ Jimin has shown that he can achieve #1 on the Billboard by himself~ BTS is a wall both as a group and as solos~
10. [+32, -2] To all of the fandoms who are trying to bring him down with fake resources, wake up. Your singer will never get #1 on the Hot 100 by you behaving like this. While you’re wasting your time trying to bring other groups down, the BTS fandom is focused on supporting only their own artists ㅋㅋ If what you’re claiming is true, that Hybe is buying our own digital sings, then BTS songs would be #1 on the Hot 100 all year long ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just face the reality that your groups aren’t as popular in the US as you want them to be and that your agencies can only do so much.
