“Gangnam Style,” one of the earliest K-pop global hits, had held the previous record at 31 weeks in 2012.

Jimin’s “Who” also tied the record set by BTS’s “Dynamite” (2020) which also had held a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 32 weeks, making Jimin the artist with the longest-charting song both as a soloist and a K-pop band member on Billboard Hot 100.
