SEOUL, March 28 (Yonhap) -- BTS Jimin’s solo second album title track Who has received a Streaming Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), his agency announced on Friday. 

 

Who surpassed 50 million cumulative streams as of February, earning the Gold certification in the streaming category, according to BigHit Music. 

 

The RIAJ grants certifications based on cumulative streams: Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for 500 million. 

 

This marks Jimin's first time receiving a Gold certification for a solo song from the RIAJ. Previously, he achieved Gold certifications for unit tracks Dimple (with Jin, V, and Jungkook) and Friends (a duet with V).

 

Who is an English hip-hop R&B track that conveys the yearning and emotional turmoil of missing someone never met.

 

Since its release in July last year, the song remained on the Billboard Hot 100 for a total of 33 weeks, setting the record for the longest-charting K-pop song in history.
