레전드 기록 갱신이네요 멋진 기록으로 팬으로서 뿌듯해요
Whenever I see news regarding Jin's solo records, I feel that he is truly creating a new legend. The news that he has been on the Billboard Japan Artist 100 chart for a whopping 70 weeks was surprising even for a fan. I felt it was even more meaningful because he has been consistently loved for such a long time, rather than just becoming a hot topic for a brief moment. It felt particularly impressive because I believe that achieving such a record in the Japanese market requires both consistent popularity and the power of a fandom.
It was truly impressive that 'Don't Say You Love Me,' the title track from his second solo mini-album 'Echo,' topped the Spotify Global Chart. I think it holds even greater significance as it is the first song by an Asian artist released in 2025 to reach the top of the global chart. As a fan, I felt incredibly proud to see that Jin's unique sensibility and voice truly resonated with listeners around the world. The emotional nuances are conveyed so delicately when listening to the song, and seeing that resonated with so many people made me feel even prouder.
The news that he has maintained the number one spot on the Japanese Spotify chart for an extended period was truly amazing. The fact that he set a record following BTS's 'Butter' and 'Dynamite' made me realize once again just how strong Jin's solo influence is. Furthermore, the fact that he is the only K-pop solo artist to have two or more songs reach number one on the Spotify Japan Daily Top Songs chart felt truly legendary. It was so cool to see him demonstrate an unrivaled presence not only through group activities but also through his solo work.
It was truly amazing to see that his album records continue to grow. Seeing him consistently appear on both the Oricon Annual Chart and the Billboard Japan Annual Album Sales Chart, it felt like he is an artist who has been loved for a long time, rather than just enjoying fleeting popularity. As a fan, each and every one of these records feels incredibly precious and something to be proud of. Watching Jin continue to achieve great results with his music makes me look forward even more to what new records and news he will share in the future.
