Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Big news for BTS ARMY and K-pop fans everywhere! BTS's very own Jin has just hit a massive milestone in his solo journey, cementing his place as one of K-pop's most beloved and successful artists.
His latest heart-wrenching single, "Don't Say You Love Me," from his 2025 album "Echo," has done what many dream of: it's become his first-ever solo No. 1 on Spotify worldwide, claiming the top spot on the prestigious Global Top 50 chart.
Released on May 16th, the poignant ballad made a strong debut at No. 9. But fans around the globe clearly couldn't get enough. The song rapidly climbed the charts, pulling in over 5.6 million daily streams and captivating both loyal listeners and new fans alike. Its raw emotion and Jin's signature powerful vocals quickly made it a favorite on international playlists.
With this incredible feat, Jin now joins his talented bandmates Jimin and Jungkook, who previously topped the same chart with their solo hits "Like Crazy," "Standing Next to You," "3D (featuring Jack Harlow)," and "Seven (featuring Latto)." This means BTS has now made history, surpassing One Direction (who had two members reach the top) as the boy band with the most members (three!) to achieve No. 1 solo hits on Spotify's global chart.
Adding another layer to this already impressive achievement, "Don't Say You Love Me" is the only song by an Asian artist to hit the No. 1 spot on Spotify's Global Top 50 in 2025 so far. This really underscores the growing global influence of K-pop and Asian musicians in mainstream music.
Adding to the song's allure is its stunning music video, which features renowned South Korean actress Shin Se Kyung. The video's compelling narrative and the undeniable on-screen chemistry between Jin and Shin Se Kyung have resonated deeply with fans, sparking discussions and countless repeat viewings.
"Don't Say You Love Me" serves as the lead single from Jin's second solo album, "Echo." This album, following his 2024 debut "Happy," offers a deeper, more reflective side of the artist. "Echo" beautifully explores themes of love, grief, and emotional growth, showcasing Jin's continuous development as both a performer and a storyteller.
As fans celebrate Jin's solo triumph, there's also growing excitement for the future. With the remaining members of BTS scheduled to complete their military service in June 2025, the anticipation for their full group reunion is at an all-time high.
