[News] BTS Jimin's solo song "Promise" has brought about a worldwide wave of emotional promises

BTS Jimin's self-produced solo song "Promise," which has been breaking records day after day and becoming a hot topic, has surpassed the record for the fastest 24-hour stream on SoundCloud and is currently running towards 20 million streams, surpassing 18 million.

The editor-in-chief of Elite Daily in the US showed her meticulous attention by posting a link and a screenshot, saying, "I can't help but pay attention to the sweet part in the latter half of the song," while a Billboard columnist said, "I'm so intoxicated by the atmosphere of the music that I've been listening to it on repeat all day," showing that he was deeply immersed in "Promise."

However, what is more noteworthy is the powerful impact of the message of "Promise." When BTS Jimin released the song on December 31st, he said, "This song is for me, but it's also a song for you," letting his fans know that he had a message he wanted to convey.



Before the song's release, he revealed his New Year's resolution in an interview, saying, "I hope I can keep the promises I made to myself."

Despite his busy schedule, Jimin reportedly worked hard on writing and composing "Promise" since April of last year. The latter half of the lyrics of "Promise" are uniquely varied with Jimin's signature sweet vocals, concluding with these lines as if to soothe the heart:

"Now promise me / Even if you feel alone several times a day / Don't leave you / Stop here for a moment / Link your pinky fingers / Now promise me"

Jimin's song, with its sophisticated and sensual melody and his soft voice, conveys the hope that even if you are in pain, it will get better soon and the warm message of "Promise to cherish and love yourself," comforting and soothing the hearts of those who listened to "Promise."

Fans around the world who sympathized with this began sharing photos of themselves making the pinky promise on social media, vowing to love their selves.

A fan who had long wandered due to emotional pain promised to take care of her health, find her own path, and live again. She also posted a touching message, "Thank you, Jimin," drawing an outpouring of encouragement and comfort from fans around the world.

Furthermore, pledges like, "I love myself and promise to never give up on myself, no matter what. Thank you for teaching me this," and "I will never give up on myself. From now on, I promise," continue to be shared around the world. This is a beautiful example of the emotional impact of BTS Jimin's song, "Promise."

One of the reasons why the US and international music media are reporting new records day after day is likely the natural result of global fans passionately empathizing with Jimin's music, which sincerely connects with and comforts fans.

Meanwhile, BTS will attend the 33rd Golden Disc Awards to be held at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 6th.
