"Who" debuted No. 4 on the chart immediately after its release on July 19 last year, and successfully charted for a total of 19 weeks. It set the record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song in the past 10 years since the chart was reformatted in 2014. It is also the first and only K-pop male solo song to chart within the top 10 for two or more weeks.

UK Official Charts announced on their social media account, "#WHO by #JIMIN is this week's biggest gainer on the Official Chart - and becomes the K-pop superstar's first single to spend two weeks inside the Top 10!" and congratulated Jimin, saying, "congrats king."

Jimin has been leading the K-pop craze around the world as K-pop'S Frontman with immense popularity and recognition that has not cooled down even during his hiatus due to military service. He achieved new peaks by ranking No. 8 on the Streaming Chart and No. 11 on the Audio Streaming Chart.

Meanwhile, previously, "Who" demonstrated Jimin's influence by selling over 200,000 copies in the UK by November of last year,  receiving BRIT Silver Certification from the British Phonographical Industry (BPI). It achieved this in 105 days, the fastest for a K-pop artist.
