Jimin's "Promise" made a surprise drop in 2018 without any notice and crashed SoundCloud, a music sharing platform that was somewhat unfamiliar to general (fan) listeners. It caused a sensation and broke Drake's 4.9 million 24-hour streaming record for "Duppy Freestyle" with a whopping 8.5 million streams.
