Jimin just hit a new streaming milestone with his solo single Like Crazy: both the Korean and English versions have now each surpassed 400 million streams on Spotify.
According to label Big Hit Music, this makes the BTS vocalist the first K-pop artist whose one song has two separate language versions, Korean and English, each past the 400 million mark. Coming more than three years after Like Crazy led his debut solo album Face in March 2023, the feat shows how one track can keep rewriting global stats long after its initial chart run.
Jimin’s ‘Like Crazy’ 400 Million Streams Record, Explained
The Korean version of Like Crazy is already a streaming giant on its own, sitting at over 1.4 billion plays on Spotify. The English version recently crossed 400 million streams, with Big Hit confirming the milestone at the end of June.
Taken together, the two versions give Like Crazy more than 1.8 billion plays on the platform, and each version earned its numbers as a separate track, not as a combined total. Big Hit Music and Korean media describe it as the first case in K-pop history where both versions of the same song have individually topped 400 million streams on Spotify.
Jimin is credited on the lyrics and composition of the synth pop track, whose hazy club sound and heartbreak theme translate across both languages. The English cut’s achievement also makes it his fourth solo song to pass 400 million streams, joining the Korean version of Like Crazy, Who, and Set Me Free Pt.2.
From Billboard No.1 to Spotify’s Billions Club
Like Crazy dropped in March 2023 as the title track of Jimin’s first solo album Face. Soon after release, it climbed to No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Top 50 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Jimin the first Korean soloist ever to top the main US singles chart.
The song kept building momentum on streaming. In April 2024, Spotify welcomed the Korean version into its Billions Club at 1 billion streams, the first Korean language song by a solo artist to reach that level and the fastest Korean track to hit 1 billion, in 377 days.
- March 2023: Like Crazy released in Korean and English on Face.
- April 2023: Debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
- April 2024: Korean version reaches 1 billion Spotify streams and joins the Billions Club.
- Mid 2026: Korean version climbs past about 1.46 billion streams.
- Late June 2026: English version surpasses 400 million streams, securing the double 400 million record.
What This Double 400M Means for Jimin and BTS
In K-pop, one language version of a single usually dominates, but Like Crazy has turned both its Korean and English takes into major streaming forces. For US listeners, that means whether fans prefer the original Korean lyrics or the English version, they are contributing to separate milestones that both count in the hundreds of millions.
The numbers also anchor Jimin’s wider solo catalog. His song Who has amassed well over 2.4 billion streams, while Set Me Free Pt.2 has cleared 400 million, giving him multiple high performing tracks beyond Like Crazy. Together, they position him among the most streamed K-pop solo acts on Spotify.
All of this is happening while Jimin is back on stage with BTS, currently on the European leg of the group’s Arirang tour. As the setlists and future solo projects evolve, the double 400 million story of Like Crazy sets a new benchmark for what a BTS member can do on global streaming as both a group performer and a solo artist.
