Jimin has been making headlines for various reasons lately despite being on vacation currently, such as his domination of the Arab music market and his unparalleled brand power as his self-designed merch went out of stock in a split second.

Because of his songs' diversity coupled with his honey vocals, impressive range, and colorful tone, his solo songs from different BTS albums continue to receive lots of love from around the globe. Consequently, he has emerged as the most-streamed Korean individual on Anghami, the first legal music streaming platform in the Arab world, having attained 4 million streams with just four tracks.

Additionally, he released his first self-designed merchandise consisting of a hoodie and a pair of earrings, which were available for pre-order as of January 18th at 11 AM KST. With the much thought he put into the creation of these items coupled with his immense brand power, Jimin's merch sold out in 0.1 seconds, the fastest period for any of the merchandise released so far by the members and on the platform in general. The Japan Weverse shop even crashed as the servers got overwhelmed with the high traffic volume as fans battled to get these items for themselves.

Various reputable media outlets in South Korea and internationally have reported on both of these occurrences. Both were further proof of Jimin's impact as an individual artist and as a brand.
