"SOLO" by #JENNIE has surpassed 500 Million streams on Spotify and is the FIRST SOLO SONG by a Korean soloist to achieve this!

It is also the MOST STREAMED SONG by a Korean female soloist. pic.twitter.com/nE1pKGiic3
This new achievement is added to those already accumulated by Jennie in her debut several years ago, at a time when Kpop was not as globally known as it is today, and even so it had marked historical milestones for any Korean soloist during those times.




Congratulations to BLACKPINK's Jennie!
Most streamed song by a Korean soloist? Jungkook of BTS has a song aiming for 700M streams. I think it's most streamed song by a "female" Korean soloist and first SOLO song to reach 500M.
