It is not a surprise that 'Like Crazy', Jimin's solo debut lead single, has achieved astronomical success levels, sweeping historical records on music charts all over the world since its release. The public, including fans and non-fans of Jimin and/or BTS, received the song very warmly and positively for its unique sound, catchy melody, deep and touching lyrics, and captivating choreography, among many other qualities that made the song to really stand out.

There have been praises constantly pouring out for the song every time that a social media discourse comes up regarding K-pop songs, and these praises and appreciation for 'Like Crazy' are not limited to any specific demographic; 'Like Crazy' really did resonate with everyone around the world irrespective of their social interests and demographic profiles. 

One such discourse has recently emerged where a K-pop fan made a thread of different K-pop songs released this year, and people were to give their thoughts on each song. Jimin's 'Like Crazy' and 'Set Me Free Pt.2' were both included in the thread, and within a short time, both of his songs had attracted the highest engagements in terms of likes, reposts, quotes, and views. They were the only 2 songs in the thread with over a million views, 'Set Me Free Pt.2' with 1 Million and 'Like Crazy' with over 4 Million in just a few hours. The thread has continued to gain traction among locals, fans of anime, and the K-pop world in general. As of now, both have maintained a lead in engagements, with 'Set Me Free Pt.2' amassing over 1.3 Million views and 'Like Crazy' soaring past a whooping 7.3 Million views!

In fact, it is not the first time that something like this has happened. 'Like Crazy' usually attracts the most attention whenever such discussions are held.

Such is the impact that Jimin has made in the K-pop and the music world in general with his ingenuity, talent, and skills.

Below are some of the comments on the post's quotes, some from non-BTS K-pop fans, fans of anime, non-Jimin-biased ARMYs, and locals. Many stated that this is the song that got them into K-pop, others showed that the song is already their most streamed song of all time on Spotify even though they are not fans of K-pop or not BTS fans.

Thanks to all this attention, 'Like Crazy's' daily streams and even monthly listeners on Spotify increased!

'Set Me Free Pt.2' also had numerous positive remarks and here are some.

Without a doubt, Jimin's talent and skills are to be envied. This is why fans are even more eager for his future projects that will undoubtedly see his solo career soar even higher!

What a click bait.

You claimed anime fans or anime community.

None of the post on top show that anime community or anime fans making statements that they become army and got into Kpop because of BTS's Jimin. It's just your local western people on TWITTER.

I mean, in the world, ofc Jimin is "someone".

But for anime community, well, if Jimin's Like Crazy having popularity in anime community as crazy as Yoasobi's Idol that even Yoasobi was invited to perform in Mnet's Countdown... It's miracles. You're allowed to use that title and make such articles IF EVER this condition were fulfilled : those weaboo especially wifey AND husbando lover make one whole video on Youtube admitting, story telling, showing the chronological history and journey of how they got into Kpop because of Jimin's Like Crazy. The declaration video at least 10 minutes, and Japanese idols also learn and performes Like Crazy dance challenge.

Anyway, I specifically mentioned Yoasobi, because the anime, Oshi no Ko, really shows how the idol and entertainment industry works.
