SEOUL, January 28 (AJP) - BTS’ Jin has been named “2025 K-POP Artist” in Mexico for the second consecutive year, underscoring his rising solo profile in a country where even the president has publicly appealed for additional BTS concert dates on behalf of young fans.
The title was awarded by House Radio, Mexico’s leading digital pop music station, as Jin’s solo work continues to gain momentum ahead of BTS’ full-group comeback.
Jin’s global reach has been led by “Don’t Say You Love Me,” which has amassed 795.56 million streams on Spotify, marking the strongest international performance of his solo career and signaling sustained long-term listener engagement rather than a short-lived spike.
The song’s impact extended beyond streaming platforms. At the BreakTudo Awards 2025 in São Paulo, it won “International Hit of the Year,” drawing heightened attention from Latin American fans and industry observers.
Beyond charts and trophies, “Don’t Say You Love Me” has been widely noted for its emotional depth. International reviews have pointed to its exploration of relationship uncertainty and the difficulty of letting go, with Rolling Stone India highlighting the track’s melancholic tone and K-drama-style narrative in its music video.
House Radio’s year-end rankings further reflected Jin’s presence in the Mexican market. He placed three songs on its list of the “50 Most Important Songs of 2025,” led by “Don’t Say You Love Me” at No. 4, followed by “Running Wild” at No. 5 and “I’ll Be There” at No. 19.
