He later ranked No. 30 with "Set Me Free Pt. 2" and No. 1 with "Like Crazy," both off his debut solo album "Face" released the same year.
With "Like Crazy," in particular, he became the first K-pop soloist to top the chart.
"Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" landed at No. 46 on the British Official Singles Top 100 chart on Friday (British time), also becoming Jimin's fifth solo single to enter the chart.
The song incorporates big band sounds with the hip-hop genre, where Jimin's refreshing vocals are harmonized with K-pop artist Loco's rap.
It will be included in the artist's upcoming second solo album "Muse" due out at 1 p.m. on July 19. The seven-track album explores the theme of love and the journey of finding inspiration, according to BigHit Music, the agency of the K-pop septet.
