BTS' Jimin has set a milestone by charting on major charts for 33 consecutive weeks as the only Korean solo artist to top Billboard's "Artist 100."
Jimin was the only Korean solo artist to be named along with Rihanna, Drake, and Ed Sheeran, following Taylor Swift, Morgan Whelan, and Olivia Rodrigo, who topped Billboard's "Artist 100" chart in 2023, released by music media "About MusicYT."
Jimin topped Billboard's "Artist 100" chart in the 14th week of this year (April 8), the first Korean solo artist to have a history and a unique record that has never been broken, proving Jimin's high popularity and overwhelming presence in the U.S., the home of pop.
In addition, Jimin reached the top of "Hot 100" with "Like Crazy" and achieved 1 million units in August, receiving platinum certification (certification submitted by the association) from the American Recording Industry Association (RIAA), and wrote the first and best record of a Korean solo artist in the absence of large-scale advertisements or radio promotions.
In addition, according to the latest chart released by Billboard on November 18, "Like Crazy" is currently ranked 96th in the "Global 200," up 14 notches from last week, expanding the record of K-pop soloists, the longest chart on the chart.
"Global (excluding the U.S.)" ranked 58th with a huge background, rising 18 places vertically from last week, breaking the record for the longest Korean solo song released this year for 33 consecutive weeks.
On the "World Album" chart, "FACE" rose one notch from last week, ranking 11th, the highest among Korean solo albums, extending the longest record in K-pop soloist album history by one more week with 33 consecutive weeks charting.
Meanwhile, Jimin's first solo album has continued its long-term success, with "Face" listed for 33 consecutive weeks on the SNEP "Physical Album" chart compiled by the French Music Association this week, setting the milestone of the longest Korean solo chart.

I was curious about what my wage and time, plus materials, would bring the cost of a foundation paper pieced and handquilted king size quilt to...and...
Okay, anyone willing to pay this amount will be enough to convince to make something this...outrageous. it'll close commissions for a year or two, and require frequent breaks so I don't burnout.
$23,800 USD.
$27× 900 hours + cost of materials (batting alone will be $200, 25 yards of fabric will be about what i need, i'll kill several rotary blades with all the cutting, and likely go through at least two spools of thread) = final cost
That amount of money will be what it takes to convince me to make this. If you're willing to pay for one of these now, hmu. I'll make the listing.
If you want just a king size quilt top, that's still $6150 USD. I'll need around 25 yards of fabric, a couple spools of thread (or a cone), and two to three rotary blades. This will take around 200 hours for traditional piecing. Foundation paper piecing will add another 100-200 hours easily because I have to print each section of each block, cut them out, fold along the seam lines, cut all the fabric, sew the fabric to the paper, press each seam, trim, rinse and repeat many times, sew the blocks together, remove the paper (sooooo many pieces), make the rows, and sew the rows together. So foundation paper piecing will bring the top to $11,650. For just the quilt top.
If you're 100% certain you want a king size quilt, and you're able to pay, let me know. I'll put the commission listing up for you, and promptly close commissions until further notice.
Money is good incentive.

Unnatural Landscape series by Palestinian artist Khaled Hourani, 2020
“I did a series of small works, a project called “Unnatural Landscape.” [...] It started as a project about the landscape and the wall, and how this construction, this ugly concrete, [...] tries to cut, separate, and destroy the scene. What kind of effects does this wall have on the landscape, especially from a distance? I can see, when close to the wall, what kind of damage and social side-effects the wall has between the farmer and his land, the family and their relatives, between a city and a village. But also, from a distant view, for the one who wants to hike only, the landscape has a different meaning. We live in a high area here in Ramallah; when you look toward the sea, you can see different layers of mountains, but there is no empty landscape without settlement, without the wall.” – Khaled Hourani in an interview with Lela Vujanić
