Baekhyun also achieved 1 billion streams on Spotify and 2 billion streams on MelOn, which prove he is a “One-Top Soloist” and “Genius Idol” indeed!
Following these announcements, EXO-Ls and BBH-Ls flocked to social media to celebrate the singer’s milestones.
Some also utilized the multifaceted singer’s new successes as a clapback to those who doubted his solo power after his exit from SM Entertainment. As it turned out, Baekhyun alone can bring out impactful results!
