I think you might consider it a minor hit, but from SM there are other soloists with more and bigger hits like Baekhyun, Kyuhyun and Chen. Outside of SM you have the BTS members, Taeyang, Winner's Mino and some more. I will say that Taemin has carved a niche for himself with a distinctive style.

Everything Baekhyun released was excellent to me. Kai too. I love Suga's solo music, RM's as well and this year J-Hope totally won me over with his new releases. 

Not all BTS members successful/have hits. For example, J-hope. His debut tanked.

Dropped out of chart after an hour

Considering he'd be classified under K-hiphop, a popular genre in SK, this is considered really bad.

I'm also not confident about other less popular BTS members' solo debut but the maknae-line has high chance to do well because they're the most popular ones.

Kai has no hit song. His debut song failed to chart. The song maybe pretty popular among Kpop fans and idols but it's not a hit as it only has barely 400k uls in almost 2 years. His 2nd cb release flopped even worse and couldnt even reach 200k uls, it only has 160k uls which is extremely poor despite all the promos and tv appearances he did. He's not a gp hit. Even his YT domestic views and searches incredibly low last year. 

The only male soloists who ranked in the TOP50 Youtube Korea views were GD, Baekhyun, Kyuhyun, Mino, Zico, Taemin, Yoseob, K.Daniel, etc. Some of them like GD, Zico, Baekhyun, Taemin, the popular members of BTS, Cha Eunwoo, Junho, etc. were the most searched TOP10 male idols on YouTube Korea. Based on data last year.

The EXO members that do consistently well on Kcharts esp Melon are only Chen and Baekhyun, they're the ones whose songs are listened by the gp.
