Birthdays are often considered one of the most special milestones of the year for anyone, standing out from the other 364 ordinary days. For global stars like Jimin and Jungkook, these occasions can be even more significant. They are not just personal anniversaries but have become true “international celebrations,” with millions of fans around the world turning their attention to the idols they love.

Every year, the public is amazed by the scale and creativity of birthday projects dedicated to BTS members. ARMY often spend months preparing everything, from online campaigns and advertisements at famous landmarks to large-scale events and charitable donations made in their idols’ names around the world. Unique ideas, such as drone shows, light displays, and birthday messages sent from beneath the ocean to the tops of mountains, make these celebrations even more memorable.

While fans and netizens eagerly look forward to their idols’ birthdays each year, the stars themselves seem to have a different perspective. Jimin and Jungkook have shared their thoughts on birthdays during recent conversations, and their words have touched the hearts of ARMY.

On his recent 31st birthday, Jimin shared: “Thank you for congratulating me. Since we have been on tour lately, it feels like my birthday just sprung up on me. I’m not the type to really care about my birthday as you all know. So I feel really happy and grateful because you all wish me. Also since I'm out of the country, my parents called me yesterday and said "We're grateful to have a son like you" so that made me really happy".

Jungkook expressed a similar sentiment during a recent birthday-related conversation. When an ARMY asked whether he was looking forward to his birthday, the idol gave a simple response: “Nope, I just consider it as the day I was born, so I'm really thankful when you wish me. I have to tell my parents that I'm grateful too, cause I usually am not able to say those... I should say these at times like this.”

The most striking similarity between Jimin and Jungkook’s words is their humble attitude toward their own birthdays, coupled with the deep gratitude they feel toward their families and fans.

Jimin openly admitted that he does not pay much attention to his birthday, while Jungkook sees his as nothing more than the day he was born, without expecting or looking forward to anything extravagant.

Nevertheless, neither of them takes birthday wishes for granted. Although they do not place much importance on their own birthdays, both feel genuinely happy and grateful when the people around them, including their fellow members, parents, and fans, remember the occasion and send them their wishes. For them, that alone is enough — these are already the most wonderful birthday gifts they could receive.

Both Jimin and Jungkook express their feelings with sincerity, simplicity, and thoughtfulness. Rather than turning their birthdays into occasions to put themselves in the spotlight, they choose to direct that positive energy toward their families, expressing their gratitude to their parents and ARMY. It is this genuine side of the global superstars that has touched fans’ hearts, leaving them emotional as they share their reactions:

- They're so endearing I can't. They reminds me of showing more love to my parents

- They're so sweet and my type. Many people often forget that family is the most important thing.

- This is why I love Jungkook… he’s literally the most genuine person, always reminding us what truly matters

- This is such a beautiful mindset, I admire Jimin & Jungkook's thoughts so much
