For ARMYs, the cafe opened by Park Hyun Soo, Jimin’s father, is a popular and “must-visit” spot when visiting Busan. In 2019, the cafe first opened under the name MAGNATE, built from an old factory.

Recently, the cafe once again became the center of attention when a fan shared a photo of a signed copy of Jimin's solo album MUSE there. What caught everyone's attention was not only the rarity of the signature but also the heartwarming letter he wrote to his father on it.
In the letter, Jimin expressed his gratitude and love for his father. He wrote: "Dear Dad, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being by my side. Please always stay healthy and may your days be filled with nothing but happiness. I love you! Jimin".
The letter quickly went viral on social media, making fans feel touched by the way he expressed his affection for his father. Not only that, through the letter, fans also cherished his relationship with his family and his golden personality:
