Birthdays have long been considered one of the most special milestones of the year for any individual, standing out from the other 364 ordinary days. For a global star like Jungkook, however, this day carries an even greater significance. It is not only a personal anniversary for him, but also a true “international festival,” as millions of fans around the world turn their attention toward him.

Every year, the public is left in αωє by the sheer power and spending capacity of BTS’s youngest member’s fanbases, who meticulously prepare mαѕѕive birthday projects months in advance, ranging from online campaigns to large-scale offline events. At the same time, fans are also curious about what special gifts or messages he receives from his fellow members and family, and how he chooses to celebrate his birthday.

While outsiders eagerly anticipate Jungkook’s birthday and the surprises that come with it each year, the star himself seems to feel differently. In recent years, especially after going through the formative experiences of military service, Jungkook’s perspective on birthdays has noticeably shifted.

Specifically, during a livestream not long before his birthday last year, an ARMY asked, "Are you looking forward to your birthday?" Jungkook’s answer completely won fans over - "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", he shared.

His words were genuinely mature and thoughtful, instantly touching the hearts of fans. Typically, many people like birthdays because they receive attention, gather with friends, and celebrate, but they often forget to spend time with their family and parents—the source of their existence. This is especially true for people who do not have much time for their family or who rarely express their emotions openly, like Jungkook. For them, birthdays become a rare opportunity.

That is why Jungkook wants to make use of the day instead of celebrating himself alone. For him, a birthday is not just a time to receive love and congratulations from others, but also a moment to express gratitude and affection toward the people who gave him life.

His confession that he usually cannot express such feelings directly only makes the message more sincere, causing fans to love him even more. Jungkook’s words also remind us to be more grateful and attentive to our parents and family. At this point, fans couldn’t help but comment:

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

- He’s so sweet and my type. Many people often forget that family is the most important thing.

- He is the best son a parent could ask

- an angel with the sweetest heart. i love him sm

- He’s so real for saying that, honestly who even thinks of their parents first on their birthday? 

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

- This made me tear up… he’s truly so thoughtful

- My heart is so full, he always thinks beyond himself

- This is such a beautiful mindset, I admire him so much

- He reminded me to thank my own parents too… so touching

- Such a mature and beautiful mindset. This is why he touches millions of hearts… my angel
