On this day, several false rumors and violent threats targeting Jimin surfaced online, leaving fans deeply concerned for his safety. However, after reporting the incidents to HYBE and working to stop their spread, fans began to feel somewhat more at ease.
Moreover, such threats couldn’t possibly dampen the fandom’s excitement as the clock ticks closer to “D-Day.” Across South кσяєα in recent days, the country has been covered in Jimin-themed displays, so much so that fans are calling it “Jimin Land” — a sight that leaves everyone in αωє.
So, what exactly is happening in кσяєα right now? It turns out that Jimin’s 30th birthday is just around the corner!
This year marks the first time fans will celebrate his birthday on October 13 since his military discharge, making this year’s festivities even grander. ARMYs have been planning large-scale projects, events, and charity activities in Jimin’s honor for months — many of which are now being carried out across кσяєα, from Seoul to Busan.
In Seoul, a total of 52 fan communities have prepared four large-scale advertisements displayed on 15 digital screens throughout the city. They line the transfer corridor between the AREX Hongik University Station and Subway Line 2. These digital ads, filled with heartfelt messages from fans worldwide, will be shown from October 1 to October 14.
Fans have also placed ads at Collabo House Dosan Panorama and Art Wall, hung banners near HYBE’s headquarters, and launched birthday-themed buses decorated in celebration of Jimin’s special day that will run throughout the city.
Meanwhile, all eyes are on Busan, Jimin’s hometown. Streets across the city are adorned with colorful banners and meaningful messages, and digital billboards featuring his images can be seen everywhere — including at Seomyeon Station.
Among the many elaborate fan events, the most eye-catching include a special cruise tour at Haeundae Beach and a fireworks show planned in Jimin’s honor. Fans who pre-registered will have the chance to enjoy a birthday party on board, take in the night view of Gwangan Bridge, and watch fireworks light up the sky on October 12 and 13.
Adding to the excitement, a bus inspired by Jimin’s second mini-album, “Muse,” will run through Busan’s streets from October 10 to 14, also serving as a shuttle service to the cruise terminal.
Furthermore, ZMillennial Café, owned by Jimin’s father, has been redecorated with 60 new banners, including recent airport photos, to welcome fans from all around the world. With excitement building, STARNEWS predicts that both Busan and ZMillennial will be packed with fans on October 13.
As South кσяєα lights up in celebration of Jimin, news of the grand birthday events has quickly spread across social media. Fans have even dubbed October “Jimtober.” Social media is flooded with posts filled with joy, admiration, and pride over the festive atmosphere and the impressive scale of the celebrations:
