BTS Jimin is the first member in the maknae line to enter his 30s. ARMYs are going all out to make sure the global superstar feels the love, especially in his beloved hometown, Busan. This year, the celebrations have turned the coastal city into a dreamy Jimin Land, complete with yacht tours, fireworks, birthday buses, and heartfelt fan projects that capture the singer's incredible impact on millions worldwide. Streets are plastered with banners, subway stations flash digital posters, and everywhere you look, purple hearts are flying, literally.
Jimin's grand birthday party in Busan
On October 13, Jimin's birthday festivities will take over Haeundae Beach in Busan with a special yacht tour organized by his devoted fans. The event will run for two days, October 12 and 13, offering pre-registered fans a once-in-a-lifetime experience, celebrating on a yacht beneath the glittering night sky. The highlight? A fireworks display under the iconic Gwangandaegyo Bridge, lighting up Busan's skyline in honor of the beloved BTS member.
If yachts aren't your thing, worry not. A custom bus inspired by Jimin's second mini-album, Muse, is cruising through the city from October 10 to 14. On yacht days, it doubles as a shuttle for fans attending the festivities, it's covered in purple hearts, lights, and frankly, the cutest fan messages you've ever seen. And yes, people are snapping pics nonstop.
