BTS member Jimin will celebrate his 28th birthday on October 13, 2024. Since he was born in 1995, fans in Busan are gearing up for festivities. On October 11, the Nam-gu Office announced an enhanced management period set from October 11 through October 14 to prioritize safety.
This initiative is a response to the anticipated influx of fans heading to ZMILLENNIAL, the cafe owned by Jimin’s father, which has become a favored venue for the birthday celebrations of the Smeraldo Garden Marching Band vocalist.
The announcement has excited his fanbase, with one fan on X sharing their sentiment:
“when you’re THE JIMIN so your birthday is so important”
Every year, hundreds to thousands of BTS enthusiasts gather at the cafe to honor Jimin’s birthday. This year, since it falls on a weekend, officials predict an even greater turnout. Fans have taken to the social media platform X to express their excitement.
“Jimtober really is like a national holiday 🥹 Jimin is so loved”a fan commented.

Enhanced safety protocols as fans gear up for Jimin’s birthday celebration in Busan
A report by Busan Ilbo noted that around 1:50 PM on October 11, a gathering of international fans congregated in Daeyeon-dong, Nam-gu, taking photos in front of the cafe owned by Jimin’s father, Mr. Park.
These fans have arrived to commemorate the birthday of the ‘Who’ singer. At the cafe’s entrance, gifts and flowers from supporters worldwide, including Hungary, Ukraine, Mexico, Japan, and China, have started to accumulate.
“I came down to Busan early because I thought it would be too crowded on the weekend,”a BTS fan commented.
As the milestone approaches, local authorities and law enforcement are ramping up safety measures in anticipation of the expected large crowds at the cafe.
According to Busan Ilbo, the Nam-gu Office estimates that up to 3,000 fans may visit ZMILLENNIAL to celebrate this year. An official from the Nam-gu Office pointed out that as many as 400 individuals might gather near the cafe at any time.
Following the Itaewon disaster in 2022, local government leadership has taken on the responsibility for managing safety at events that lack organizers. For festivals predicted to attract significant crowds, these leaders are mandated to create safety management plans and carry out necessary initiatives.
The Nam-gu Office is boosting on-site safety through the deployment of 36 personnel, including staff from the disaster situation room. With numerous fans arriving in large buses, traffic control measures are crucial. The police are also assisting in managing illegal parking.
“Given that BTS Jimin’s birthday falls on a weekend this year, we have allocated more safety personnel than in previous years,” an official shared.
An official from the Nam-gu Office’s Safety Management Division added:
“We are committed to ensuring safety by overseeing parking on the shoulder, addressing illegal parking, and managing crowd levels.”
Currently, Jimin is fulfilling his mandatory military service as a Korean citizen and is expected to be discharged in 2025.
