BTS member Jimin is celebrating his 29th birthday today, and fans worldwide have come together to make this a truly unforgettable event. The outpouring of love and support for Jimin has completely dominated social media, setting new records across platforms.
At the stroke of midnight in Korea on October 13, the global fanbase erupted in celebration, propelling hashtags like #HappyJiminDay, #JiminourMuse, and "29YearsofLight" to the top three spots on X (formerly Twitter). In fact, the sheer volume of posts led to Jimin-related hashtags occupying a staggering 26 out of the top 30 global trends.
Additional trending phrases like #OctoberSweetheartJimin, and #1013Angel also flooded timelines, with creative phrases such as "존재가_감동인_지민이의_감동날" (meaning "A day of moving emotions for Jimin, who moves us just by existing") further highlighting the global affection for Jimin.
Jimin has been a dominant force on social media during his birthday for six consecutive years, starting in 2019 when he first took over the entire top 20 global trends list on X. This year, fans continued the tradition with overwhelming enthusiasm, once again proving his immense popularity.
In Korea, it took only six minutes for the hashtag "존재가_감동인_지민이의_감동날" to reach the top spot, while in the U.S., #HappyJiminDay and #JiminDay swiftly claimed first and second place, demonstrating Jimin’s influence worldwide. Interestingly, Jimin's official hashtag, #JIMIN, could not trend due to its frequent use being classified as everyday language. Fans quickly adapted by using "JIMIN JIMIN," which gathered over a million mentions in just two hours.
Jimin’s birthday month, affectionately dubbed "Jimin-tober" (a blend of Jimin and October), has become a festive time for fans, with grand events and celebrations held globally. From popular spots in Seoul like Hongdae and Myeongdong to his hometown of Busan, and even areas near his military base in Yeoncheon, fans have organized various events to show their love and admiration for the BTS star. Jimin-tober has become more than just a birthday celebration—it's a global phenomenon that continues to grow every year.
