On December 24, 2020, Jimin surprised fans when he released 'Christmas Love' to cheer them up during the holidays. In his statement about the song, he mentioned the tough times that people were experiencing worldwide and that he wanted the song to be a source of refreshment, even if it would be just for a short while.

The song was well received with its beautiful melody and Jimin's sweet and soothing vocals, as well as its cheerful vibe that in turn elicited the same jovial mood in listeners. It can be said that Jimin absolutely accomplished his goal in creating the song, hence why fans are enthusiastic about celebrating the song's first anniversary.

Fans in Korea made café events such as in Daegu Cafe Forest, which was transformed into a Jimin-themed café filled with his photocards and playing his solo music. Cups also had Jimin's images printed on them, along with other gifts at the café like calendars.

Another fan who also visited the café posted an image showing a caption in the café stating "Magnate practices sharing with the Green Umbrella Child Fund".
