Jimin is known for his popularity around the world for his many top-tier skills, his beauty, and his charming personality. However, his popularity, particularly in South Korea, is on another level. He has proven time and again to be the nation's favorite idol going by his influence on the country's economy, culture, and tourism and on the overwhelming level of support that he enjoys from the country, arguably having the most extensive fan support for any individual idol in the K-pop industry. His top status as a favorite among Koreans has been demonstrated yet again by the response received by his birthday projects.

Among the many projects that have been prepared by Jimin's Korean fans to celebrate his upcoming birthday, one included a grand celebration encompassing a 'Jiminland' at Seongsu Yeonbang, which is considered to be the hotspot of Seongsu-dong. Read more below.

After the project was up and running beginning October 7th, an overwhelming number of visitors went to the venue to take part in the celebrations and show their support for Jimin. According to reports from visitors to the venue and the hosts of the event, the number of guests on the first day was so much higher than they had anticipated, and the second-day traffic surged even higher than the first day! Long queues could be seen at the venue as fans awaited their turn to partake in activities such as taking photos at the Jimin photo booth and also at the pizza event, among many other stations. The hosts of the event, ALLFORJIMIN_KOR, stated that some items even sold out so much earlier in the day due to the huge crowds visiting the venue.

Fans were so excited to partake in this celebratory event that the name of the complex where the event is being held even entered Twitter trends in Korea on the busy Saturday afternoon!

Fans on Twitter also could not help but be excited at the response, which was proof of how much Jimin is loved and adored in his home country, and the kind of pull he has on the public. This is always something for his fans to be proud of, to see their favorite idol enjoying so much support and love from everyone. Some fans even said that "at this rate, Jimin's birthday should be a national and/or international holiday" because it is unheard of for a birthday event to attract such huge crowds, even on a busy working day!

As the celebrations went on, sometime during the second day of the event, the hosts announced that the event, which was scheduled to run from October 7th to October 9th, had now been extended till October 13th! The extension was credited to the overwhelming support from fans visiting the venue, which brought about economic benefits to the businesses at the complex as well.

"We bring good news to our fans! Thanks to the many people who visited the Seongsu Yeonbang event, Seongsu Yeonbang extended the rental period. The event will be held until the birthday on October 13th!

For those who hesitated to come today after seeing the long waiting line or who unfortunately gave up because the schedule did not match, I hope that you will refer to the extended period to schedule your visit and share happy memories of JimTober. Once again, thank you to everyone who showed interest in and visited the Seongsu Yeonbang event."

The news of the extension has been well received by fans, who were even more proud of their idol and his unrivaled influence.

Jimin's birthday events are always a festival, and fans are excited to see the rest of the events. Congratulations to Korea's IT boy!
