Whenever a member of the world’s biggest pop group celebrates a personal milestone, global fan conventions and trending hashtags are guaranteed. Yet, despite performing in packed stadiums across continents, the most touching highlights from Park Jimin’s latest birthday festivities came directly from his inner circle. While the birthday boy was touched by emotional stadium fan projects overseas, fellow BTS members Kim Taehyung (V) and Kim Seok-jin (Jin) stole headlines with delightfully personal, affectionate tributes on social media that proved their unbreakable decade-long brotherhood remains as playful and sweet as ever.
V’s Careful Photo Selection: Spoiling “Beloved Jiminie” With Affection
Taking to the fan community platform Weverse, BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) delighted fans worldwide by sharing a curated collection of candid photographs featuring the birthday boy. Known for his close friendship with Jimin—a bond famously immortalized in their duo track Friends—V accompanied the gallery with a humorously sweet message detailing the effort behind his post.
Highlighting how much care went into digging through his camera roll for the perfect memories, V wrote a endearing caption that quickly went viral across pop culture forums:
“It was hard work finding these. Our beloved Jiminie, getting spoiled with affection~ HBD.”
The playful post offered fans another intimate look into the lighthearted dynamics shared between the two 1995-born bandmates, sparking an outpouring of celebratory messages from ARMYs globally who treasured the affectionate exchange.

Jin’s Time-Zone Dilemma: A Handwritten Note and a Custom Cake Doodle
Not to be outdone in unique birthday greetings, BTS’s eldest member, Jin, delivered an extraordinarily personal wish that captured his signature charm. Posting on Weverse while overseas, Jin shared a photo of a hand-skitched piece of paper featuring an adorable handwritten message alongside a custom-drawn birthday cake doodle.
Addressing the humorous time-zone confusion caused by their international travel schedule for the ongoing ARIRANG World Tour, Jin candidly explained why he was posting earlier than expected:
“Jimin-ah, it’s still the 12th in this country, but Weverse sent a notification telling me to wish you, so I’m writing this. Happy birthday!”
The combination of the whimsical handwritten note, the crude yet adorable cake sketch, and Jin’s dutiful response to a automated app notification provided fans with a classic heartwarming moment, embodying the effortless, family-like warmth that defines the septet.
Tears and Gratitude in Lima: An Unforgettable Stadium Surprise
The celebrations began even before October 13, as international fans turned stadium stops into massive pre-birthday events. During the final night of the group’s concert stop in Lima, Peru, thousands of attending ARMYs executed a coordinated hand-banner project dedicated to Jimin.
Visibly moved by the sea of banners and arena-wide birthday chants, an emotional Jimin took the microphone to express his deep gratitude to the crowd:
“Being born and going through this life makes me feel like life is truly worth living.”
He further thanked fans for their overwhelming warm welcome, unwavering support, and global love, promising to carry the precious memory with him as the group continues their international schedule.
