October 13, 2025, wasn’t just Jimin’s birthday—it was a global event. The man didn’t blow out candles. He blew up the internet. For the sixth consecutive year, Jimin became the first and only person in the world to have over 23 keywords and hashtags trending simultaneously on X (formerly Twitter). That’s not fan activity anymore—that’s a digital phenomenon.
But the story didn’t end online. Around the world, ARMYs turned his birthday into a humanitarian movement. Fans in Cambodia raised money for Kuntha Botha Children’s Hospital. In Vietnam, the Light Charity Fund donated 2 million VND to the Vietnam Patriotic Front to support families affected by floods and storms—on behalf of Jimin and his fandom. Meanwhile, Russian fans went big, literally lighting up Europe’s largest Ferris wheel, the Moscow Sun, in his honor. Imagine being so beloved that even a Ferris wheel joins your birthday party.
The global outpouring of love didn’t just stop at donations. There were billboards from Jakarta to New York, birthday cafés, art exhibitions, and digital screens glowing with his face. It was like the whole world quietly agreed: October belongs to Jimin.
Fans used hashtags like #HappyJiminDay, #OurMuseJimin, and #30YearsOfLove to celebrate not just his birthday but his legacy. They flooded timelines with messages of admiration, calling him “the undisputed global IT boy.” And they weren’t exaggerating. In 2023, Jimin became the first Korean soloist ever to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with Like Crazy and simultaneously topped the Artist 100 chart. It’s been two years since that record, and his name still trends harder than global elections.
What’s wild is how even in regions where K-pop rarely breaks through, Jimin’s influence remains unmatched. He’s charted multiple times in Russia, holds records across Asia, and continues to inspire charitable initiatives every single year. Fans don’t just celebrate him—they model his kindness.
So yes, call him “IT boy.” Call him history-maker. But above all, call him what he’s always been: a global symbol of love, grace, and the kind of star who doesn’t need a birthday wish—because he’s everyone else’s.
