Busan, famous for its beautiful views and culture, is also where BTS member Jimin was born. Every year, as Jimin‘s October 13 birthday approaches, the city becomes a place of celebration, with fans starting the party in September, calling it “Jimtober.” Fans from Korea and all over the world plan birthday events for Jimin.

ARMY have also made it a tradition to visit Jimin‘s father’s café, Magnate. Located in Busan’s Nam district, they go there to offer birthday greetings and leave gifts. As BTS’s popularity grows, the number of attendees increases. In fact, this year’s turnout was so large that the local fire and police departments were called upon to assist with safety measures.

In light of this, the Busan city government is forming a special task force for next year’s events. This team will include trained police and officials who will look after the crowds and make sure everything goes well. Their goal is to keep Jimin‘s fans safe and make sure the celebrations are successful and safe for everyone. The “Like Crazy” singer is probably the only K-pop star whose birthday led to such a major safety effort.

Jimin is Busan’s pride

Busan’s task force will probably ramp up security measures, including an increased police presence, security checks, and surveillance. Traffic control measures will be implemented to manage the influx of visitors, with designated parking, rerouting, and maybe even shuttle services. The task force will also work to prevent overcrowding and ensure that medical services are on standby for any emergencies.

The task force will collaborate with local businesses, event organizers, and community leaders to support the local economy while ensuring everything runs smoothly. They’ll keep everyone updated on event details and safety measures. They’ll also ensure Busan is ready to welcome ARMY from all over the world.

Jimin is Busan’s pride, and the city government’s efforts show how much the idol’s birthday means to them. When next year’s “Jimtober” begins, the safety of all attendees will be a top priority, ensuring that the occasion is marked with festivity and peace of mind for everyone involved. – K-Pop News Writer
