BTS’s main dancer and lead vocalist Park Jimin will celebrate his 27th birthday on October 13. While there are more than six months left to his birthday celebration, his fanbase in China has already begun preparations for yet another festive “Jimtober” (Jimin + October).

JIMIN BAR CHINA has set numerous records with their previous amazing projects for Jimin. In 2019, the same fanbase screen lighted 34 buildings in Hangzhou, China. The exterior of 34 buildings in Qinajiang New City were used as screens for a large-scale event garnering the attention of fans worldwide. A total of 700,000 LED lights installed on the outdoor screens were used, covering an area of 532,600 square meters and a length of 2.3 kilometers.

Also, in 2019, JIMIN BAR CHINA set a record by setting up the biggest billboard birthday support in New York Times Square in the USA. They used as “Silver Cast Media” advertisements.

In 2020, JIMIN BAR CHINA set another record as Jimin became the first and only individual artist whose non-commercial or purely personal ads were permitted by the Dubai Mall, the world’s biggest mall, to be displayed on its every screen. Dubai mall has 555,600 square meters floor area that is as big as 50 football stadiums. Jimin’s video played on a huge 200 square meter LED screen located at the Olympic-sized ice-skating rink and more than 340 advertising screens inside the mall.

Lastly, still in 2019, Jimin became the first one in Korea to have the biggest outdoor special billboard and 7 floors collaborated light show in Southern China from JIMINBAR Birthday Project.

The fans are now too excited to see what kind of projects JIMIN BAR CHINA will prepare for Jimtober this year.
