BTS' Jimin's fans gift him a mini-album for his 27th birthday and it's the first time a fan song topped the iTunes chart

Jimin's fans do the extraordinary for him because to them, Jimin is a gem, a once-in-a-lifetime gift. For his 27th birthday celebrations, Jimin's Vietnamese fanbase, @lfjvheaven, composed a mini-album just for him, the'H^^PY' album.

It is the first time in history that an idol receives a mini-album from his fans as a gift. Indeed Jimin has touched hearts in the most profound ways, that he has become the first artist to receive such a gift. It goes to show just how intense a connection his fans feel towards him and how much he means to them. His influence is unparalleled, and his fans have deep love and respect for him both as an artist and as an individual.

The mini-album was released on October 13, the day of Jimin's birthday, at 10:13 AM in every time zone. It is available on all the major music streaming platforms, including YouTube, Apple Music, and Spotify.

The mini-album contains a total of 5 songs, one of which has a music video, the song titled 10:13. In the teaser for the music video, the creators of the song explain that 10:13 is Jimin hour. Jimin, who is a prince born on October 13, is blessed by all of the universe's stars. Miraculously, everyone in the kingdom was filled with happiness every day at 10:13, no matter their situation, hence the name of the timeline as Jimin hour.

The creators further explained that our human nature makes us prone to painful moments, and the song is intended to help heal such heartbreaks each day at 10:13, even if it is just partially.

Prior to the release of this music video, the creators had asked for the participation of all of Jimin's fans to facilitate the creation of the music video. They state that the idea stemmed from how Jimin always expressed his love to fans and how much he missed them at every chance he got. Consequently, the music video showed Jimin how much he had brought happiness and some relief to his fans during some of their worst times, so the creators made a challenge where they wanted to collect and share some PJMs moments Jimin from his fans.  

As of October 15, 7 PM KST, the song had already garnered over 80,000 views.

The fanbase created lyric cards for all the songs in the album and further posted lyric analyses for each song to better understand the meaning behind each of the songs.

Notably, one of the songs in the mini-album, Sarang, had been released a year before for the 26th birthday, and Jimin got to learn of the song, expressed how much he loved it, and even posted it on the community platform Weverse. Currently, the song has over 3.2 million views.

Fans in Brazil were enthusiastic about the mini-album. The Song 10:13 ranked first on Brazil iTunes on the same day of its release. Sarang, on the other hand, rose to the 9th position on the chart.

It is the first time in history that a fan-made song for an idol has attained a number 1 on any iTunes chart.

Additionally, within the first 24 hours of its release, the song had attracted over 64,000 views on YouTube, with over 3,600 peak concurrents. On Spotify, it recorded over 6,400 streams in 24 hours.

Here are some fan reactions to this beautiful gift for Jimin.

The fanbase has announced that the album can now be searched on Instagram and Facebook, to be added to stories and moments.

Additionally, the fanbase stated that all revenues from the album will be used to support Jimin's present and future releases.

Only extraordinary artists can touch fans in such a way as to get such a gift as a birthday present, and Jimin is one such artist. His big heart as a human being and his mastery of various skills as an artist sets him apart in more ways than one. He is one of a kind and deserves to be celebrated in the best ways.

Congratulations to Jimin for blazing a trail for fan-made songs for artists, and congratulations to the creators of the 'H^^PY' album for being the first to top the iTunes chart with a fan song.
