Busan Government announces plans for a task force to oversee safety during Jimin's birthday week due to huge crowd turnouts for celebrations

Jimin's birthday falls on October 13, and fans have dubbed his birthday celebrations as 'Jimtober' to mean that the entire month of October is dedicated to him to honor his birthday. This has even become known to the mainstream media as they report on the glamorous festivities. Secondly, the 'Jimtober' month-long festival sees numerous flashy and extravagant projects by fans set up all around the world, but especially in South Korea, to show Jimin their immeasurable and unending love for him as their idol. The grand scale of these projects always turns them into crowd magnets as mammoth crowds of both fans and non-fans flock to the venues to enjoy the Jimtober festivities in the most magnificent ways. 

Fans have also made it a tradition to visit Jimin's father's 'Magnate' café in Busan to give their birthday greetings and leave gifts for him, and each year the crowd gets bigger and bigger. In fact, this year's crowd was so huge that the local police and fire departments were contacted and asked to help with implementing safety measures at the crowded venues of the birthday celebrations to avoid accidents. Below are reports for the overwhelming turnout for Jimin's birthday events in 2022 and 2023 as examples.

Following reports of the involvement of the police and fire department in ensuring safety during this year's celebrations, news has now emerged that the local government of Busan plans to set up a special task force to help ensure safety during Jimin's entire birthday week, which is when most people swarm the birthday event venues. This task force is expected to be operational beginning next year. 

This is such a big deal and shows Jimin's unrivaled impact as nothing like this has ever been done for any other idol or individual in the country. It also shows how proud the people of Busan are of Jimin, for them to go to this extent for him!

Even though fans already know how powerful Jimin is with his overwhelming popularity, they are still in awe of his legendary status on hearing this piece of news, and here are some of their reactions.

Fans are always proud of Jimin for his hard work and admirable personality and character that has elevated him to such status, enough for him to receive such attention from his country's authority bodies.
