#Jin Exhibition draws unprecedented crowd, sets new record for Offline Fandom Events

Just days before Jin's birthday, his devoted fans orchestrated a tribute exhibition in Seoul. What the organizers hadn't anticipated was the event's transformation into one of the largest fan-organized offline gatherings in history. In the brisk, early morning chill, eager attendees began queuing up as early as 6 AM, demonstrating their unwavering enthusiasm to celebrate Jin's special day.

The 'Jin Story Exhibition,' held at HiKR GROUND in Jung-gu, Seoul, witnessed an astounding turnout of over 14,500 attendees across its three-day duration. Averaging an impressive 540 visitors per hour, the exhibition has been hailed as the most successful offline event ever organized by fans, a distinction confirmed by the Korean Tourism Organization.

Supported by the Korea Tourism Promotion Center, it was held in the building under the Korea Tourism Organization. According to their data, 4,228 people visited the exhibition on December 1; 4,966 people on December 2; and 5,310 on December 3, with a total of 14,504 visitors, despite Jin not even attending it!

The exhibition occupied the entirety of three floors in the HiKR GROUND building, as it consisted of more than 500 different exponents. 

Despite being unofficial, the event gained recognition from some celebrities who visited it as well as regular fans. It was also attended by a French public broadcasting team. Jin's brother made a post talking about his experience of visiting the exhibition and thanked everyone on behalf of the idol. 

Such a large event really demonstrated the power Jin's fandom holds! This year the artist also became the first celebrity to have the Seoul Tower, located at the city's highest peak, do an illumination show just for him.
