Jin’s birthdayfestivities reached new heights as he dominated the November ‘Pick Your Own Idol’ star voting event on Idolpick, securing a staggering 376,063 picks. This not only triggered a birthday celebration popup on the Idolpick app and an online article but also earned Jin a one-day advertising display at Seodaemun Station in Seoul.
Exceeding 100,000 picks extended the celebration to three days at Seodaemun Station. Remarkably, Jin secured the top spot, guaranteeing a seven-day outdoor LED billboard advertisement in the bustling Myeong-dong district.
From November 30th to December 6th, Myeong-dong will be illuminated with a birthday advertisement, marking the pinnacle of the celebrations. But that’s not all – Seodaemun Station will continue to showcase Jin’s glory until December 4th, creating a visual feast for commuters.
Beyond the grand celebrations, let’s delve into the multifaceted personality of Jin on his 31st birthday. Known for his robust vocals and stunning looks, Jin is not just a K-pop sensation but a prolific music producer. He showcased his production skills in co-producing the track “Awake” for BTS’s second album, Wings, and the solo single “Epiphany” for the Love Yourself: Answer album.
However, Jin’s journey to stardom took unexpected turns. Initially aspiring to be a journalist to give a voice to the socially disadvantaged, he pivoted to acting after being inspired by Kim Nam-Kil in Queen Seondeok (2009). Interestingly, he once revealed that if he hadn’t pursued music, he would have become a farmer, highlighting his diverse ambitions.
The twists in Jin’s life story don’t stop there. In middle school, he received an entertainment offer from SM Entertainment, which he skeptically declined, thinking it might be a scam. Fate had other plans, as BigHit Entertainment scouted him during college for an acting role, eventually leading him to become a trainee for BTS. This decision set the stage for Jin’s historic journey in the world of K-pop.
As ARMYs flood social media with adorable pictures, collages, and videos, the “Worldwide Handsome Jin Day” trend gains momentum. From his infectious laughter in BTS videos to his endearing ‘funny shenanigans,’ fans are making sure the world knows why Jin is a global sensation. Happy Birthday, Jin!
