Jimin is getting a lot of love in his birth month. The BTS star is turning 25 years old (26 in Korea) on Oct.13, and ARMYs welcomed the month by trending #HelloJimtober along with three other keywords on Twitter in Korea.
ARMYs all around the globe have been organizing projects to celebrate Jimin’s birthday. Even though the month just began, there are already over 120 birthday projects dedicated to the BTS star. Now, a famous Korean illustrator is joining the festivities.
Lee K. took to Instagram to show a piece of artwork he made for Jimin. He painted the “Filter” singer using oil on a huge canvass measuring 1200 x 900 mm. and captioned it, “Congrats #Jimtober.” (Check out the post here).
The Korean artist also shared a video of the impressive details of the painting on his InstaStory. (Watch the clip here). For those who have been following Lee K., it's no secret that Jimin is his favorite muse. The illustrator has already created a bunch of masterpieces with the BTS star as his subject.
Lee K. being inspired by Jimin is not surprising as the idol is the complete package. He can sing, dance, and he can even act. On top of it all, the BTS star is blessed with extremely good looks.
In fact, when America’s Got Talent previously shared a video of BTS’ performance of their latest hit “Dynamite,” Jimin snatched a lot of locals’ hearts. Wearing an outfit that they wore on the official music video, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook took everyone to a fun location complete with amusement park rides and fireworks.
After watching their performance, ARMYs and locals took to Twitter to express their feelings. Jimin, in particular, snatched a lot of hearts that his full name “Park Jimin” quickly trended on the platform.
“Hey BTS stans, who is the one in the Gucci bomber jacket?” one asked. “I can’t take my eyes off of that guy in the Gucci jacket!” another one shared.
ARMYs responded to these inquiries by telling them the guy in the Gucci bomber jacket is Park Jimin. This was repeated numerous times, which is why JM’s full name instantly trended. Aside from that, fans were also tweeting about Jimin, adding to more tweets under his name.
The feeling that Jimin is making people feel is so bizarre yet relatable at the same time. This is exactly the reason why the “Filter” singer is one of the most popular artists in the K-pop industry.
