Jimin of BTS celebrates 31st birthday during South American tour

BTS member Jimin celebrated his 31st birthday during the group's tour in South America, receiving emotional tributes from both his bandmates and fans. During a live broadcast from a hotel in Chile, Jimin expressed deep gratitude to Latin American ARMYs, specifically recalling the group's performances in Peru and Colombia.

Jimin reflected on the group's first visits to Bogotá and Lima, noting the emotional impact of performing the song ‘Arirang’ for large crowds. He mentioned the physical challenge of the high altitude in Bogotá but emphasized that the warmth of the fans in both cities left a lasting impression.

In Chile, the celebration included a surprise at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, where bandmates presented him with a crown and a birthday pin. The singer was visibly moved to tears by the gesture and the coordinated tributes from the audience, who used yellow hearts to honor him. This followed similar celebrations held by fans during BTS's recent concerts at the Estadio San Marcos in Lima.
