BTS star Jimin marked his birthday on October 13 with a warm and playful livestream that drew more than 7.6 million viewers and racked up over 113 million “hearts.” The event took place on Weverse, a global fan platform created by BTS’s label HYBE, where artists regularly broadcast live and interact with their fandoms around the world.
Appearing without makeup, dressed in a beanie and round glasses, Jimin immediately melted fans’ hearts with his natural charm. He shared candid stories from his recent appearance at Paris Fashion Week, admitting that he was “really nervous” to return to a major public event after nearly two years. He laughed as he recounted asking his company for permission to wear nothing under his jacket on the runway. “When I stepped out of the car, my heart was beating so fast you could probably see it,” he said, drawing thousands of amused comments in real time.
Throughout the stream, Jimin’s personality shone through. He jokingly showed his glasses had no lenses, spoke frankly about turning 30-“It just feels… normal. I don’t want to get old”-and responded to a fan’s question about dieting with a warm, “Don’t lose weight.”
Before wrapping up, Jimin thanked ARMY for making his birthday special. “I think I’ve said this before, but thank you for turning what could’ve been an ordinary day into something unforgettable. I truly felt all of your love, and I hope you felt mine too,” he said.
The livestream underscored Jimin’s unique bond with his global fanbase. For millions of fans-especially in the U.S.-platforms like Weverse have become a direct line to their favorite artists, offering the kind of personal, unfiltered connection rarely found on mainstream social media.
