The golden maknae, Jeon Jungkook of BTS was born on September 1st. It goes without saying that the birthdays of any BTS members are celebrated like a worldwide festival by the ARMYs. Fans of the Golden Maknae have been planning birthday projects, DJ parties, and installations for weeks before September 1 across the globe, from Peru to the Philippines and India. This year marks Jungkook’s 25th birthday, which is reflected in many of the party themes. The ARMYs, BTS’s devoted fanbase, began celebrating and showering JK with adoration on social media.
