Birthdays of any of the BTS members are no less than a festival as ARMYs all over the world leave no stone unturned to celebrate the occasion. From Peru to Phillippines to our very own India, fans of the Golden Maknae have set up birthday projects, DJ parties and installations from weeks in advance ahead of September 1, the day Jeon Jungkook was born. Many of the celebration themes reflect the fact that Jungkook is turning 25 this year. Here’s a look at all the effort ARMYs have been making to celebrate this special day.
World’s largest container shopping mall ‘Common Ground’ in Seoul will turn into special ‘Kuku Themed’ space for Jungkook’s birthday. Common Ground is Korea’s first pop-up store built with shipping containers and 5,300 square meters in scale. It consists of more than 200 shipping containers and is Korea’s first (and the world’s largest) shipping container shopping mall. Because of its trendy architecture, it is one of the popular places in Seoul that is often used as a filming location for dramas and music videos.
Jungkook’s Magic Shop and Baby Highness big doll in Hongdae, Seoul, has become a major attraction spot as many fans continue to visit it daily to see and capture pictures with it.

Several fanclubs in India have organised special events, too. BTS India Magic Shop organised Delhi’s first BTS DJ party ahead of JK’s birthday, while Korean restaurant Pop Seoul is organising a special event for ARMYs on September 1.
