As BTS Jungkook’s birthday approaches, fans in the Philippines are pulling out all the stops to celebrate. The fan groups 'GOLDEN Alliance Philippines' and 'JK DAILY' are honoring Jungkook with special billboard ads at eight different locations on September 1st.

These billboards will light up in Mandaluyong, Antipolo, Negros Oriental, Tarlac, Naga, and Cebu Robinsons Galleria department store.

A special birthday event will also take place at the 'Mall of Asia' in Manila.

In addition to the celebrations, fans are spreading Jungkook’s positive vibes even while he’s serving in the military. 'GOLDEN Alliance Philippines' and 'JK DAILY' are teaming up with the non-profit HERO Foundation to donate school supplies to the families of soldiers who have passed away in Mindanao.

Last year, 'GOLDEN Alliance Philippines' created a huge 60-meter-wide mural on Villa Sampaguita Resort’s wall in Antipolo to celebrate Jungkook's birthday. They also supported a solar-powered art project with the 'Liter of Light' group and put up Jungkook’s LED ads in Barangay Ilaya, Manila.

They have been busy with charity work, too, including handing out school supplies like notebooks and crayons to kids in Tawi-Tawi and Tuburan who were hit hard by Typhoon Megi.

They also organized a talent show for street children in Manila with the Child Hope Foundation and provided food and supplies to 'Mali,' the last elephant at Manila Zoo.

Jungkook’s popularity in the Philippines was confirmed when he won 'Male Artist of the Year' at the Philippine KPOP Awards, the country’s biggest K-pop fan event.

Additionally, his international fanbase, 'Jungkook Global Website,' will celebrate by broadcasting a birthday message on the Yankee Stadium scoreboard in New York at 1:05 PM (EST) on August 31st.

The announcer will wish Jungkook a happy birthday, saying, "Happy birthday, global superstar Jungkook! Congrats on making history with 'GOLDEN'!" The message will be heard throughout the stadium.

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
