BTS’s Jimin Takes No. 1 in ‘Dekking’ Birthday Vote… ‘Jimtober’ Makes a Brilliant Start

BTS member Jimin shone with popularity by taking first place with 20,518,555 votes in the 'October birthday vote' hosted by the global fandom platform THEKKING.

The October birthday ranking by THEKKING ran from July 1 to 13, and the competition was held for idols whose birthdays fall between October 1 and 15. In the first birthday vote held ahead of Jimin's birthday on October 13, fans celebrated the start of 'JIMTOBER' (Jimin + October) with the first-place result.

As Jimin took first place, a birthday cafe event hosted by THEKKING will be held on October 13. Every October, fans stage celebration events around the world under the banner of 'JIMTOBER,' a blend of Jimin and October.

Meanwhile, Jimin has been meeting fans around the world through the world tour 'ARIRANG,' which has been ongoing since the release of BTS's fifth full-length album, and he is scheduled to appear in the halftime show of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final in North and Central America.
