The massive support from fans around the world celebrating BTS V's birthday is beautifully decorating urban areas and skies, proving the status of a global star. The support from fans transcending borders, from Asia to Europe, has established itself as a grand cultural festival beyond mere congratulations.
The most overwhelming scale was seen in China. V's largest fan club in China, Baidu V Bar, showcased a unique project utilizing an entire aircraft. A themed aircraft filled with V's images, including the overhead bins, seat covers, and tables of China Express Airlines, took to the skies, creating a significant buzz.
Large-scale offline events unfolded in major urban areas across China. In Hangzhou's Binjiang District, a 6-meter tall giant sculpture was installed as a photo zone, while themed album stores and experiential events were simultaneously held in nine major cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Notably, a massive 118-meter tall billboard appeared in Shenzhen, showcasing an overwhelming scale.
The excitement in South Korea was also intense. A 6-meter tall giant sculpture was installed in Yeouido Hangang Park in Seoul, capturing the attention of citizens, and a congratulatory video was screened on an external panorama screen. Over 100 birthday banners were installed on roads near the agency HYBE, and five wrapped buses gathered, creating a spectacle and establishing another landmark.
The heartfelt support from overseas fans also caught attention. Russian fans posted congratulatory messages on large LED billboards at St. Petersburg Station and Vosstaniya Square, while showing their affection by supporting wrapped buses operating in Gangnam and Yongsan in Seoul. The Thai fan base has also continued birthday advertisements for three consecutive years through wrapped buses running in downtown Bangkok and large billboards at the landmark Siam Paragon and transportation hubs.
The birthday support prepared by fans worldwide is regarded as a testament to V's immense influence and the solidarity of the global fandom. The projects that changed the city's landscape and adorned the skies have completed V's birthday as a global festival shared by the entire planet.
