June marks the halfway point of the year and brings with it many K-pop idols' birthdays. It is time for fans to organize fun events to show their support for their favorite artists and share their love with likeminded individuals, bringing joy and brightening up fans' lives as well.

Some of these birthday projects, as they are called, can be very expensive and eye-catching. For instance, for BTS' V's birthday in 2021, fans contributed to have an advertisement in his honor at the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper.

Whether or not fans are able to spend absurd sums of money to celebrate their dearest K-pop idols birthdays, it is definitely a special time for the artists and their admirers.
