On June 2, 2025, fans of BTS' Jimin were moved when ZMILLENNIL Café in Busan, run by the singer’s father, announced a special event. The event is to mark the idol’s upcoming military discharge.

As part of the celebration, the café will distribute copies of Jimin's second solo album, MUSE, to 30 lucky visitors. The winners will be chosen based on receipt numbers.

Jimin's solo success and more about the ZMILLENNIL Café
The ZMILLENNIL Café is located in Busan. The café was formerly known as MAGNATE. However, it was rebranded last year after an unrelated company claimed the original trademark.
The new name, ZMILLENNIL, combines "millennial" and "Gen Z," reflecting Mr. Park’s desire to build a space where younger generations feel connected and welcomed.
Over the years, it has become a beloved destination for BTS fans, where Mr. Park displays personal items and even handwritten messages from the BTS star. One such note left fans emotional on this year’s Parents' Day. In a letter addressed to his father, Jimin wrote:
"Dear Dad whom I love, I sincerely thank you for always being a great source of strength for me just by your presence.Take care of your health.I love you always.Your son Ji-min."
The singer's second album, MUSE, was released in July 2024. It featured collaborations with artists like Sofia Carson and Loco. The title track, Who, became the longest-charting Korean song on the Billboard Hot 100.
His 2023 debut solo album Face also left a strong mark, debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and producing the No. 1 hit Like Crazy.
With his discharge set for June 11, fans across the globe have already started organizing tribute banners and café events.
