'BTS JIN Theme Street' Established in Mapo-gu Hongdae Festival Street

Fan Club 'China Jin Bar' Project... Sculpture Exhibition at Hongdae Festival Street Until the 6th ... April 4th 'Jin' Birthday Celebration... Earth, Moon, and Stars Shaped Based on Solo Song 'Moon' Lyrics Theme

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] A 'BTS ‘JIN’ Theme Street' dedicated to BTS member Jin has been created in the Hongdae Festival Street in Mapo-gu.

Mapo-gu (Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun) announced that from November 30 to December 6, the global fan club ‘China Jin Bar’ will present the BTS ‘JIN’ Theme Street at Hongdae Festival Street (Eoulmadang-ro).

Fans will install and display a commemorative sculpture in the plaza of Hongdae Festival Street on December 4 to celebrate the birthday of BTS member Jin.

The sculpture features a cosmic scene with the Earth, Moon, and stars harmoniously depicted against a large LED screen background. This idea is inspired by BTS member Jin’s solo song ‘Moon,’ in which he sings that fans are his Earth and he is the shining Moon orbiting the Earth.

The large LED screen displays a space-themed background along with BTS performance videos, expected to captivate the attention of global tourists visiting Hongdae.

To prepare for the sudden influx of tourists, safety management personnel are deployed to prevent COVID-19, allowing visitors to use the photo zone and view the exhibition under social distancing and quarantine guidelines.

Meanwhile, after the theme street event ends, Mapo-gu plans to create a light street using LED decorative lighting along the walking path connecting Hongdae Festival Street to the nearby Walkable Street starting from the second week of December, providing diverse tourism content that brings hope to citizens during the year-end and New Year season.

Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “A theme street commemorating a globally famous musician has been created, so much so that South Korea is called the ‘BTS holding country.’ We will do our best to support safety management so that citizens and tourists, exhausted by COVID-19, can enjoy taking photos and watching videos outdoors.”
