BTS’s Jin has made history as he became the first-ever celebrity to be featured on the front page of the Kookbangilbo (Defense Daily) Newspaper. And this was all thanks to his fans.
In celebration of BTS’s 10th anniversary, fans have gathered money to sponsor an ad on the front covers of the newspaper on June 13.
Thanks to his fans who banded together, Jin’s advertisement appeared on the coveted first page of Kookbangilbo Newspaper, instantly catching the attention of various online communities. Moreso since the Kookbangilbo is a newspaper that specializes in military and political news of South Korea.
On this day, Jin’s fans sponsored various ads for the idol, not just the ad in the newspaper. These include media advertisements, street banners, and large billboard signs dedicated to the idol.
Netizens commented, “The ad on Kookbangilbo is so new, lol,” “That ad on Kookbangilbo was unexpected,” “Congrats on the 10th anniversary,” “Jin’s fans are creative,” “I want that newspaper with Jin’s ad,” “I think Jin would be so shy after seeing those ads,” “I really like their idea,” “The idea is actually awesome,” “Seokjin will see the ad too,” “These are so cute,” and “Jin’s fans are hilarious.”
