We are only a couple of days away from the birthday of the BTS member Jimin who will be turning 26 this year. But, ahead of Jimin’s birthday, BTS ARMY in India decided to do a sweet gesture in his honour as well as of Jungkook and RM. The Indian BTS fan group, Bangtan India, raised over ₹1.5 lakh of funds which they will be donating to a cause. The fandom has hosted a fundraiser, called Project Mi Casa. The fundraiser was in honour of BTS members Jimin, Jungkook and RM.
Jungkook had celebrated his birthday on September 1, whereas RM rang in his birthday on September 12. Meanwhile, Jimin will be celebrating his birthday on October 13. Talking about Habitat for Humanity India, to whom the funds will be donated, it is a non-profit organisation providing affordable shelter, sanitation and housing facilities to the needy.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Bangtan India team said, “We donate to a cause for members’ birthdays every year. It has become a tradition for us. We try to support new causes each time and also try to pick causes that resonate with us based on what we see happening around us or what we think would be a good project to pick up. This time, owing to us hearing about so many disasters happening around us for a long time now and so many families getting displaced in the process, the cause that Habitat for Humanity serves really resonated with us, and hence that was the NGO we decided to support for this project.”

The griup was hoping to rasie much less that what they raised and they are overwhelmed by the response, “Every time we host a donation project, we are overwhelmed by the response people show. While we can never expect the kind of love that is shown for every consecutive project, we are really confident about ARMYs and we know that people always come forward to help noble causes. We closed the project on 10th October, and ₹1.65 lakh has been raised for the cause.”
