The youngest member of the world-famous boy band BTS, Jeon Jung-kook will turn 26 on September 1. To mark the celebration, over 200 fans will gather at Mira Road’s Lata Mangeshkar Natyagruha Auditorium not only from Mumbai, but also from Bhopal, Bengaluru, Delhi and Pune. “It is going to be a treat!” exclaims Shital Sikarwar, founder of Tani Events and Entertainment, the media partner for the event.

“There will be several performances by popular Indian K-pop performers, K-pop-themed freebies, live DJ acts, games and merchandise, photo booth, stalls for Korean food, and of course, a birthday cake. This is an event where ARMY members and K-pop enthusiasts will come together to have fun, but for a cause,” she adds, explaining that all proceeds from the event will be donated to Ankur’s Children Home in Mira Road.

The event was planned by 30-year-old Riya Goon, a K-pop fan, and owner of BTS-themed restaurant Bang Tan Shefs. “The restaurant hosts [BTS and K-pop-themed] events like this across India. But we always try to weave in a good cause. I love K-pop, but at times, the fandom is so overpowering, that we end up forgetting our surroundings. This event, like many of our previous events, celebrates the music genre, but not without including the people and causes immediately around us,” Goon explains.

Sikarwar adds that among the people that are expected to perform are Bhopal’s Ryuxin, Kris and Rishi from Delhi, Japan’s Koki,  and Mumbai’s Axiom and Harshita Dave, among others.
