BTS' Jimin’s father’s café ZM-ILLENNIAL becomes global fan hub amid singer’s solo success with Muse

In 2019, Park Hyun-soo, the father of BTS' Jimin, opened a café in Busan that quickly became a beloved spot for fans. Originally launched under the name MAGNATE, the space had been repurposed from an old factory into a coffee house. Due to trademark challenges, it rebranded to ZM-ILLENNIAL on August 15, 2024.

The interior of ZM-ILLENNIAL, as per media outlet TRAVEL+ LEISURE, features a large chandelier, lounge seating, contemporary artwork, and industrial-style decor. A dedicated exhibition area displays signed BTS albums, Jimin’s personal photos, and even his hat collection.

Another section allows visitors to leave letters and gifts. The space includes an outdoor terrace and large glass windows, often soundtracked by BTS songs playing in the background.

The café is just as popular for its menu as per the outlet. Rave reviews highlight must-try items like the carrot cake, cheese bread cake, rainbow cake, and hazelnut cake, alongside beverages such as the einspänner, grapefruit ade, almond cream latte, and herbal teas. Light bites, including sandwiches and viennoiseries, are also available.

On BTS' Jimin’s birthday in 2022, the café witnessed a large turnout of fans. Park Hyun-soo personally interacted with visitors and distributed souvenirs.

Building on its popularity, ZM-ILLENNIAL expanded overseas, opening a branch in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, Japan, on December 16, 2023. Alongside this, the café launched its own merchandise line under the same name.

The café has drawn not just fans but also notable visitors. One such moment that garnered attention was when Frode Solberg, the Norwegian Ambassador to South Korea, visited the café. He later shared his experience on Twitter (now X), expressing his delight at meeting Park Hyun-soo, BTS' Jimin's father, calling the café “super cool” and receiving a photo of the idol as a keepsake.

Meanwhile, BTS' Jimin dropped his second studio album Muse on July 19, 2024, under Big Hit Music. The 7-track collection features a mix of sounds and stories, including Closer Than This, pre-release single Smeraldo Garden Marching Band with rapper Loco, and the lead track Who.

Upon release, the album made a strong impact globally—landing at number two in South Korea and number three in Japan. In the United States, Muse debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart dated August 3, 2024. It recorded 96,000 album-equivalent units, broken down into 74,000 in pure sales, 15,000 from streaming, and 7,000 from individual track sales.
