The nostalgic venue, filled with BTS memorabilia and gifts, will close its doors in 2027 after years of attracting fans from around the world. The decision was revealed in an Instagram post on November 1, accompanied by a 365-day countdown to the café's closure. The post expressed gratitude for the unwavering support and kindness shown by fans over the years, urging them to cherish the remaining time together. ZM-illennial, operated by Jimin's father, has become an essential stop for ARMY travelers to Busan, the hometown of both Jimin and fellow BTS member Jungkook. The café, which transformed from Magnate in 2019 to its current name, has become a cherished destination on fan itineraries, offering a personal connection to the singer and a chance to mingle with his father during visits.",
