Busan High School of Arts not only recognized Jimin's talent and contributions during his time at the school but also honored him afterward by awarding him an honorary diploma. Additionally, Jimin has shown continuous support for his alma mater by making several donations. He donated new desks and chairs for all 1,200 students and provided scholarships to students in need, supporting them in various ways

One of the must-visit attractions in Busan is the Oryukdo Skywalk, a place that holds a special connection to BTS's Jimin.

The Skywalk is a glass-bottom bridge built on a coastal cliff, offering stunning views of the sea and the surrounding islets.
In early 2015, Jimin visited Oryukdo and shared his experience through a video log, making this spot a significant location for BTS fans. Since then, many fans have visited Oryukdo, retracing Jimin's steps and taking photos at the same spot where he filmed

This led to the creation of a dedicated photo zone within the park, known as "V Road," where fans can take pictures at the exact spot V did.
The park itself is one of the largest in Busan, offering a variety of attractions such as walking paths, water features, and art installations. It used to be a US military base known as Camp Hialeah until it was transformed and opened to the public in 2014.

    We appreciated the vibrant underwater life during our snorkeling excursion, which was a highlight of our day. The lunch spread was decent, though we wished for more local flavors to elevate the experience. A minor hiccup was the crowd at the dolphin house, making it a bit challenging to fully enjoy the serene surroundings.

    We had a fantastic time on our snorkeling trip at Sataya Dolphin House. The boat ride to the site was smooth and the crew was friendly, making sure everyone felt comfortable. Snorkeling among the dolphins was unforgettable; seeing them swim gracefully around us was a highlight for our family. However, we felt that the lunch could have been more substantial, as it didn’t quite match the excitement of the morning. Overall, it was a wonderful day filled with amazing memories in Marsa Alam.
