If youโ€™re a BTS ARMY traveling to Busan, thereโ€™s one cafe you shouldnโ€™t miss โ€” ZM-illennial(Magnate).
This stylish and cozy cafe, operated by BTS Jiminโ€™s father, has become a must-visit spot for fans from all around the world.

ZM-ILLENNIAL-1


๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ A Little Background

ZM-illennial(Magnate) opened in Busanโ€™s Nam-gu, a quiet district away from the tourist crowds of Haeundae or Nampo.
The owner, Mr. Park, is known to warmly welcome both locals and international visitors who come to see where Jiminโ€™s journey began.

The cafes name, ZM-illennial, represents the blend of Gen Z and Millennial โ€” two generations known for creativity, culture, and individuality. It perfectly reflects the concept of the cafรฉ itself: a meeting point between classic comfort and modern sensibility.
