On the 27th, according to ‘Whosfan,’ a global K-pop fandom platform, Billy’s Sean asked, ‘Who is the idol who will be celebrated in Times Square?’ It took first place in the 4th week of January voting. With the support of Whosfan, a happy birthday advertisement was sent out on a giant billboard in Times Square, New York.
