On June 12th, Jin from BTS went live to communicate with fans and share his thoughts following his discharge from the military.
Jin’s discharge from the Army Infantry Division 5 in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do was celebrated by all BTS members, except for Suga, who came to his boot camp to congratulate their eldest brother.
Tomorrow, on June 13th, Jin will be present at the 2024 FESTA event taking place at Seoul Sports Complex, where he will have the opportunity to meet his fans in person. The event is divided into two parts, with the first part being a free hug session for 1000 fortunate fans.
Jin revealed, “Last year, approximately between October and November, I had a meeting at the company to discuss my schedule post-discharge. The topic of discussion was the upcoming FESTA event. Although the company had already made plans, I proposed the idea of organizing a free hug event for our fans. Initially, the company rejected my suggestion due to potential risks involved in holding the event outdoors.”
He persisted, saying, “I wanted to embrace as many fans as possible who have patiently awaited my return. The company team prevented me from organizing a free hug event, concerned that I might be overwhelmed by the large crowd and possibly get injured. However, I insisted on holding the event for a month. I initially planned to do it outdoors until April, but eventually came to the decision to hold it indoors. Ultimately, we proceeded with the plan,”he added. “Initially, I aimed to meet with 3000 fans, but after careful consideration, we decided to limit it to 1000 fans. The company was concerned for my well-being and didn’t want me to overexert myself.”
