BTS's Jin made a heartfelt return to his fans on June 13, 2024, holding a special hug event as part of the 2024 FESTA celebrations, "Jin's Greetings."
This event marked Jin's first public appearance since his military discharge, creating a unique and emotional experience for both the idol and his dedicated fans.
The charming star was seen wearing a cardboard poster around his neck, adorned with the words 'hug me' and an adorable illustration of himself. His short-cropped hair, a testament to his recent military service, added to his fresh and approachable appearance.
Fans lined up eagerly, each getting a moment to embrace Jin. He welcomed each person with a friendly smile, making sure to give them a warm and tight hug. One notable moment was when Jin comforted a nervous male fan, encouraging him to feel at ease and enjoy the hug.
The event was a rare opportunity, as free hug events are uncommon for stars of Jin's caliber. This heartfelt gesture was Jin's way of celebrating his military discharge and expressing gratitude to fans who waited nearly two years for his return.
Netizens were touched by the warm interactions, with many sharing their thoughts on TheQoo platform:
