Just one day after BTS Jin’s discharge from the military, he held a special hug sent as part of the 2024 FESTA, to meet with fans.
He appeared on stage with a cardboard poster around his neck with the words “hug me” on it.
Although he was a bit nervous standing in front of ARMYs, he asked fans to enjoy the moment and to understand him even if he’s a bit shy for the event.
In his recent live broadcast, he shared that there was a bit of struggle to make the hug event possible…

Wow, the cardboard poster is crushed. I thought this would be fun, as I had planned for this event, but it was even more fun than I had thought. Are you guys having fun too? If there were more of me, I could’ve hugged more people. It’s a bit unfortunate that I could only hug 1,000 of you. But next time, If I get the chance! I’ll try my best to hold another one before I die. Now that I’ve cooled down again, shall we start again.
— Jin
Fans were so happy that he enjoyed it and hoped that he would go through with his words and hold another again someday!
