BTS’s Jin is making his return from the military in an especially heartwarming way!

On June 2, BIGHIT MUSIC surprised fans by announcing their plans for a special in-person event for this year’s “BTS FESTA,” the group’s yearly celebration of the anniversary of their debut.

Following his upcoming discharge from the military on June 12, Jin will be celebrating BTS’s anniversary by greeting fans in person at Seoul’s Jamsil Arena on June 13. Fans who win the raffle for the event will have the chance to share a “light hug” or a handshake with Jin, depending on their preference.

Later that evening, Jin will also be holding a special showcase that will be streamed live on Weverse for ARMY membership holders.
