Jin of BTS leads group's anniversary celebrations with hug event, fan meeting

Jin of BTS is back and reunited with ARMYs!

The global superstar led this year's Festa, the annual month-long celebration of BTS' anniversary, the day after he got discharged from the South Korean military.

Celebrations kicked off with Jin's hug event, wherein he hugged 1,000 fans, and continued in a fan meeting at Seoul's Jamsil Sports Complex.

Jin treated fans to a performance of his solo debut single "The Astronaut," which was released prior to his enlistment in 2022, and did a handful of challenges, including dancing to the viral hit "Seven" by his bandmate Jungkook. He also revived "Eat Jin," a live mukbang program he used to hold in Vlive broadcasts.

He wrapped up the event with a performance of his song "Moon," which was released in 2020 as part of BTS' album "Map of the Soul: 7."

The eldest BTS member ended his conscription on Wednesday after serving for 18 months. His bandmates, who are currently still serving, greeted him outside his base. They posted a complete group photo on X (formerly Twitter) afterwards.

BTS is expected to reconvene in 2025.
