September might be winding down, but Milan Fashion Week is just heating up, and BTS star Jin has landed right in the middle of it. The Gucci ambassador arrived in Italy this week, greeted by cheering fans who, instead of the usual chaos, lined up in an orderly fashion with purple ribbons.
The Purple Ribbon Project, revived at V’s request during a livestream earlier this year, was in full swing. It wasn’t just a welcome, it was a message — safety and respect come first. Jin, clearly moved, waved and smiled as he walked past, his calm demeanor setting the tone for the night.
BTS ARMY brings back Purple Ribbon Project
For those who’ve followed BTS closely, the purple ribbon isn’t new. It was first introduced by ARMY in 2018 to avoid dangerous stampedes during the group’s appearances. The system is simple: fans hold purple ribbons to form a barrier, giving the artists space while still showing support.
At Milan’s airport, Jin’s bodyguards worked smoothly with the fans’ arrangement. No chaos, no pushing, just organized cheers. It was a different look from the usual airport frenzy, and one that many are now hoping becomes the norm.
Jin’s surprise trip sparks excitement
While there was no official announcement beforehand, speculation quickly spread that Jin would attend Gucci’s upcoming show. His surprise departure from Incheon International Airport on September 21 had already hinted at something brewing.
Fans online celebrated not just his Milan arrival but also the way ARMY handled it. “This is how it should always be,” one fan wrote on X. Another pointed out that Jin must have felt “respected, safe, and loved all at once.”
It seems V’s words struck a chord with fans, and now Jin has reaped the benefits. With Fashion Week in full swing, the eldest BTS member is once again making headlines — and this time, for all the right reasons.
