BTS Jin

The first videos from BTS member Jin's FESTA fan event have been released, showing him embracing excited fans. In these heartwarming clips, Jin is seen hugging 1000 lucky fans with a smile, while the emotional BTS song 'Spring Day' plays in the background. These moments have quickly gone viral on the internet.

Jin, who was discharged from the army on June 12, celebrated the special day with his BTS members before participating in a Weverse live session. During the live, Jin shared insights about the Festa event, revealing his initial idea to host a hug event for 3000 fans, which was later scaled down due to logistical challenges.

“I need to talk about FESTA. I gave a good idea, but it received a lot of criticism... I said I wanted to do a free hug event, but they said no,” Jin explained. Eventually, he managed to hug 1000 fans, making the event a memorable occasion for ARMYs worldwide.

In addition to the hug event, Jin is excited about the prospect of performing again. He humorously recounted a conversation with fellow member Jimin about feeling out of practice, indicating their shared anticipation for returning to the stage.

The FESTA event promises to be a memorable occasion, with a second session titled 'Message from Jin' where over 3000 fans will have the opportunity to see him talk and perform. Jin concluded his live session with a heartfelt promise to stay connected with his fans more frequently now that he is a free civilian. He encouraged fans to take lots of photos at the event, emphasising his excitement for future interactions.
