As his discharge also coincides with BTS’s 11th anniversary FESTA celebrations, the HYBE building has undergone a transformation, including “Apobangpo” written on the front. The word means “ARMY forever, Bangtan forever.”

Yet, it’s not just HYBE decorated for FESTA and Jin’s return. ARMYs have spotted an airport taxi with Jin-created character Wootteo on the sides.
It seems a premium airport taxi "Papa Taxi" is part of BTS Festa sponsor and use Wootteo as the sticker.

But it’s not only Korea that is celebrating.
A video is garnering attention online. It shows a car parade driving through an Argentinian city, cheering excitedly for Jin’s return. The cars appear decorated with purple (BTS’s official color), Korean flags, etc., as Jin’s “Super Tuna” plays.

OP (Original Poster) joked that it’s like Jin’s discharge is an international holiday. Considering that many international ARMYs are even traveling, taking time off, and more for Jin’s discharge, it certainly should be an international holiday.
armys traveling to sk for jin’s event. armys taking off work and/or school. armys rescheduling appointments. okay someone needs to officially make bts member’s discharge days an international holiday.
