This isn’t just any event; it will be a hugging event, where a small hug with Jin will be a part of the meeting. While fans were excited that Jin requested the hugging portion, they were upset that his first livestream would only be available to those with a Weverse membership. This caused a stir as BTS has never held a live stream for membership only.

Meanwhile, with news of Jin’s hugging event, K-Pop fans took a trip down memory lane and reminisced about the hugging events that used to be popular back in the day.

Going as far back as 2013, group 100% held a surprise hugging event after a music broadcast with 350 fans.
