BTS’s Jin Hugs Fans For Three Hours — Here’s How His Free Hug Event Went
BTS’s Jin greeted fans in person on June 13, 2024. This was the first time since his military discharge. He held a special hug event as part of the 2024 FESTA celebrations, Jin’s Greetings.
The adorable star wore a cardboard poster around his neck. The poster had the words “hug me” on it, along with an illustration of himself.
His hair was cropped short, reflecting his fresh-out-of-the-military status.
He was a little nervous to see fans up close.

The event was a once-in-a-lifetime rarity. For a star as famous as himself, free hug events are uncommon. Jin wanted to celebrate his military discharge, thanking the fans that loyally waited for him for close to two years. Netizens were heartened to see the warm interactions.
- Jin is so kind. I’m jealous, but also not.
- The videos are so warm. It’s so nice seeing both Jin and the fans like that.
- LOL what’s with the ‘hug me’ meme drawing keke. Is he a flying squirrel or what.
- Wow, he’ll probably fall sick after that.
- Why is Jin so cute? LOL.
- His love for the fans is insane. I’m f*cking jealous.
- I’m so jealous but also so thankful.
It is delightful to see the interactions between Jin and ARMY. ARMY have waited a long time to meet Jin again!
