BTS Festa 2024: BTS members are currently serving in the military but the group's eldest member will be discharged from his service on June 12. On the 11th debut anniversary of BTS, BigHit Music has announced several events and will organise a meet and greet with Jin. Several fans were upset after the agency revealed that the entry would be limited to those who bought the Proof album or any subsequent solo albums by BTS via Weverse Shop between a specific time. After receiving the criticism, BigHit Music apologised to fans and made some changes to the schedule.
BigHit Music said in a statement, "Hello. This is Big Hit Music. We would like to inform you that the application criteria for the 2024 FESTA Jin offline event are scheduled to change. We apologize for the unclear content of the previous notice and for not setting the application criteria carefully in advance."

"After the offline event application notice was announced at 11 AM (KST) today (6/2), we are considering both album purchasers who applied for the offline event through the weverse shop details page and those who have purchased albums on the weverse shop before the announcement. We plan to supplement the application criteria. After careful consideration, we will announce the details as soon as possible," the statement added.
"We will do our best to prepare the event so that Jin's feelings are well conveyed to his fans. We once again apologize for any inconvenience caused to fans, and we ask for your support and interest in Jin's offline event to be held on June 13th. Thank you," it concluded.
In the previous statement, the agency said, "The 2024 FESTA in-person event with Jin will be held for the Weverse shop GLOBAL purchasers of albums (including solo albums) released after Proof. More details on the event will be provided in a separate notice."
On the work front, Jin will reportedly team up with the British band Coldplay again for another project.
