BTS' Jin, also known as Kim Seokjin, made a heartwarming return from the military just in time for the FESTA 2024 celebrations on June 13, 2024 which marks 11 years since the Kpop group's debut. In a special event, 1000 lucky ARMYs had the golden opportunity to hug Jin, creating a flurry of excitement and joy among fans. Adorable photos and videos from the event quickly went viral, showcasing Jin's shy yet endearing interactions with his fans.

The videos reveal Jin wearing a cosy sweater adorned with a drawing that says "Hug Me" in Korean. As the event kicked off, Jin was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from ARMYs, all eager to embrace the eldest BTS member, affectionately known as ARMY’s Moon.

One fan shared on Twitter (now X), "jin wanted to tell army's to slow down and not run towards him even though he knows we like him a lot then asked how he should say it in english so he went 'NO ATTACK PLEASE' he's so cute omygodjddjdjjd."

Jin’s playful request to the fans to approach calmly added a charming touch to the event. Fans couldn't get enough of Jin’s famous hand kiss, a gesture that Jhope mentioned he is also missing in a recent Weverse post, causing a frenzy among the attendees.

One particularly emotional fan wrote, "I'M GOING TO CRY BECAUSE SEOKJIN SMELLS LIKE FLOWERS, 0 PORES, GLOWING GLASS SKIN, FRESH CHOPPY BANGS AND HIS SWEATER IS SO SOFT HIS SHOULDERS ARE SO WIDE I CAN'T ENTIRELY WRAP MY ARMS AROUND HIM BUT HE'S TINIER THAN I IMAGINED HIM TO BE HE'S MY BABY,” vividly describing Jin’s appearance and presence.

The FESTA 2024 venue was beautifully decorated, drawing inspiration from Jin’s 'The Astronaut' era. The event featured an Astronaut-themed stage and even included the presence of Jin’s digital friend, Wootteo. This thoughtful decoration added to the magical atmosphere, making the meet-and-greet even more special for the attendees.

After the hugs and heartfelt interactions, the second event will feature a highly anticipated performance by Jin. This performance will also be available for live streaming on Weverse, allowing ARMYs with a membership to enjoy the show from around the world.
