BTS' Jin will soon complete his military service on Wednesday June 12, 2024. After two years of separation from fans, the leader of the Kpop group BTS wants to hold a special event that allows ARMY (the name for BTS fans) to hug him. As is known, the kpop group BTS will celebrate their 11th debut anniversary on Thursday June 13, 2024. 

For that, BTS' Jin wants to relieve longing with ARMY while celebrating their annual event FESTA 2024 through a meet and greet event. The happy news was announced by BIGHIT MUSIC on Sunday June 2, 2024. This event will be divided into two sessions, namely meet and greet aka hugging with BTS' Jin and a special performance from BTS' Jin. 

In particular, BTS Jin's meet and greet event was highlighted because it allowed 1000 fans to hug him. It was also reported that Jin requested the hugging event. However, there is a special condition that fans must follow to win the chance to hug BTS' Jin. BIGHIT MUSIC will choose the fan with the most album purchases from June 2 to June 6, 2024 as a consideration. 

This eventually sparked protests from fans. Some ARMYs feel that BIGHIT MUSIC is taking advantage of BTS Jin's goodwill by increasing album sales. Moreover, fans who have purchased many albums before the specified time are not counted to attend the meet and greet.

Initially, BIGHIT MUSIC stated that ARMY who purchased albums released after 'Proof' through Weverse Shop would be eligible to apply. Eligible albums include PROOF, The Astronaut, Indigo, Face, D-DAY, Jack in the Box, Layover, Golden, Hope on the Street Volume 1, and Right Place Wrong Person.

Following criticism from fans, BIGHIT MUSIC announced plans to change the requirements for BTS Jin's meet and greet. ARMY who have already purchased the albums before the specified time period will also be allowed to register. "We apologize for the unclear notification earlier and our failure to specify the registration requirements. 

We will revise the requirements to include those who purchased the album on Weverse Shop after the event was announced and those who have previously purchased the album from Weverse Shop. We will carefully discuss and announce the detailed plan as soon as possible." "We will do our best to put together the event so that Jin's good intentions can be conveyed to fans. 

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and ask for continued support and interest in Jin's event on June 13, 2024," BIGHIT MUSIC said in a statement, as reported by Koreaboo. Meanwhile, BTS's Jin began his military service on Tuesday June 13, 2022 as an Army soldier. 

He is now assigned as an infrastructure assistant and will be discharged on Wednesday June 12, 2024. The meet and greet event followed by a hug moment will be held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium. However, it is only intended for South Korean ARMY who are Weverse members. Not a few ARMYs abroad are jealous and hope to get the chance to hug BTS's Jin at the 2024 FESTA celebration.
