More about Jin’s recent activities
On July 1, STARNEWS reported that Jin will appear as a guest on the MBC variety program The Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island. According to a source from MBC, BTS’ Jin has already completed filming for the show, although the broadcast schedule has yet to be determined.
The Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island revolves around a vacation experience on an uninhabited island, where Ahn Jung Hwan has refurbished a deserted house. Guests seeking an escape from city life and dreaming of living in nature can check in to this half-star hotel on the island. Ahn Jung Hwan and his team aim to provide five-star service to their guests amidst the island's tranquil surroundings.
In early June, Jin completed his military service and marked the occasion with a special event during this year's BTS FESTA. Following his discharge on June 12, Jin celebrated BTS' anniversary by meeting fans in person at Seoul's Jamsil Arena on June 13. Fans selected through a raffle for the event will have the opportunity to share a "light hug" or a handshake with Jin, based on their preference.
