Jin talks about BTS members hugging without him on his military discharge
The Epiphany singer-songwriter shared during a conversation with W Korea that when he exited the military base on June 12, 2024, he didn't initially see his bandmates as he was busy waving at and bowing to the paparazzi. He humorously added that when he turned around, he saw his bandmates hugging each other. He said, “At the time, I didn't look at the members. So after greeting the cameras, I looked at them, and I was like, 'Ya, these guys are just hugging each other without me, huh.' I missed them so much when I was in the military. I guess they felt the same. And I was grateful that they came all the way here.”
Meanwhile, Jin's glorious return to the entertainment industry began with a fan event at Jamsil Arena on June 13, celebrating BTS' 11th anniversary. He was then selected as a torchbearer for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics Torch Relay. Furthermore, on July 8, Jin was named the first-ever Global Ambassador for the French luxury jewelry brand FRED. He also graced the cover of W KOREA's ‘Summer Daydreamer’ issue, showcasing his post-military hairdo, a month after his discharge. This edition became the best-selling on all six major K-pop e-commerce platforms and achieved a Perfect All-Kill.
Since then, the Astronaut singer has been busy filming various content for Korean variety shows, including MBC's The Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island and an upcoming vlog. On July 8, he was also spotted at Posung High School, his alma mater, filming for an unnamed project.
