Many fans think this event announcement will bring a huge number of tourists to South Korea. Overseas ARMYs will flock to the country just to have a chance to hug the BTS member.
4. Overseas fans ‘sad’ over BTS’ Jin’s ‘hug’ event announcement
While many fans are absolutely excited to get a hug from their beloved Jin, some overseas fans who wouldn’t be able to make it to South Korea are feeling extremely sad to miss this once-in-a-moon opportunity.
5. Jin considers ARMYs above all
After the event announcement, fans dug up old videos of Jin where he refused to grab others’ hands. But for ARMYs, he is ready to hold a 3-hour-long in-person hug event just a day after his military discharge. Jin’s decision to give fans this special event instead of taking a rest is winning everyone’s hearts on Twitter.
6. Jin’s 3-hour-long ‘hug’ event is equal to free concert
Fans think this 3-hour-long ‘hug’ event with Jin is as special as it can be, with many comparing it to a free concert the BTS member once wanted to hold for the ARMYs.
7. ‘Jin, we are excited you are finally back’
Only a few ARMYs who will win the lucky draw will have the chance to get a free hug from Jin, which means not everyone will have the opportunity. Fans on Twitter are penning that if they win a hug from the BTS member, they should let him know that the ARMYs missed him and that they are all happy to finally have him back.
8. Why Jin’s ‘hug’ event is held with much caution
While many are complaining since the event won’t be streamed free on Weverse and the ‘hug’ opportunity is also limited, others think it is the right decision by BIGHIT MUSIC, given the BTS’ name being dragged in the ongoing HYBE-ADOR row.
9. ‘Precautionary measures’ above everything
BIGHIT MUSIC made it clear that, If any fan doesn’t want to receive a hug, they can shake hands with Jin. Fans are also relieved to know that precautionary measures will be taken on-site in case any unpleasant incidents happen.
