The BTS Festa is a major highlight for ARMY, BTS's dedicated fanbase, and this year's celebration was extra special with Jin's return. During his 18-month enlistment, Jin served as an assistant drill instructor, wrapping up his service just one day before the Festa. Check you the video of Jin interacting with fans below:

While Jin's bandmates—RM, V, Jung Kook, SUGA, Jimin, and J-Hope—are still in the middle of their military duties and couldn't attend the Festa in person, they each sent heartfelt letters to ARMY, which were shared during the event.

In Weverse's livestream, Jin opened up about completing his military service and reuniting with fans. He admitted to shedding some tears during the ceremony but also described the past year and a half as a rewarding experience filled with incredible people.
