celebrated their 11th anniversary with the event on June 13. This year’s celebrations were extra special because was discharged from the military the day before. The eldest BTS member was excited to reunite with ARMYs, so he held a fanmeeting, including performances and his anticipated hug event for lucky ARMYs who had won a raffle.

He was dressed with a sign inviting the 1,000 ARMYs to hug him. 🐹 Hello everyone its been a while (His sign says " hug me") 😭 — Jiniya지니야_TheAstronaut👩‍🚀 (@Jiniya1204) Jin’s sign says “Give me a hug” 🫂 JIN JIN JIN JIN GREETINGS HUGS WITH JIN — All for Jin (@jinnieslamp) As he knew ARMYs would be excited to finally hug him, Jin advised them not to run at him or jin wanted to tell army's to slow down and not run towards him even though he knows we like him a lot then asked how he should say it in english so he went "NO ATTACK PLEASE" he's so cute omygodjddjdjjd — pha7 (@bemyjinnie) Wearing a cardboard that says 'hug me' & now hugging armys looking so cute I'm crying — jin pics (@Seokjinpicss) During the hug event, as Jin and ARMYs hugged, those at home noticed something. They realized that Jin wearing the sign on himself throughout the event created a barrier between himself and the other person so chests wouldn’t touch.

Many found this respectful and gentlemanly. I think there's a reason why he decided to wear that board in front. So respectful 🥹 — ~Abby7 #BTS11thAnniversary💜~ (@abbyniz_twt).
