Jin of BTS is done with military service and wants to give fans 1,000 hugs
LA TimesJin shows off his new buzz cut in 2022 at the beginning of his 18-month military service. After 18 months out of the spotlight to complete South Korea’s mandatory military service, Jin of BTS is eager to get back on stage and connect with fans again. One thousand lucky BTS fans will gather Thursday in Seoul to hug their idol — literally hug him — in a welcome-back event organized by the K-pop group’s manager. Jin was drafted into the military in December 2022 and served at the Yeoncheon army base in northern Gyeonggi province, beginning with five weeks of basic training that included rifle shooting, grenade throwing and marching. BTS has been on hiatus since 2023 to allow its seven members to complete South Korea’s military service requirement and pursue individual projects.
