Seoul is abuzz with excitement as BTS's Kim Seok Jin meets his fans for the first time since completing his military service. On Thursday, June 12, thousands of fans are expected to gather in the city, eagerly awaiting the chance to see the K-pop superstar in person. In a special gesture, 1,000 fortunate fans will have the unique opportunity to hug Jin, an event organized through a raffle draw.

The event, dubbed the "Three Hour Marathon," marks Jin's return to the public eye after 18 months of mandatory military service, a requirement for all male citizens in South Korea. This reunion is particularly significant as Jin is the first BTS member to complete his service, while the other six members—J-Hope, V, RM, Jimin, Jungkook, and Suga—are still serving. The entire band is expected to reunite in 2025.

Known for his striking looks, Jin is often listed among the world's most handsome stars. His fan base, which spans the globe, has been eagerly anticipating his return. Initially, Jin expressed a desire to embrace 3,000 fans at the event, but to ensure safety and order, the number was limited to 1,000.

This event highlights the deep connection between BTS and their fans, known as ARMY, and underscores the anticipation for the group's complete return in the near future. Jin's reunion with his fans promises to be a memorable moment, reflecting the enduring bond between the K-pop idols and their devoted followers.
