BTS' Jin Marks Military Discharge with 'Huggathon' for 1,000 Fans

The K-pop star's return sees thousands of fans gathering in Seoul for the annual BTS FESTA event.

Jin is the first BTS member to complete mandatory military service, discharged on Wednesday.
The 'Huggathon' was Jin's idea, initially aiming to hug 3,000 fans but scaled down for safety.
Fans from around the globe traveled to Seoul, with many arriving early to secure merchandise.
BTS members J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook joined Jin at the event; Suga was absent.
BTS is expected to reunite in 2025 after all members complete their military service.
