BTS' Jin also kept his long-time promise made to the ARMYs during the group's tenth debut anniversary. On June 13, 2024, he shared a post through Weverse promising fans that as soon as he was discharged, he would greet the fans through a live broadcast instead of heading home. He stated:
"As far as I know, the remaining members are working hard on the 10th-anniversary contest. With '365 days' and '1 year' left in the military, I'll go to the company and see you on Weverse Live instead of going home as soon as I'm discharged. Of course, I might stop by home since it will be early in the morning, but I won't make any plans, and I'll be with you on our 11th anniversary day."
The singer also conducted an in-person FESTA event, where he greeted 1000 fans with hugs and delivered performances on tracks including The Astronaut, Moon, Super Tuna, and more.
