BTS' Jin dishes about his military discharge ceremony during his recent Weverse livestream
On June 12, the eldest member of the seven-piece K-pop boy group, BTS' Jin, was discharged from his mandatory military service. He successfully completed his 18 months of service as an active military drill instructor and was welcomed back from the military with all his other BTS members waiting for him at the entrance of his unit.
The idol, in order to keep the promise he made to his ARMYs at the time of his departure, kickstarted a Weverse livestream to spend some time with fans, still adorned in his military uniform. During the livestream, the idol talked about several things, briefing fans on how his military discharge ceremony transpired. The idol explained that he was quite famous in the military.
"My friends also made and wrote me this poster. Ah, I'm embarrassed to say this but I was really popular in the military so the posters were written with tons of words."
Therefore, his departure involved a lot of tears, and many of his teammates and military friends gifted him with flowers and posters, conveying their heartwarming messages to Jin.
He also said that the reason he looks swollen and not as good as he usually looks is because he cried not once but twice during his military discharge ceremony.
"I was saying and telling the other people who were on my team in the military to not cry, but when saying goodbye, I ended up shedding some tears. and I feel like I made a good atmosphere but yes, I cried twice so I'm a bit swollen. but yes, I'm back after a year and a half."
He, then, wrapped up his livestream by stating that he was excited about the upcoming 2024 BTS Festa event where he will be meeting and interacting with 1000 Lucky ARMYs.
