Can you imagine being one of the luckiest fans who could hug the one and only Worldwide Handsome Jin? What would you do, and how do you feel? As fans are both crying in joy and envy after BTS Jin greeted his fans for the first time with FESTA 2024 hug event immediately after military discharge, some others are furious due to a shocking-but-somehow expected incident. And believe us, you can never imagine that such a thing would happen at a BTS formal event! So, what exactly happened at BTS Jin FESTA 2024 incident? Here’s the complete story.
BTS Jin Greets Fans in Special FESTA 2024 Hug Event After Military Service
For the very first time since BTS debuted, this year’s anniversary FESTA feels a lot different, especially with 6 out of its 7 members are out on military duty. Fortunately, BTS eldest hyung Jin was able to fill this painful emptiness with his big heart and humble personality.
Immediately after his military discharge, BTS Worldwide Hansome Jin held a special hug event for FESTA 2024 celebration. In this event, BTS Jin hugged approximately 1000 lucky fans who managed to win the raffle through official ARMY membership.
While the number of fans included was quite surprising, it was actually Jin’s idea to hold the event. Originally, he had suggested around 3,000 participants, but the company didn’t allow him to do so. Therefore, they settled with 1000.

? 우리 멤버들은 안 할 거 같아요
? 저는 제가 하고 싶어서 한 거고
? 멤버들한테 이 분위기가 안 흘러가면 좋겠어요
? '석진이가 했는데, 너희는 안 하냐'
? 이런 분위기로 안 흘러가면 좋겠어요
? 저는 진짜 제 마음 다해 안아드리고 싶었던 거라

On June 13, BTS Jin greeted his fans at the FESTA 2024 hug event immediately after his military discharge the day before. Despite the previous controversy, everything went smoothly, and the event was extremely heartwarming and fulfilling for him and his fans.
One by one, BTS Jin extended his arms to his beloved ARMYs, hugging them sincerely and with a big, heartfelt smile.
That is until this joyful FESTA hug event 2024 turned into a shocking incident against BTS Jin.
You WON’T Believe What Happened at The Incident
As BTS Jin hugged each of his ARMY fans sincerely, an incident happened during the FESTA 2024 hug event. One of the ARMY fans seemed to be not quite satisfied with the hugging, so she went ahead and aimed her lips at Jin’s cheek.
Thankfully, Jin was quick to respond by turning his face away from the fans’ attempt, still with a smile on his face. And so, the fan’s daring attempt was unsuccessful. Instead, she ended up kissing Jin’s neck.
Unfortunately, this incident occurred not only once but twice against BTS Jin at the FESTA 2024 hug event. Another fan was also seen trying to do something similar, aiming her lips at Jin’s cheek. But this attempt, too, was proven unsuccessful.
Due to this incident, ARMY fans started arguing among themselves. That is especially when some fans urged not to disclose the video to the public for fear of damaging Jin’s reputation.
guys please STOP spreading the picture of ? and that fan!!!! we, as well as you all, were very concerned with the alleged stuff that the person may had done to him but I’m afraid haters will try to use this to drag him once more.. so please don’t share it

At the same time, others are furious because not disclosing the video would also mean protecting the culprits. It will only trigger more incidents in the future, knowing that BTS fans will not spread the video. Hence, their identities will be protected.
This fandom has literally lost its soul. You're all disgusting pieces of sh1t. Jumping at the chance to mass report fundraising for Palestinians but you draw the line at reporting & shaming someone who literally assaulted a member. I see. https://t.co/K0tB7eyfTl

and that's why they did it too, bc this fandom made it comfortable for ppl like them to do these things. they know someone that would've worn a kuffiyeh would've gotten more backlash than a literal assault. yall make it comfortable for literally i0f soldiers to be here so why not https://t.co/81qAFOsiO1

Finally, this incident was even more appalling because it actually happened at an official event. Many fans feel that these 2 ARMY had tarnished Jin’s good intention to send warm, friendly hugs after being away from them for 18 months.
