BTS ARMYs can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the man of the hour will be here soon. The K-pop septet's birthday is right around the corner, but the group's eldest member has decided to shower fans with the ultimate gift – his highly anticipated return.

On June 2 (KST), BIGHIT MUSIC revealed further details for the global sensation's upcoming grand celebrations of their 11th debut anniversary with the annual festivities of BTS Festa. The much-awaited announcement finally confirmed that Jin, the first member of the group to have commenced his mandatory military duties, will be coming back for the 2024 BTS Fest and celebrating the special day with the K-pop act's fans.

The boy group's label revealed an “in-person event led by BTS member Jin” will be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at Jamsil Arena in Jamsil Sports Complex, Songpa-gu in Seoul.

BIGHIT further wrote, “This event was prepared in order to fulfil Jin's wish to spend meaningful time with ARMY in person on BTS' debut day. We invite you to join us as we express our gratitude for your unwavering love for BTS.”

This exclusive BTS Festa event will consist of two sessions. The initial segment, titled “Jin's Greetings,” will be a Meet-and-greet with the Astronaut crooner. The official announcement poster describes it as “a time for light hugs with Jin per request from the artist.” It is expected to last three hoursand will not be streamed online.

Following the Greetings session, the second event of the day will commence at 8 pm KST and last about an hour. The “Message from Jin” session will see the beloved performer “showcase various performances that ARMY wish to see.” Weverse will exclusively stream the second session for fans with ARMY Membership. More details are yet to follow.

International fans who won't have the privilege of attending the exclusive BTS anniversary event boasting Jin's epic comeback voiced their heartbroken pleas on X/Twitter soon after the official announcements hit social media. While some emotionally recalled RM's words about how Jin would “fulfil the space,” other international fans melted into a proverbial puddle of tears at the thought of not being able to meet their favourite star, who never fails at making their hearts soar on Cloud 9.

A fan commented, “I need extra strength on that day. I'm not their strongest soldier.” A similar response came from another BTS ARMY, who wrote, “SK armys getting hugs from seokjin and an event for festa…intl armys always taking an L.” A third exclaimed, “I will be so happy for seokjin and the lucky armys, but I will be also crying in the corner..”

In addition to the extra special event starring Jin as the main character, BIGHIT MUSIC also announced details for a ‘Ground Event’ to be held in the area encompassing Futsal Field and Sports Park within Seoul Sports Complex. Here, ARMY Membership holders have a chance to win a designated souvenir at the ARMY ZONE on June 13.
