The "2024 Festa" will host a variety of activities from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Seoul Jamsil Sports Complex, including upcycling accessory workshops and a BTS song lyrics lottery.
Jin had previously committed to attending this year’s Festa, leaving a message through Weverse during last year's event.
Additional events are planned for the two-week festival, including "Bang Bang Con," a free online streaming of BTS's past concerts on Saturday. Other scheduled content, hinted at with icons of a camera film and music, will be revealed on Wednesday and Friday, generating anticipation among fans.
Jin enlisted in the military in December 2022, serving as an assistant instructor at a front-line infantry division boot camp in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province. All seven BTS members are currently fulfilling their mandatory military service.
