Later, BTS posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter) showing all six members together. Jin sat in the middle on a couch with decorations that said, “Jin Is Back.”

The group wrote “I’m home!” under the photo, which got more than one million likes on the platform.

Jin also did a livestream on Weverse for 19 minutes, where he talked with fans and thanked them for supporting him while he was away.

He posted a message thanking reporters and ARMY fans who came to see him after he finished military service. He said sorry for not being able to greet everyone properly because he was worried it would get too crowded.

In January, BTS put out a video on YouTube of Jin celebrating New Year’s with fans while he was still in the military.

“Ta-da everyone! Hello! Seok-jin came to say hi for the new year,” he said. “It’s January, everyone. The new year is here. I’m getting older in January. I’d be in my mid-30s now.”

“I miss you all. I miss you a lot,” Jin added. “Guys, please wait a few more months. Now that it’s the new year, we have a few months left. Make a lot of snowmen and think of me when you make them.”

BTS said they will come back together by 2025 after everyone finishes their military service.
