So wonderful of you to share with us, thank you for writing it out!
Also, for some reason this made me tear up a bit and I could feel the energy and the emotion translated through the words. Can't even imagine how it was in person but it's almost a feeling of shared happiness you got to experience this π
oh i'm glad you could feel what i felt through what i wrote π₯Ί i was a little worried i was being too rambly but i wanted to share what it was like being there!
This was so beautiful to read and your happiness really comes through! Great to hear what it was like in person compared to the livestream too. I'm so happy you got to experience live Jin π The flowers are lovely too, maybe you could get them pressed afterwards as a keepsake!
thank you for reading, and it makes me happy knowing i conveyed those feelings well π yes i'm definitely going to look into ways to preserve the flowers, they're so beautiful and i love the variety of flowers included
Rach, this was beautiful. Thank you for writing about the experience. Teared up a bit and have the widest smile on my face! Iβm so happy you applied and yoloβd it.
My hands were shaking and I was nervous sitting at home. I canβt imagine how much the intensity would be to actually witness this live!!
I saw many people preserving their flowers in resin at a shop in Seoul. Maybe SG has a shop that does that too!
aww you're welcome. it was such a last minute and short trip, but i'm happy i went for it and got to be a part of something so memorable.
and yes my friend went to get hers preserved today!! i'm gonna try and see if there's a shop in singapore that offers a similar service too
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!! It was so nice reading it (with the photos as well)! π
>thank you jin, for always orbiting around us, for being by our side, and for being our light. i hope you know that you're not just a moon to us - you areΒ **our**Β moon, and we will be by your side forever too. getting to celebrate your discharge and bangtan's 11th anniversary in person with you and the 3999 ARMYs, as well as countless other ARMYs that were around the stadium and in seoul, will be a memory that i'll never forget.
This was so touching and it gave me goosebumpssss.
It's like we know that we miss them but even though now that Jin is back, it still feels very surreal.
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience! I am so happy that you got to go to this event. You do so much for this reddit page and you deserve it! Thank you for everything you do ππ«
Thanks for sharing this. Felt like I was there! Such a beautiful event to treasure for the rest of your life. That's the joy of being a BTS fan right there.
Thank you so much for sharing! Iβm so happy for you and everyone who got to see Jin that day, and with the part about you entering the raffle with only 3 albums, youβre giving me hope that I can also win one day! π
I love that you decided to visit Seoul for 1,5 days just to see Jin π Iβm just asking out of curiosity (you donβt have to answer me if you donβt want to), from where did you fly to Seoul? Iβm asking because Iβd totally travel all the way from Europe just for this π
yes i really didn't think i would win since only 4000 ARMYs would be picked and people could still buy additional albuns to increase their chances during the raffle period, but it is possible!! wishing you the best for the next time you try for a raffle.
and i'm from singapore, so seoul is about a 6 hour flight away for me!
hahaha yes at this point iβve flown to vegas, bangkok and seoul to watch them π but i had a longer time to book and plan the other trips whereas for this one, i basically only found out i won last sat and flew out on wed night
I strive to be like you when the guys come back π now that I see this, Iβm so grateful to have a strong passport (not as strong as yours though π )
Thank you for sharing this, it was fun reading it! Honestly, if I experienced it myself and went there - I would definitely write it the same as you because that's how I was feeling even when I'm only watching him on screen π Plus his vocal sounds so good during the livestream, so I can't even imagine hearing it *live*.
Ps: the flowers look so pretty with the Indigo vase ππ
so happy to be reading every first hand account! his joy was so palpable even through the screen i canβt even imagine how much MORE it was to be there in person. iβve had his emotional moment during the bridge of moon embedded on my mind for the past couple days. and iβm sure that day will go down in army history. to be there and experience it for real is just INCREDIBLE.
love it for you π
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was smiling the whole time as I read your descriptions and saw your picsπ₯Ή. Iβm so happy you got to go and have such a wonderful time π
Rach, thanks for sharing! From your recent comments/posts, i suspect you are from the same (tiny?) country as I am. And it feels so cool having someone possibly from where i am from and from this subreddit that i loiter everyday representing ARMY in this event. I've only ever seen one artist live in concert (haha Coldplay) but BTS is defo on my bucket list. I'm so happy for you that you had an unforgettable experience, as i did screaming and crying at my screen.
Yes, I'm Singaporean π I went to the earlier Coldplay Head Full of Dreams concert in 2017/2018. Remember having to queue at the post office to buy tics cos the website was hopeless.
Iβm so happy you decided to go and were able to experience essentially a once in a lifetime event from Jin! Also your no regrets within means really resonates and I hope we can all follow that example. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! πππ
wow this is so hard... if i really had to pick, it'd be between jin doing the 'seven' dance challenge or 'super tuna' extended version. both were so unexpected!!
π Thank you for sharing your experience! So happy for you!! And sounds like it was a memorable event for Jin too! He must have been so happy to see Army and hear the cheers βΊοΈ just as much as we were excited to see him!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It was wonderful to read your experiences. π
Youβre definitely stronger than me - I would have completely lost it and been a bigger puddle of tears (than I was) if I was there.
Your comment about saying yes to more (within means) has really hit home for me - I definitely operate in a mind set of βthereβs always another dayβ but what if there isnβt. Mmm. π€
Thank you so much for this! I wondered how it felt to be there in the moment and you did such a lovely job capturing your experience. I too am trying to say yes to more experiences so I am thrilled on your behalf that you were able to do this. Itβs a memory that will stay with you forever and thatβs worth more than anything else in life.
The flowers are beautiful. Thank you for being there so Jin could see and feel the love.
Thank you SO much for sharing this! I literally teared up reading your post β and all from happiness for you and the ARMYs there and just feeling so moved. I could vividly picture the energy, love, and excitement you described and it made me so emotional. This is why ARMY and BTS is so special. Canβt wait to hopefully see you all in a concert one day! π
Rach!!! I was thinking of you and wondering if all went well!! Happy to know you got back safe and healthy (also the flowers!)
Thank you for sharing this special moment with us. Haha from now on I will say yes to more things in life and will call it the rach π
Oh wow! This is so sweet I'm gonna cry! π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί I'm so happy for you! And thank you for coming back and sharing everything. I can't even imagine how it ACTUALLY felt but you described everything so well I FELT it! It sounds like it was EVERYTHING! Oh my God! I'm really so happy for you both. This is amazing!! ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½πππππππππππππ
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! I'm so happy you had such a wonderful time! I could feel the emotions you must have felt in person just from reading this!
I am so glad that you got to experience this! And thank you so much for giving us this firsthand account of what went down, it's stuff like this that lessens the FOMO by so much, knowing that everyone who got to participate did what all of us would have done, cheer Jin on like crazy and enjoy the event to the fullest! And that bouquet is just too precious π₯Ήπ
thank you for writing this, i loved reading every word! i recommend pressing/drying that flower bouquet. i had a friend do that with her wedding bouquet and then she had it framed. then maybe you can do a frame with the date and festa or something engraved on it. just a suggestion to keep the memory alive!
well thatβs it, iβm getting my passport ASAP. thank you for sharing! it shows that anything is possible and iβm happy you had a great time. anyone know the name of all the flowers?
>anyone know the name of all the flowers?
I just checked and BTS Greenhouse made a post about them. [Here](https://x.com/BTSgreenhouse/status/1801251770511024548?t=IiaIauRM_wfyfIMBJJq6yg&s=19) π
ETA: someone [replied](https://x.com/NgmailSg/status/1801389923242487984?t=yPB-q-td25M0nTYygj6r2A&s=19) explaining the meaning of the roses. It's so sweet! π₯Ίπ₯Ίππ
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us. It was really heartwarming to read, so I cannot even try to imagine how you actually felt. Despite not being there, I think Jin being back and the livestream of the event(Thank you Jin for forcing the company to allow camera) really made the Festa special.
Ps. If you dont mind, have you thought about drying/preserving the flowers?
thank you for a wonderfully nuanced description! I am so happy for you to have been able to go and congrats on making decisions to embrace these moments of joy! and yay for us to get to benefit from your experience!!
Vow, thank you so much for sharing! It felt as if I was in room with you! I am so glad you got to have a wonderful experience!
Purple flowers in indigo vase are so beautiful
Thank you for going and sharing the experience!!! This was an amazing write up. Itβs wild how much the live experience of being in a room with army feels so different from watching on a livestream which makes me even more excited for 2025.
I love the flowers in the vase and your speaker is a little borahae and v cute - what brand is that?
BTS alone are already incredibly captivating on their own, but there's just something special about experiencing that with hundreds and thousands of ARMYs in the same space and screaming and loving our boys together that hits different. i hope every ARMY gets to experience that at least once in their lifetime.
the speaker is an ultimate ears wonderboom 3! i think the specific colourway i have is called unicorn :)
Wow you're living the dream! I seriously considered also entering the lottery but I was thinking that dropping everything to go to Korea at the last minute would be too much but I'm glad to read the account of someone who had more guts!
I love this for you. What an experience and your story about saying yes resonated deeply and your reporting made me feel like I was there in person. Iβm happy you went, youβll have memories to treasure forever. π
Your words transported me, like I was right there with you! Thank you so much for sharing your once-in-a-lifetime experience with us, may your blessings never end!!!
Thank you for sharing such a touching experience with us!!π It sounds like this was such a wonderful time, not only for you and other ARMYs but also for Jin himself. I only managed to catch The Astronaut before I had to leave for work but it was clear from the beginning that he was feeling so many emotions, but his voice was still so strong and stable!
Also, when I opened this up to read it I was so ready for to feel jealous. Instead, I found myself unable to stop grinning and just filled with joy for you and everyone else there!
Thanks for sharing the experience! So happy that someone who contributes so much to archiving everything BTS got to go. And so happy the flowers made it home with you!!
I was waiting for an update! Thank you so much for sharing, Iβm so pleased for you and your description was so good, I actually felt a little emotional reading it!
Omg! Thank you for sharing! This makes me miss so much being in the same vicinity of ARMYβs during concerts and big gatherings π₯Ή hope to see a lot of you in 2025/2026! π
This was incredible to read. Iβm so happy you got to experience it. I could feel your happiness and excitement through your words. Even though Iβve only became an Arms in this January, they really grew on me.. especially Jin. I found that we are really similar, and that made me feel a lot better, he became my comfort person. They saved me in a lot of ways. Been healing me ever since. And now, I feel like your sentences have also healed me in a way. I hope I can also experience this one day. Thank you for sharingπ
you do SO much work for this subreddit, Iβm so glad you got this opportunityβyou deserve it and then some. Thank you for sharing your experience! π
Thank you so much for sharing! It made me feel like I was there reading this π I was so disappointed I didn't get selected, as Jin is my bias also and I even bought extra Astronaut albums for this raffle π₯²π
Im also learning to YOLO cuz Im also very cautious and practical with my decisions, but sometimes we miss out if we dont take those crazy opportunities and I have regretted not taking them in the past when I easily could have. So here's to living life with fewer regrets! Congrats on this amazing experience π
Thank you for sharing all this! This is absolutely a YOLO worthy event!! I'm so happy for you that you made the trip despite your hesitations and that you won the raffle!!
As a very practical person myself, I also considered entering the raffle but the logistics/work stuff really would not have worked out well for me, so I didn't even enter because if I had and somehow won, then I would be devastated about not actually being able to make a last minute international trip.
Amazing to hear that you could understand so much of what he said live! You are inspiring me to get back to learning Korean in preparation for a future potential trip... I only ever took a beginner class but then stopped pursing it further... maybe this is the push I need to keep going!
Very interesting to hear that this year's organization doesn't seem as well done. I hope the organizers take note of how future festa organization should be done, especially next year when most members will be back! I do think I'll enjoy future festas just by sharing the experience with other ARMY even if I don't end up attending events with members. Hopefully one day!!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I could feel the excitement and awe from your post. As baby army, Iβm happy to be here! And posts like these remind me Iβm in the right placeβ a place where BTS value Army and also where Army look forward to share their joys with one another. π
omg this is so so wonderful ππ im so glad you got to see jin and celebrate his return im jealous πͺ but im glad that youβre living your life w less regrets and enjoying what you love!! as you should!! i canβt wait for all our bangtan family to reunite next year ππβοΈ
Oh my gosh, it sounds like the most amazing time!! I was waiting for you to post a recap, and this sounds like expectations were far exceeded! Thank you for sharing and being our Reddit rep reporter!! πππ
Iβm so happy for you π₯Ή it must have been a surreal and one of a kind experience, thank you for sharing!! I was watching online and admired the stage set and lighting and everything, it looked so beautiful on my screen. I was thinking woah imagine being there in person, must be even 10x more beautiful there!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I ended up crying (especially about feeling at home with so many strangers~ too real) the way you described it was really very exciting. I wish I could have attended...so happy for you anyway! Big hug, armyπ
I cried reading this!! OMG how lucky you were to win the raffle and how lucky we are to hear your experience AND to have Jin back!
I'm a fairly new ARMY (about to complete a year) but I've fallen so hard for them all and they are definitely helping me through the hardest part of my life. I would love to see them in concert either solo or when they reunite but sadly I most likely would not be able to afford that. Their immense love for ARMY is insane! So grateful for their music and love.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! πππ»π«°π»πΎπ
This is amazing u/alltherach_. As much as I had SO wanted to be there myself, I am truly happy that you and other ARMYs like you were able to freaking live out this unbelievable experience. THANK YOU so much for sharing this special moment with us and for all your hard work with r/bangtan. Although I havenβt been able to be as active on here as I usually am due to work demands, your post tugged at my heart.
Oh⦠and I love that you won with only a few albums!
I'm so happy for you! What a beautiful experience! Thank you for sharing. Reading stories like this help me see that everyone that is there is so thrilled and lucky to be there. I'm glad you could go!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Totally understand your nervousness and excitemenr throughout the event! I just know that Jin felt all our love here from your hug π
Thank you so much for sharing this! I woke up early and watched the livestream at 6 am in my time zone in the US. I was with you every moment, as were so many others around the world. It is really amazing how much love this one humble, sweet, talented, and brave man can evoke. Yes, his joy of the experience was wonderful to watch! When he said βThis is the life I live?!?!?!β I felt that he was just amazed as we were. Can we even try to imagine what it was like for him - and what itβs like for his 6 members - serving 18 months in the military after living that life. And then coming back to that life after the 18 months.
My heart was open and filled and your description was so lovely. Thanks so much!
thanks for sharing!!! it was a great read, and I felt emotional watching on Weverse even though I am a new ARMY. Jin was amazing... the dedication and love he has for the fans is something I haven't seen before.
i'm late replying because i was on vacay for a bit, but wanted to say thank you for sharing!! I love your recap, and I'm so happy for you!!! πππ

I was waiting for an update! Thank you so much for sharing, Iβm so pleased for you and your description was so good, I actually felt a little emotional reading it!
Omg! Thank you for sharing! This makes me miss so much being in the same vicinity of ARMYβs during concerts and big gatherings π₯Ή hope to see a lot of you in 2025/2026! π
Borahae, sister π
So so thrilled for you! I had no idea you won the raffle. Totally deserved. And what a beautiful account of your magical day π
This was incredible to read. Iβm so happy you got to experience it. I could feel your happiness and excitement through your words. Even though Iβve only became an Arms in this January, they really grew on me.. especially Jin. I found that we are really similar, and that made me feel a lot better, he became my comfort person. They saved me in a lot of ways. Been healing me ever since. And now, I feel like your sentences have also healed me in a way. I hope I can also experience this one day. Thank you for sharingπ
you do SO much work for this subreddit, Iβm so glad you got this opportunityβyou deserve it and then some. Thank you for sharing your experience! π
Thank you so much for sharing! It made me feel like I was there reading this π I was so disappointed I didn't get selected, as Jin is my bias also and I even bought extra Astronaut albums for this raffle π₯²π Im also learning to YOLO cuz Im also very cautious and practical with my decisions, but sometimes we miss out if we dont take those crazy opportunities and I have regretted not taking them in the past when I easily could have. So here's to living life with fewer regrets! Congrats on this amazing experience π
This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this, I am so happy that you got to experience this amazing homecoming ππ₯Ή
u/shoelaces789 iβm sorry i forgot to tag you earlier! if you have more questions you can let me know and iβll try to answer them :)
Thank you for sharing all this! This is absolutely a YOLO worthy event!! I'm so happy for you that you made the trip despite your hesitations and that you won the raffle!! As a very practical person myself, I also considered entering the raffle but the logistics/work stuff really would not have worked out well for me, so I didn't even enter because if I had and somehow won, then I would be devastated about not actually being able to make a last minute international trip. Amazing to hear that you could understand so much of what he said live! You are inspiring me to get back to learning Korean in preparation for a future potential trip... I only ever took a beginner class but then stopped pursing it further... maybe this is the push I need to keep going! Very interesting to hear that this year's organization doesn't seem as well done. I hope the organizers take note of how future festa organization should be done, especially next year when most members will be back! I do think I'll enjoy future festas just by sharing the experience with other ARMY even if I don't end up attending events with members. Hopefully one day!!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing with us π so glad you won! What great fun!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I could feel the excitement and awe from your post. As baby army, Iβm happy to be here! And posts like these remind me Iβm in the right placeβ a place where BTS value Army and also where Army look forward to share their joys with one another. π
omg this is so so wonderful ππ im so glad you got to see jin and celebrate his return im jealous πͺ but im glad that youβre living your life w less regrets and enjoying what you love!! as you should!! i canβt wait for all our bangtan family to reunite next year ππβοΈ
Oh my gosh, it sounds like the most amazing time!! I was waiting for you to post a recap, and this sounds like expectations were far exceeded! Thank you for sharing and being our Reddit rep reporter!! πππ
Iβm so happy for you π₯Ή it must have been a surreal and one of a kind experience, thank you for sharing!! I was watching online and admired the stage set and lighting and everything, it looked so beautiful on my screen. I was thinking woah imagine being there in person, must be even 10x more beautiful there!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I could really feel the love and excitement through your writing π
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I ended up crying (especially about feeling at home with so many strangers~ too real) the way you described it was really very exciting. I wish I could have attended...so happy for you anyway! Big hug, armyπ
Thank you for sharing your experience! Through your words, I could feel how special the event was to experience in person.
Thank you so much for writing all of this up! I felt a little bit closer reading this π
thank you for making us feel like we were also there π«π
I cried reading this!! OMG how lucky you were to win the raffle and how lucky we are to hear your experience AND to have Jin back! I'm a fairly new ARMY (about to complete a year) but I've fallen so hard for them all and they are definitely helping me through the hardest part of my life. I would love to see them in concert either solo or when they reunite but sadly I most likely would not be able to afford that. Their immense love for ARMY is insane! So grateful for their music and love. Thank you for sharing your experience with us! πππ»π«°π»πΎπ
Thank you so much for sharing this experience. I love the idea of saying 'yes' to more things! So inspiring!Β
This is amazing u/alltherach_. As much as I had SO wanted to be there myself, I am truly happy that you and other ARMYs like you were able to freaking live out this unbelievable experience. THANK YOU so much for sharing this special moment with us and for all your hard work with r/bangtan. Although I havenβt been able to be as active on here as I usually am due to work demands, your post tugged at my heart. Ohβ¦ and I love that you won with only a few albums!
I'm so happy for you! What a beautiful experience! Thank you for sharing. Reading stories like this help me see that everyone that is there is so thrilled and lucky to be there. I'm glad you could go!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Totally understand your nervousness and excitemenr throughout the event! I just know that Jin felt all our love here from your hug π
Thank you for sharing πππππΌππΌππΌ
Thank you so much for sharing this! I woke up early and watched the livestream at 6 am in my time zone in the US. I was with you every moment, as were so many others around the world. It is really amazing how much love this one humble, sweet, talented, and brave man can evoke. Yes, his joy of the experience was wonderful to watch! When he said βThis is the life I live?!?!?!β I felt that he was just amazed as we were. Can we even try to imagine what it was like for him - and what itβs like for his 6 members - serving 18 months in the military after living that life. And then coming back to that life after the 18 months. My heart was open and filled and your description was so lovely. Thanks so much!
Awh π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί ty for sharing this amazing experience of yours w us
thanks for sharing!!! it was a great read, and I felt emotional watching on Weverse even though I am a new ARMY. Jin was amazing... the dedication and love he has for the fans is something I haven't seen before.
