HYBE (하이브) Chairman Bang Si-hyuk (방시혁) shared a celebratory photo with BTS (방탄소년단) member Jin (진), marking his return from military service.

On June 13, Bang Si-hyuk posted on his Instagram, “With Jin. Congratulations on your successful return!” along with a photo of himself and Jin, who had just been discharged from the military the previous day.

The photo captures Jin in a suit holding a bouquet of flowers, standing beside Bang Si-hyuk. Jin’s freshly cut hair and Bang Si-hyuk’s slightly leaner appearance caught the attention of fans.

Jin, the first BTS member to enlist, completed his active duty service on June 12. The next day, he greeted fans at the '2024 Festa' event held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Meanwhile, HYBE, led by Bang Si-hyuk, has recently faced internal conflicts with ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin(민희진), who manages the group NewJeans (뉴진스), over management rights.
