BTS Wishes Fans a Joyous Chuseok with Heartfelt Greetings from Jin and RM

Celebrate Chuseok with BTS

BTS' Jin and RM celebrated Chuseok by sending their warm wishes to fans in distinct ways. Jin released an official video, hoping for a cozy and joyful Chuseok, while RM took a playful approach by sharing a meme to engage with fans and wish them on Instagram.

Jin's Touching Video Greeting

In the video, Jin, dressed in a traditional outfit, warmly greets his fans and wishes them a Happy Chuseok. He asks, "Are you enjoying your holiday?" and adds, "It feels like I was just discharged yesterday. Time sure flies." Jin reflects on how his fans have worked hard this year and encourages them to make great memories together for the rest of 2024. He concludes with a heartfelt message, saying, "I hope you spend Hangawi full of happiness with your loved ones," before cutely bidding his fans goodbye.

RM's Playful Meme for Fans

BTS leader RM also wished fans a Happy Chuseok on Instagram on Monday, September 16th, using a playful meme. In the picture, a character in the popular meme asks Monday, "From where are you suddenly popping out so rudely?" RM added a drawing of scissors in the next story, playing on the festival’s other name. In Korean, a pair of scissors is called "han gawi," which sounds similar to "Hangawi," another name for Chuseok. This clever wordplay created a humorous and lighthearted way to celebrate the festival with fans.

BTS Members' Military Service

All six members of BTS—RM, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—are currently enlisted in the military, with Jin being the first to be discharged. J-Hope is next in line to complete his service. Since their debut, BTS has highlighted hip hop as their musical foundation, heavily influenced by RM and Suga’s backgrounds as underground rappers.

BTS continues to embrace its hip hop roots, while their sound has evolved and diversified over time. Additionally, the band members have explored various genres through their solo tracks. BTS aims to share personal stories that connect with younger generations. By writing many of their own lyrics, the group addresses universal experiences like sadness and loneliness, transforming these themes into uplifting messages. Their fanbase continues to grow significantly, and the group anticipates reuniting in 2025 after all members complete their military service.
