BTS member Jin has opened up about the heartfelt reason behind his tears during his discharge ceremony.

On the afternoon of the 13th, Jin participated in the fan event 'Seokjin on June 13, 2024, Weather: Clear' held at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, alongside other BTS members (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook).

Reflecting on his emotional discharge ceremony on the 12th, Jin shared, "We had promised not to shed tears on the day of our discharge, but seeing my fellow soldiers cry made me emotional too. I was particularly looking forward to one friend who joked about clinging to my legs on my discharge day, but it didn't happen, which was a bit disappointing."

Jin also reminisced about his military days, expressing, "During my time away, I often wondered how everyone was doing. I had a great time bonding with many younger friends during my service. Now, as new recruits join at my age, I joke with them, asking, 'Hey, what year were you born?'"

Having completed his mandatory military service as a sergeant at the 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi Province, Jin's discharge marked a significant milestone.

BTS members RM, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, except Suga who is currently serving in public service, visited the 5th Infantry Division to celebrate Jin's return, making him the first member of the group to complete military service.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
