His fellow BTS members RM, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook were also there to greet him. Suga met the members later at the HYBE building to celebrate.
Yet, ARMYs noticed some more persons who greeted Jin at his discharge.
Naturally, the beloved BTS bodyguard was there. Jin looked so happy to reunite with everyone!

While HYBE chairman and founder Bang Si Hyuk (also known as Hitman Bang and Bang PD) usually attends BTS events, their current CEO was present. The former BigHit Entertainment vice president and current BIGHIT MUSIC CEO, Shin Young Jae, appeared to be the man who gave Jin his large bouquet.

Many ARMYs hadn’t recognized him, as he is pretty low-key.
He is the CEO of bighit? I thought he was jin’s manager.. this is just proof of how lowky the CEO of bighit is. https://t.co/7aLdZSp2CM
