    I am so happy!! 💜 WE BACK BABY!

    Namjoon with the sax is too funny. And I thought JK was Jimin at first and was like “oh my GOSH he’s SO buff” 🤣

    Still holding out for my Yoongi crumbs. Please sir, can I have a glimpse.

    Also, can we talk about that glowing skin of his? He’s looking like this after 18 months in the barracks, often out in the elements, without regular access (I have to assume) to fancy skincare treatments? 😮

    Yay Jin is out🎉🎉🎉🎉

    Also all the boys hugs!!! Especially Tae and Jimin ~ ahhhhh soulmates!!!

    Hope at some point we get to see yoongi too

    The photos were so sweet. I noticed Joon has a new scar on his leg and JK has a new scar on his arm. Jin also looked like he had an injection bruise on his arm. Military life is rough.

    Woke up and the first thing I saw was JinMin hugging picture. Teared up. Scrolled and saw SaxJoon and laughed so hard I started *really* crying. Lmaooooo.

    So happy for Jin! And wonderful to see everyone else (and Yoongi in meme-spirit).

    I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw them greet Jin one by one! I was about to cry but then there’s Namjoon playing the sax 🤣🤣🤣.

    I thought Tae was JK at first, he has gotten so buff. The vmin hug was so touching. Forever soulmates 🥹

    I can’t believe Jin is finally out. It would’ve been perfect if Yoongi was there too but seeing the six of them made me so happy 🥹🥰💜

    K-media saying that Yoongi was unable to attend at the base but will be joining them later – I’m not giving up hope for an OT7 photo just yet 🙏

    He’s finally home!! I think the members showing up publicly even after chatter said they will convene privately is their true festa gift to fans. This is so precious. One more years for the final members to finish their enlistment. One down and 6 more to go!

    Omg I can’t stop smiling! the gang back together (wish Yoongi could have been there too), JIN IS OUT ahhh. It feels surreal.

    Joon with the sax is so random and yet makes complete sense 😂😂😂 chaotically perfect.

    And the VMin hug, so healing.

    Seeing this interaction just made me feel so fuzzy and warm. WE BACK!!! 🙌🏻

    Okay I am legit tearing up seeing all the photos. Seeing them happy makes me happy 🥹 Welcome back Jin!!!

    JIN 😭😭😭 WELCOME BACK KING. I can’t believe he is back and free of enlistment discussions 😭😭😭

    namjoon playing his saxophone during the most emotional moment for us is so hilarious to me. It felt like is has been so long since I have seen jk and Jimin and then it clicked this is the first time we’ve seen them since they’ve enlisted. Jimin hugging members like that :(( that vmin hug made me wanna cry. AND YOONGI I MISS YOU

    …I had such a shitty week last week that this is all making up for it!…Seeing him was already emotional, but then I wasn’t expecting to actually SEE the other members – instant tears 😭 They all look great and seeing them embrace each other was just…😭💜…and there was Joon busting out with his saxophone 😎🎷- I fuckin’ died! 🤣…so unexpected, but just what we needed…and this is why we love them, this is why we stay 💜

    I’ve had a very shitty day but the knowledge that Jin’s freedom is looming was constantly a source of light. I’m so happy to see all the images and news articles flooding in. May he and the boys live this day to the fullest!!!

    As an army from Jan 2022, this was my first jin live. Okay before yall come at me 😭 I didn’t have weverse during my baby army days, so I wouldn’t know when he came live unless it was from instagram posts (update posts) and honestly I feel happy knowing that I witnessed his first live. Ughhhhhhh I can’t wait for tomorrow because I wanna see what the Festa live holds for us 😖😖😖💜💜💜

    So if yoongi didn’t take the workday off to go to the first Jindependence, it sure seems like he’s keeping them to leave earlier (for festa next year 🥹)?
