Dallas Lights Up Purple, Stars Join the Celebration
In a unique crossover, the local NHL team Dallas Stars presented Jin with a custom jersey labeled “JIN 1.” Donning the jersey during a soundcheck, Jin thrusted fans into excitement not just with his visuals but with his gracious embrace of the moment.
The official AAC account sealed the warm reception with this message: “It was so good to have Jin and ARMY here 💜” accompanied by a finger heart emoji—an affectionate nod to BTS fandom vocabulary.
