BTS FESTA 2025 brings fans together once again, celebrating the group’s debut anniversary with expanded events both online and in person. The annual festival opened on Sunday and runs through mid-June, drawing global attention from the ARMY fanbase. Every June, the group marks their 2013 debut with a series of commemorative events.
This year’s celebrations include a large-scale offline exhibit set for June 13 and 14 at KINTEX in Goyang. BigHit Music confirmed that the event spans two exhibition halls and features over 20 booths. The label, a subsidiary of HYBE, said it significantly expanded the scope of this year’s FESTA to match growing demand.
Fans can explore installations such as the ARMY Bomb Photo Spot, which features an oversized version of the group’s signature light stick. Coordinated lighting effects will enhance the experience, creating a visual spectacle for attendees. The Trophy Zone displays BTS’s accolades, while the BTS Locker exhibit showcases personal belongings of each member.
Meanwhile, the Voice Zone allows fans to hear pre-recorded messages from the members. These audio segments include reflections, memories, and messages of gratitude. The venue also features creative spaces like the DIY Zone, where fans can make pin buttons and scented sachets. Other highlights include a coloring wall and a Spotify Playlist corner curated by BTS themselves.
BTS FESTA 2025 brings fans together not only through physical events but also through an online content series. Digital releases will continue until June 13 and include appearances by Jin and J-Hope. Both idols completed their mandatory military service earlier this year and will rejoin promotional activities soon.
BigHit Music thanked fans in a statement, noting their efforts to create “joyful and lasting memories” for the community. The company emphasized its focus on accessibility, atmosphere, and interactive programming. Sponsors will provide free merchandise at designated booths throughout the venue, enhancing the sense of fan appreciation.
This edition of FESTA carries added emotional weight. All seven BTS members are nearing the end of their military service, with discharges expected by late June. RM and V are set to return on June 10, while Jimin and Jung Kook follow a day later. Suga, currently a public service worker, completes his term on June 21.
J-Hope will also hold two encore concerts, “HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL,” on June 13 and 14 at Goyang Sports Complex. Since six members will have completed their military service by then, speculation over a possible reunion onstage is mounting. Fans hope to see even a brief appearance by the group during these performances.
BTS FESTA 2025 brings fans together during a transitional moment for the group. Their last official release as a full unit was the 2022 anthology album Proof. Their most recent live concert was Yet to Come in Busan in October 2022. While hopes for a group comeback continue to grow, insiders caution against expecting an immediate release.
According to industry analysts, the group may need several months to prepare new music and regroup creatively. However, the signs of reactivation are clear, and fans remain patient. As June unfolds, anticipation builds for a new chapter in BTS’s decade-long legacy.
