BTS Reveals Plans for 2025 Festa Celebration in South Korea

BTS has revealed new details about their upcoming 2025 FESTA, marking the K-pop group’s 12th anniversary.

FESTA is a yearly event that brings together BTS and their fans, ARMY, to celebrate their debut anniversary.

This year’s offline celebration is set for June 13–14 at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, South Korea. 

The event will be open to the public and feature interactive activities, including a FESTA-themed game zone, DIY photo card stations, and a coloring wall inspired by BTS’ album artwork.

Attendees can also enjoy hourly light shows, explore a voice zone featuring messages from the BTS members, and visit an archive exhibit showcasing album covers, trophies and the members’ personalized lockers.

In conjunction with the in-person festivities, a lineup of online content — such as the annual “BTS LIVE” and the family portrait — will be released. Exclusive merchandise will also be available.

It remains unclear whether any BTS members — Jin, RM, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — will appear or perform at this year’s FESTA. 

At the 2024 FESTA, Jin made his first public appearance after completing his mandatory military service, personally greeting 1,000 fans with hugs. 

He also performed solo tracks “The Astronaut” and “Super Tuna,” along with BTS’ “Moon.” 

While none of the other BTS members were able to attend last year’s FESTA, each wrote heartfelt letters to ARMY that were shared during the event.

BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, began forming in 2010 after Big Hit Entertainment founder Bang Si-hyuk recruited RM followed by Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. However, the band officially debuted in 2013.

Since then, the artists have gone on to experience dynamite success, including two Grammy nominations, six no. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and an ARMY of fans.

In recent years, each of the seven members has also made a mark individually, with all scoring solo entries on the Hot 100.
