After June 2022’s FESTA dinner, where BTS announced they would be taking a small hiatus from group activities to begin Chapter Two. What followed was a never-ending timeline of old and new content, with each member exploring their artistic side with new albums.
As Chapter Two comes to a close, and with members Jin and j-Hope now discharged from the military, it won’t be long before the remaining members complete their service as well. June marks a fresh and exciting new beginning for BTS, coinciding with their 12th anniversary since debut. Of course, June means one thing: FESTA. A time for BTS to share special content, as well as new material with fans. On June 1st, Jin and j-Hope kicked things off with a playful spoof titled BTS News. Where it featured mock interviews, cute impressions of fans, and a cryptic FESTA schedule.

The offline event has been revealed that it will be held at KINTEX Exhibition Centre 2 in Goyang, South Korea, on June 13-14th KST. As with every year, the attendance is expected to see both local and international fans who will also be watching j-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE: The final. Which will also be held on the 13th and 14th.
This year's activities promise to be on a bigger scale and spectacle. Showcasing a wide variety of interactive programmes inspired by BTS’ ongoing influence and their annual FESTA tradition. Highlights include a FESTA-themed game zone, DIY stations for creating photo cards, sachets, and pins, as well as a colouring wall featuring BTS' album artwork.
ARMY can also explore various photo spots designed in the shape of the ARMY BOMB, BTS’ official light stick, and a whale, a symbolic motif associated with the band. A special lighting show taking place hourly that will synchronise with the motion of each visitor’s ARMY BOMB, adding another level of excitement to the spectacle.
Fans will also have the chance to listen to special voice messages from the BTS members at the voice zone and browse an archive featuring BTS’ album artwork, trophies, and each member's personalised lockers.
Additionally, 2025 FESTA kicks off with a series of online content, including the beloved annual features like ‘BTS LIVE’ and the family portrait, along with a slew of new content and exclusive merchandise for fans to enjoy throughout the first two weeks of June.
Each year, the festival has been visited by fans from all over the world. But 2025 is an extra celebration for both the boys and fans alike, holding a special significance. It marks all of the seven members' completion of military service in June. It's a heartwarming gift to ARMY, a testament to their unwavering love and support, and a reflection of the strong bond between BTS and their fans.
