To keep everyone safe and happy, check the list of banned items before arriving. Food items and other restricted belongings won't be stored by the staff, so plan accordingly. Additional checks and restrictions may also apply based on the security staff's discretion.
Please note that only lines officially managed by the organisers will be recognised. If you try to join an unauthorised waiting line, the organisers won't be responsible for any problems that may come up.
Jin and J-Hope kick off Festa celebrations
BTS kicked off their 12th debut anniversary celebrations with the launch of '2025 BTS FESTA,' featuring a quirky news broadcast video titled '[2025 FESTA] BTS News' on their YouTube channel. Jin and J-Hope starred as anchor and field reporter, delivering witty banter and joyful chemistry.
The theme, 'Twelve O'Clock,' references their track '00:00 (Zero O'Clock),' symbolising new beginnings and a hopeful future with ARMY. Jin explained it represents the future they'll walk together with fans, humorously claiming, "The highlight is my face" during a photo shoot, prompting J-Hope's agreement. They teased fans with promises of more content, saying "No spoilers" with a smile.
A BTS comeback like no other
The 2025 BTS Festa isn't just about celebrating another year; it's about coming back together. With BTS reuniting after their long break, this year's event feels especially meaningful for ARMYs around the world.
The highly anticipated BTS reunion will take place on June 21, after RM, Suga, V, Jimin, and Jungkook complete their mandatory military service.
