Ahead of BTS' much-anticipated reunion, Seoul goes bright purple with fan tributes; take a look
The city of Seoul has always pulsed with the rhythm of K-pop, and this June, it beats to the heart of seven brothers coming home. As BTS nears its long-awaited reunion, the streets of South Korea's capital have become a living love letter from ARMY to their idols. Towering banners flutter from rooftops, subway stations glow with purple hues, and the city breathes a message loud enough for the world to hear: 'BTS IS BACK.' Seoul's skyline is now dotted with tributes — some sleek and commercial, others handmade with glitter and heart. According to the numerous tweets and posts on social media, it's hard to take a walk through the city without seeing the band's smiling faces or a heartfelt slogan declaring things like: Golden Return, Jungkook, Jimin Is Back, and more. Even HYBE couldn't resist the energy. The label added its own seismic message: 'We Are Back.' Just three words that sent fan communities into joyful chaos. Another event looming on the horizon is BTS FESTA — an annual celebration that, this year, feels more like a resurrection. Set for June 13 and 14 at the KINTEX Exhibition Centre 2 in Goyang, the festival also happens to fall on the group's 12th anniversary. While no live member appearances have been confirmed, fans are reading between every line, every post, every beat. The official theme? Twelve O'Clock, drawn from BTS' popular ballad Zero O'Clock — a song about endings, beginnings, and the silent moment when everything resets. RM and V are due to return on June 10. Jimin and Jungkook will follow on June 11. And though SUGA's discharge on June 21 comes a little later, fans are already weaving him into the celebration.

The decorations, revealed on Monday, will remain on display through June 29 as part of this year's BTS Festa – HYBE's annual celebration of the group's debut. The milestone is particularly emotional for fans this time, as it marks the first time in years that all members will be together again. BTS debuted on June 13, 2013, and will mark 12 years in the industry on Friday.

Jin, the eldest member, completed his service earlier and is expected to be among the first to participate in full-group activities. This year's Festa includes immersive exhibitions featuring the band's awards, personal voice messages from each member, and a light show. The event will take place at Kintex in Goyang, Gyeonggi, on June 13 and 14. Fans can also visit a special photo zone at Ilsan Lake Park, while nearby city offices will display celebratory banners. Over the years, HYBE has marked BTS' anniversary with powerful slogans. In 2023 and 2024, the agency adorned its headquarters with 'BTS Presents Everywhere" and 'Army Forever BTS Forever," respectively. This year, 'We Are Back" encapsulates the excitement and emotion of a long-awaited reunion. While their official group comeback is slated for 2025, the signs are clear that BTS is on their way back, and the world is ready. For ARMY, this isn't just a comeback, it's the beginning of a new era. First Published: June 09, 2025, 20:53 IST
