BTS Festa 2025 schedule revealed, and here's why fans think a reunion is on the way
Life just got a whole lot brighter for ARMY because the countdown has officially begun: BTS FESTA 2025 is happening, and it promises more than just nostalgia. Marking the global supergroup's 12th anniversary, this year's FESTA will take place on June 13 and 14 at the KINTEX Exhibition Centre 2 in Goyang, South Korea. For fans around the world, this isn't just another celebratory milestone, it's a long-awaited turning point that hints at something even bigger. The month-long BTS FESTA officially kicked off on May 31 with a surprise. In a move only BTS could pull off, fans were gifted with a playful yet meaningful video titled '[2025 FESTA] BTS News,' starring none other than Jin and J-Hope — the first two members to complete their military service. The video was styled like a mock news broadcast, with Jin stepping into the role of a cheeky news anchor and J-Hope bringing his signature energy as the on-the-ground correspondent. More than just a skit, it carried a message that hit home for ARMY everywhere: they're back — and they've missed us just as much as we've missed them. This year's FESTA arrives at a deeply emotional moment. Several members, including RM and the younger line, are expected to complete their military service this month. With that, the possibility of a full-group reunion finally feels within reach. While BigHit hasn't confirmed any live performances or member appearances, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Every FESTA carries a theme, and 2025's theme, Twelve O'Clock, is inspired by BTS's ballad Zero O'Clock — a song of new beginnings. Adding fuel to the excitement, the official FESTA website includes a tantalising message: 'Time for us to meet again. On June 13, 2025, beyond a long wait, we begin our festival together again, as 'us.'' The word 'us' has already become a point of hopeful speculation across fan forums and social media. Could it mean that the members will reunite on stage? Or is it more symbolic — a nod to the eternal bond between BTS and ARMY? One thing's certain: the air is thick with hope. The event itself promises a fully immersive BTS experience. Attendees will be able to explore a FESTA-themed game zone, take part in DIY photo card-making, and contribute to a large-scale colouring wall inspired by BTS' iconic album artwork. There will also be hourly light shows, a voice zone featuring messages recorded by the members, and an exhibit showcasing past album covers, trophies, and even the members' personalised lockers. Meanwhile, online content will roll out for global fans, including the much-loved BTS LIVE and the release of their annual family portrait. Limited-edition merchandise is also expected to drop, as always. The memory of last year's FESTA still lingers. In 2024, Jin made headlines with his first public appearance after completing military service. Not only did he greet 1,000 lucky fans with individual hugs — a gesture that moved many to tears — but he also performed his solo tracks. Although the other members were still enlisted at the time, each of them sent letters that were shared during the event, reminding fans of their unwavering connection. Now, with the return of more members on the horizon and the group's next chapter slowly coming into view, the 2025 FESTA feels like more than just a party. Whether or not all seven members take the stage this June, the message is clear: the wait is almost over.

BTS FESTA 2025: Jin and J-Hope kick off 12th-anniversary bash, all we know so far from theme to new content plan
ARMYs around the world, the celebration has officially begun! On May 31, 2025, BTS unveiled the first video for this year's FESTA and it's already winning hearts. Kicking off the group's 12th anniversary celebration, Jin and J-Hope came together for a playful, cleverly-produced video titled '[2025 FESTA] BTS News.' Styled like a news broadcast, the clip showcases the members in full character mode: Jin as the composed, occasionally smug anchor and J-Hope as the cheerful, energetic reporter in the field. More than just a comedy skit, this video marks the start of FESTA. It is an annual celebration where BTS reflects on their journey, shares special content with fans, and commemorates their debut on June 13, 2013. With the group's full reunion just around the corner, this year's FESTA holds a deeper meaning. 'Twelve O'Clock' theme Every FESTA comes with a unique theme, and this year's is titled Twelve O'Clock. This is a reference to the group's song 00:00 (Zero O'Clock). The choice isn't arbitrary, it carries a powerful message of hope, new beginnings, and unity with ARMY. Jin, who took on the anchor role, explained the sentiment behind the name, 'It represents the future we'll walk together with ARMY.' The duo hints at more FESTA content The video is packed with the kind of humor and self-awareness BTS is known for. During a staged photoshoot segment, Jin playfully boasted, 'The highlight is my face.' J-Hope couldn't help but laugh, agreeing with the deadpan statement while teasing Jin about his confidence. The duo's comfortable chemistry made for a lighthearted yet meaningful segment. They reflected on the joy of filming together again, clearly enjoying themselves as they delivered lines full of inside jokes and off-the-cuff humor. Though fans were eager for spoilers, the two made it clear: more content is coming but they won't spill anything early. 'No spoilers,' they grinned. J-Hope poses as ARMY in hilarious sketch call One of the video's most delightful moments was a surprise skit featuring a fictional call from a longtime BTS fan. The twist? The fan was actually played by J-Hope himself, complete with a high-pitched voice and over-the-top excitement. The '12-year ARMY' character gushed about how hard it was to get tickets to J-Hope's and Jin's solo concerts. 'It was so hard to get tickets, my fingers still hurt,' the character cried, before cheering, 'I love you BTS! I love you J-Hope!' The segment was both funny and heartwarming. A FESTA forecast If fans thought the video couldn't get more creative, J-Hope upped the ante with a surprise weather report. He confidently predicted the emotional temperature for the month of June. He said, for this whole month, fans' excitement will be 'over 30°C.' He further added that June 13 and 14 would be '6.13°C hotter than usual'. His festive forecast was as silly as it was sweet, leaving fans both laughing and touched by the attention to detail. Members prepare for discharge Though the FESTA 2025 content is currently being led by Jin and J-Hope, the only two members discharged from military service, the energy is far from limited. The rest of the members (RM, SUGA, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) are set to complete their service later this month. With a full-group reunion in sight, this year's FESTA feels like the calm before a tidal wave of content. ARMYs are eagerly awaiting what lies ahead, from potential new music to long-awaited performances and full-member reunions.
