The event continues with more fan activities, live light shows, and exclusive merch before wrapping up. Also, j-hope will conclude his first solo world tour, HOPE ON THE STAGE, with two encore shows in Seoul on June 13 and 14.
Why 2025 BTS Festa Is Special
As stated earlier, there is so much hype surrounding the reunion of the BTS members. All members except Suga will complete their military service before June 13. So, there is a strong possibility that they will participate in some of the celebrations. This Festa sets the stage for their full-group comeback later in 2025 or early 2026.
The theme ‘Twelve O’Clock’ aptly reflects BTS’ message of hope and new beginnings. They will begin a new chapter in their career post-military service. BIGHIT MUSIC has doubled the event scale, ensuring more immersive activities than in previous years.
