BTS has officially announced a special two-day offline event for their 12th anniversary celebration called 2025 BTS FESTA. The event will take place on June 13 and 14, 2025, at KINTEX 2 Exhibition Center in Goyang-si, South Korea. This marks their first major in-person FESTA since the members began their military service.
The event will feature interactive booths, photo zones, and exclusive activities for ARMYs. Gates open at 9:00 AM KST, with activities running from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM KST. Fans must arrive before 6:00 PM KST for final entry. The venue includes Halls 9 and 10, each offering unique experiences.
Jin and J-Hope, who have completed their military service, will lead the celebrations. The other members—RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook, and Suga—are expected to join shortly after their discharge dates in June. This FESTA is seen as a prelude to BTS’s full group comeback later in 2025.
The theme for this year’s FESTA is “Twelve O’Clock”, inspired by their song 00:00 (Zero O’Clock), symbolizing new beginnings. A pre-recorded video titled [2025 FESTA] BTS News featuring Jin and J-Hope has already been released, teasing more content to come.
“Twelve o’clock represents the time we begin again. It’s the future we’ll walk together with ARMY,” Jin said in the video. J-Hope added, “We’re back, and we missed you.”

Fan Reactions
Fans worldwide are excited about the event. One ARMY tweeted:
“The way this year’s BTS FESTA theme is based on Zero O’Clock & it hits harder when you remember that MOTS7 was meant to be their last album before enlisting. Now only happy days ahead…💜”

“My poor finger [trying to get tickets] It hurts so much. It was hard, but I got the tickets.”
