BTS FESTA 2025
Earlier, their agency released a statement confirming the discharge of RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, noting that no official events had been planned for the day of their return. They also urged fans not to gather or visit the discharge sites.
Interestingly, the discharge coincides with BTS’s anniversary—June 13, when the group turns 12. As with every year, BTS will celebrate with their annual FESTA. This year’s theme is ‘Twelve O’Clock,’ inspired by their 2020 track ‘Zero O’Clock.’ Fans believe the theme is more than symbolic, suggesting the dawn of a new era for BTS.
