BTS Announces FESTA Event on June 13 to Mark 11th Anniversary

K-pop group BTS has announced a special in-person event, 'BTS FESTA,' to celebrate their 11th anniversary on June 13, 2024. This year's FESTA is particularly significant as it features an appearance by Jin, the eldest member, who will be attending despite being on military duty.

The event will take place at the Jamsil Arena in the Jamsil Sports Complex, Songpa-gu, Seoul. It will consist of two main sessions: 'Jin's Greetings' and 'Message from Jin.'

'Jin's Greetings,' scheduled for the afternoon, will allow 1,000 fans to meet Jin up close. Fans can choose between receiving a light hug or a handshake. This session will last for three hours and will not be streamed online.

The evening session, 'Message from Jin,' will begin at 8 PM KST and feature various performances by Jin. This session will be streamed live on Weverse exclusively for ARMY Membership holders and is expected to last about an hour.

HYBE, BTS's management company, stated, 'This event was organized to fulfill Jin's desire to spend meaningful time with ARMY in person on BTS' debut day. We invite you to join us as we express our appreciation for your unwavering love for BTS.

In addition to the main sessions, a 'Ground Event' will be held at the Seoul Sports Complex. ARMY Membership holders can win a designated souvenir at the ARMY ZONE, and fans can engage in various activities and connect with fellow fans at the PLAY ZONE.

The 2024 FESTA will also include a series of online contents, including the release of unreleased photos, live-streaming of previous concerts 'BANG BANG CON,' and handwritten contents from each of the seven members. The official timetable for these releases was shared on June 1 through BTS' official X account.

Despite the absence of the other BTS members, who are currently serving their mandatory military duties, the event will celebrate the group's bond with their fans, known as ARMY. Fans who cannot attend the event have expressed their heartbreak on social media, with some recalling RM's words about Jin 'fulfilling the space.'

BTS's 2024 FESTA promises to be a memorable celebration of their 11-year path, highlighting their ongoing connection with fans and paving the way for their future activities.
