"WE ARE BACK"
On the 9th, the exterior wall of the HYBE building in Yongsan, Seoul was wrapped with the official logo of BTS and ARMY (the fandom name) along with the phrase "WE ARE BACK." This wrapping is part of the annual festival 'BTS FESTA' that celebrates BTS's debut date (June 13) and will remain until the 29th.
The phrase feels even more special as all members are soon to return to fans after completing their military service. With Jin and J-Hope, who have already returned, actively continuing their activities in their own ways, expectations for BTS's group activities are also rising.
BTS has decorated the exterior wall of the building with iconic phrases such as "BTS PRESENTS EVERYWHERE" in 2023 and "A.P.O.B" (ARMY Forever, BTS Forever) in 2024. This year, they leave a strong impression of their return with a concise yet powerful message.
In addition, ahead of the offline event taking place on the 13th and 14th at KINTEX Hall 9-10 in Goyang, the surrounding area has been filled with a festive atmosphere. A photo wall commemorating '2025 BTS FESTA' has been set up in Ilsan Lake Park, and banners have been hung at the Ilsan Seo-gu Office and Goyang Tourism Information Center, further raising the excitement for the upcoming event.
The offline event will take place from 10 AM to 7 PM on both days and is open to everyone. Attendees can enjoy the 'VOICE ZONE' featuring voice messages from the members, the 'TROPHY ZONE' displaying major trophies received by BTS and ARMY, and various programs including the 'Signature Light Show' linked to the ARMY bomb, which will be held for 5 minutes at the top of every hour starting at noon, providing joy to fans.
