BTS Unveils 2025 BTS FESTA Featuring News-Style Skit by Jin and J-Hope
BTS has kicked off the ‘2025 BTS FESTA’ to celebrate their 12th debut anniversary, blending humor and heartfelt messages to engage their global fanbase. The theme this year, ‘Twelve O’Clock’, is inspired by their song ‘00:00 (Zero O’Clock)’, symbolizing new beginnings and a collective hopeful future with ARMY. As Jin noted, > “It represents the future we’ll walk together with ARMY.”
On May 31, 2025, KST, a self-produced video titled ‘[2025 FESTA] BTS News’ was released on their YouTube channel. The duo of Jin and J-Hope took center stage in this quirky news-style broadcast, with Jin acting as the anchor and J-Hope providing field reports. Their witty exchanges and genuine chemistry made for a delightful viewing experience.
In a playful moment during a photoshoot, Jin joked, > “The highlight is my face,” to which J-Hope humorously agreed, saying, > “Absolutely.” They shared their excitement about filming and promised fans more content to come, cheekily teasing, > “No spoilers.”
One of the funniest sections featured J-Hope impersonating a fictional 12-year-old ARMY member during a scripted phone call. The “fan” expressed excitement for J-Hope’s solo concerts on June 13–14, 2025, KST, and Jin’s concert later that month, joking, > “It was so hard to get tickets, my fingers still hurt.” The call wrapped up with a cheerful shout: > “I love you BTS! I love you J-Hope!”
In another segment, J-Hope transformed into a weathercaster, humorously forecasting “over 30°C” of fan excitement throughout June. He cleverly added that June 13 and 14 would be “6.13°C hotter than usual,” referencing the date of BTS’s debut.
TRENDINGWhile most members are currently in military service, Jin and J-Hope, who’ve already completed their duties, were featured through pre-produced content. This thoughtful planning allowed BTS to maintain a connection with ARMY during their time apart, ensuring all seven members are present in this year’s festivities.
As the celebrations unfold, it’s clear that BTS remains dedicated to their fans, proving that even distance can’t diminish their bond.
