Fans are gearing up for the 2025 BTS FESTA, marking the 12th anniversary since the group entered the K-pop music scene. While the information is kept under wraps, more information is released near the event. The event takes a look back at never-seen-before moments, new song releases, and much more to commemorate the group's journey! This would follow the group's reunion in June after the expected military discharge of Jimin, V, Jungkook, Suga, and RM.

Among its members, J-Hope is looking forward to the fest and also to his reunion with the group. He recently went on a live following his Jakarta performance as part of the Hope On The Stage Tour on May 5. X user @mhereonlyforbts shared a clip on their channel, sharing J-hope's thoughts about the BTS FESTA. They roughly translated the message in which the singer describes the BTS FESTA as a,

"meaningful day."

He explained that it will align with the other members' "discharge from the military." He added,

"I'm very touched to perform during that period, and it also means a lot to me, and I think it's FESTA-like news."

ARMYS are hoping for BTS Festa in the upcoming month, following the group' reunion. The speculations were fueled after BTS reportedly released a question for their fans on BTS Weverse. The 12 questions are linked to fans' favorite moments, music, and much more.

J-Hope appeared on the Zach Sang Show on May 6 to talk about his music and upcoming reunion. He also talked about how their music process will change once the members unite. He noted that each member has gone through "personal growth and growing pains", and has learnt "many things" along the way. He added,

"And then when we reunite after doing our own things, those experiences will fill us with new strength and energy. And now that's very soon. Everyone has grown while pursuing their solo projects. I think that will all contribute to the music that we create as BTS."
