BTS debuted in the music industry on June 13, 2013 with the release of their first single "2 Cool 4 School", and today marks their 12th debut anniversary as a "world-clαѕѕ group".
This year's June 13 is even more meaningful as most of the members have completed their mandatory military service. RM and V were discharged on the 10th, while Jimin and Jungkook were discharged on the 11th.
Meanwhile, fans are most looking forward to the last member to complete his military service on the 21st - SUGA, who is currently serving as a community worker. SUGA's return also officially marks the day BTS reunites with the full lineup.
These days, the other members are all active on SNS, making fans' anticipation for SUGA even higher. Happily, fans finally received a new message from him in the 2025 BTS FESTA Voice Zone.
“Hello, this is Suga. I feel like it's been so long since I got to greet you. Army, have you been doing well? I've been spending my time waiting for the day I get to see you again. I miss you so much. I love you, everyone”, SUGA sincerely expressed his feelings to fans.
ARMYs were overwhelmed with emotion when they heard SUGA's voice after nearly 2 years, especially in the context of OT7's anniversary and the recent false rumors surrounding the male rapper.
There were even some news from the кσяєαn media that recalled the incident last year with article titles such as "SUGA might not overcome the DUI scandal'... BTS fully reunites, is it possible?", referring to the wave of protests to remove SUGA from BTS. Some anti-fans also took the opportunity to repost false rumors about SUGA in the military such as being lazy and neglecting military service.
SUGA's confirmation of his return to meet ARMYs has fans reαѕѕured about BTS's reunion this year and excited to see him back soon after so many negative things:
- He's talking with the same gentle parenting tone as he did in his last live! OMG, my tears
- His soft laugh, I miss him so much. Look at this haters, he'll be back soon and diss you
- Omg yoongi my baby ughh I missed him so much. Omg I can't believe this. I'm so nervous these days
- I didn’t think his sound will affect me like this.. I can’t stop crying.. my baby.. my Yoongi baby…
- I'm literally in tears. I know people tend to overuse that phrase as just an expression but y'all, I'm literally in tears. I miss him so much
- I see that as soon as he shows his face, haters will start again, so I wonder what his first appearance will be like? Well, just try to stay strong and you'll get through it all, otherwise this matter will be repeated over and over again.
- He promised to come back, he will definitely come back. I know they will target SUI Case but nothing can stop the reunion of OT7 and ARMY
- He appeared on the anniversary day, in the situation where many people expected him the most. So touching!
Meanwhile, BTS will hold their debut anniversary event, '2025 BTS Festa', at KINTEX in Goyang from the 13th to the 14th. 20 booths will be set up in two halls. This is a place where a large number of people can gather without any problems, and since it is an indoor space that is not affected by the weather, it is expected to be an enjoyable viewing experience.
j-hope's encore concerts of his world tour 'Hope on the Stage' will also be held at the stadium near the Festa venue. Since this is a concert held on the same day as 'BTS Festa' and on BTS's debut anniversary, the enthusiasm of fans is even hotter.
Jungkook and Jimin made a surprise visit to 'BTS Festa' after being discharged from the military and are attracting attention by posting photos taken at the photo booth on SNS.
In addition, various exhibition spaces are prepared such as 'VOICE ZONE', where you can listen to voice messages from the members, 'TROPHY ZONE', where you can look back on the achievements of BTS and ARMY together, and 'BTS LOCKER', where you can see the artists' favorite items.
Various experience programs also contribute to the fun of visitors. 'DIY ZONE', where you can make pins and scented sachets, 'COLORING WALL', where you can color the album cover, 'SPOTIFY PLAYLIST', where you can listen to music selected by BTS, and many generous gifts are given out through various sponsorship corners.
