The 2023 BTS FESTA is coming to an end!
K-Pop Blog > News> BTS
Already since 2014 the so-called BTS FESTA project takes place every year. This project celebrates the anniversary of the popular boy band and this year the festivities are already in full swing!
The BTS Festa looks a little different every year. Often exclusive new content for fans like choreography videos, special songs or even a photo book is released. There are also various events that take place over several days or weeks.
Did you catch any of the festivities this year? For the round 10th anniversary, of course, no efforts were spared and there was something to experience not only in South Korea, but also in other countries like Germany. And BTS themselves have also prepared some gifts, such as a new single.
Did you miss all that? We have summarized a few events of the last weeks for you.
Read to the end to find out for which event you can still get tickets!
An absolute highlight is of course the new single "Take Two". Almost two weeks ago, the boy group uploaded the song and a live clip with all seven members on their Youtube channel BANGTANTV. In addition, there are focus videos of each individually. For those who want to focus on a specific member.
And this is just one of 3 live clips released as part of the 2023 BTS Festa. Namely, since June 7, fans have been able to watch a live performance by Jimin. In the clip, he sings the song "Dear. ARMY" from his first solo album FACE. The latest clip is called "Le Jazz de V". In it, V sings a cover of two songs "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and "Cheek To Cheek" with singer Minna Seo.
And those aren't all the new clips on BANGTANTV. Three weeks ago, the boy group uploaded a series of dance practice videos. But these are actually old videos in which Jungkook, J-Hope and co. are even younger and dance to earlier hits like "Boy With Luv," "Anpanman" and "I NEED U".
The biggest event was undoubtedly BTS 10TH ANNIVERSARY FESTA @YEOUIDO on June 17. It was held at Yeouido Hangang Park, where BTS held their first fan sign event. So the place is associated with a special memory.
On the day, fans could see exhibited photos and stage outfits of BTS, take photos in photo stations, dance together and try temporary tattoos, among other things. Of course, the visitors liked RM's performance the most! The charismatic leader hosted a live radio program on stage for an hour. The finale was a great firework, which was accompanied by a narration by Jungkook.
In Seoul as well as in New York and Los Angeles, BIGHIT MUSIC and the American label Geffen Record launched the #FindBTSPresents campaign.
They hid various gifts in the cities and asked fans to look for them and tweet photos with the hashtag. The gifts were billboards with messages from BTS to their fans. K-pop fans are known to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries of their stars with such ad campaigns. This time, to return the favor, BTS launched such a campaign themselves. They are celebrating their fans!
Events outside of South Korea:
A trip on a cruise ship, from Port Canaveral in Florida to the Bahamas. That's exactly what 130 ARMY's were able to experience from June 12-16! Activities included cocktail parties, pool parties, excursions and more. Fans celebrated BTS 10th anniversary together on the high seas and will surely remember this unusual experience for a long time!
As you can see, the festivities are coming to an end, but not all events are over yet!
