Celebrating 12 years of BTS: Every Festa song by Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V & Jung Kook from 2014 to 2024

The year 2025 marks a major milestone for BTS and their devoted fandom, ARMY. When the members began enlisting for their mandatory military service in 2022, some wondered if the group’s global influence might decline. Instead, BTS only soared higher. Each member embarked on solo journeys under "Chapter 2," showcasing their unique artistry and strengthening their bond with fans.

Now, with all seven—Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook—set to reunite in June, anticipation is at an all-time high—especially as June 13 marks BTS' 12th debut anniversary.

What is BTS FESTA?

FESTA is BTS' annual two-week celebration leading up to their debut date. Hosted by BigHit Music, it delivers a packed content schedule for ARMY, including family portraits, unreleased photos, practice videos, member profiles, and surprise songs. The event often concludes with a special performance or concert featuring rare or never-before-seen stages—making FESTA both a tribute and a gift to their fans.

Theme for 2025: "Twelve O'Clock"

This year's FESTA is themed "Twelve O'Clock," inspired by the group's emotional track 00:00 (Zero O'Clock)—a song about quiet beginnings and hope in uncertain times. The theme reflects where both BTS and ARMY stand: on the verge of a powerful new era, filled with renewed love, strength, and anticipation.

As the festivities begin, let's revisit all the past FESTA anniversary songs from 2014 to 2024. While no official 2025 FESTA track has been announced, J-Hope is set to release his third single, Killin' It Girl featuring GloRilla, on June 13 at 1 PM KST. Many believe this exciting release may be this year's unofficial FESTA song—adding to the emotion and energy as BTS steps into a long-awaited reunion.

Whether you're a new ARMY or just feeling nostalgic, here's a look back at every BTS FESTA tracks released over the years.
