BTS Reveals Plans for 2025 Festa Celebration in South Korea
BTS has revealed new details about their upcoming 2025 FESTA, marking the K-pop group's 12th anniversary.
FESTA is a yearly event that brings together BTS and their fans, ARMY, to celebrate their debut anniversary.
This year's offline celebration is set for June 13–14 at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, South Korea.
The event will be open to the public and feature interactive activities, including a FESTA-themed game zone, DIY photo card stations, and a coloring wall inspired by BTS' album artwork.
Attendees can also enjoy hourly light shows, explore a voice zone featuring messages from the BTS members, and visit an archive exhibit showcasing album covers, trophies and the members' personalized lockers.
In conjunction with the in-person festivities, a lineup of online content — such as the annual 'BTS LIVE' and the family portrait — will be released. Exclusive merchandise will also be available.
It remains unclear whether any BTS members — Jin, RM, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — will appear or perform at this year's FESTA.
At the 2024 FESTA, Jin made his first public appearance after completing his mandatory military service, personally greeting 1,000 fans with hugs.
He also performed solo tracks 'The Astronaut' and 'Super Tuna,' along with BTS' 'Moon.'
While none of the other BTS members were able to attend last year's FESTA, each wrote heartfelt letters to ARMY that were shared during the event.
BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, began forming in 2010 after Big Hit Entertainment founder Bang Si-hyuk recruited RM followed by Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. However, the band officially debuted in 2013.
Since then, the artists have gone on to experience dynamite success, including two Grammy nominations, six no. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and an ARMY of fans.
In recent years, each of the seven members has also made a mark individually, with all scoring solo entries on the Hot 100.

Charli XCX, Husband George Daniel Share Wedding Photos
Yara Sameh Charli XCX has unveiled a slew of photos from her wedding with George Daniel of The 1975. The "Brat" star took to Instagram to share pictures from the July 19 ceremony, an intimate event attended by the couple's close friends and family at Hackney Town Hall in London. 'Did something,' Charli captioned the glimpse into the day she married George, adding the millennial-preferred version of a heart emoji to her post on Instagram: <3. Emoticon preference aside, the photos capture the newlyweds' in-love vibes amid their celebration of saying 'I do' last weekend. The first photo on the slideshow captures Charli's bridal look — made up of a Vivienne Westwood dress, a white bouquet and a pair of her signature sunglasses. The second photo has her husband winking at the camera with a cigarette at his lips. As one might expect, other photos document moments of romance, including the newlyweds kissing. The pair announced their engagement in July 2023, when Charli showed off her ring on social media and marked the milestone with the caption 'charli xcx and george daniel f—ing for life!!!'. Both artists recently played Glastonbury, with Daniel — drummer, producer and songwriter with The 1975, and a DJ — headlining the U.K. music festival with the band he's been with since his teen years. The 1975 had first billing on the fest's main Pyramid Stage on June 27, while Charli closing down the Other Stage the following night. Though he wasn't seen in pictures from the couple's London wedding ceremony, 1975 frontman Matty Healy hyped Charli's set during the Manchester group's career-spanning gig at Glasto, a performance that left him overcome with emotion. Mid-set, he gave his bandmate's then-fiancée a sweet shoutout in between songs: 'Give it up for Charli xcx. That's my best friend.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun Mourns Ziad El Rahbani
Rana Atef President of Lebanon, General Joseph Aoun, mourned the passing of iconic musician and playwright Ziad Rahbani, who died today at the age of 69 after an extraordinary artistic journey. In an official statement from the Lebanese Presidency, Aoun said, 'Ziad Rahbani was not just an artist—he was a complete intellectual and cultural , phenomenon. He was a living conscience, a rebellious voice against injustice, and a truthful mirror of the suffering and marginalized.' Aoun praised Rahbani's unflinching dedication to truth, saying: 'He wrote the pain of the people and played the strings of truth without compromise. Through his purposeful theater and his music—rich with innovation that blended classical, jazz, and Oriental influences—he offered a unique artistic vision and opened new windows of Lebanese cultural expression that reached global heights.' The president highlighted Rahbani's roots, saying: 'Ziad was a natural extension of the legendary Rahbani family, which gave Lebanon so much beauty and dignity. He was the son of the great Assi Rahbani and Fairuz, our ambassador to the stars. To her, we extend our deepest condolences today. Our hearts are with her in this immense loss, as we also offer our sympathies to the esteemed Rahbani family.' Aoun concluded his tribute by affirming Ziad's lasting legacy: 'Ziad's many exceptional works will remain alive in the memory of the Lebanese and the Arab world. They will inspire future generations and serve as a reminder that art can be a form of resistance, and that words can be a stance. May Ziad Rahbani rest in peace, and may his vibrant music and plays continue to shine as beacons of freedom and calls for human dignity.' Ziad Rahbani was among the most influential and innovative figures in modern Arab music and political theater. Born into an exceptional artistic household as the son of Fairuz and the late Assi Rahbani, he quickly forged a distinct path—blending deep musical sophistication with biting political satire and black humor. His voice, spirit, and artistic vision left an indelible mark on Lebanese and Arab culture. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
