BTS celebrates a decade in the business this year. So, what’s the best way to mark this major milestone? Of course, by holding the 2023 BTS Festa.
But as the group is currently on a hiatus, and two of its members, Jin and J-Hope, are in the military, will the 2023 BTS Festa still happen? Here are the alleged plans for it.
2023 BTS Festa Teaser
The group’s official Twitter page has dropped a new teaser for the highly anticipated annual celebration of the phenomenal K-pop band’s debut, titled BTS Presents Everywhere.
At the same time, the song “Yet to Come” plays in the background.
It has been ten years since Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook brought fans some of the greatest K-pop hits, like “Dynamite,” “Butter,” and more.

Seoul will be clad in purple for the 2023 BTS Festa.
Local media outlets reported, via Korea Herald, that HYBE, the superband’s agency, is now preparing to hold big events in collaboration with the Seoul city government.
The capital’s landmark spots will be decorated as “Army Road,” so fans, called ARMY, can celebrate on-site.
Hybe even told the outlet that it’s still in talks with Seoul City about the event.

The citywide festival is expected to be similar to BTS’s The City project, which took place in Las Vegas in March 2022 and Busan in October of the same year.
BTS to Release Autobiography to Celebrate Decade-Long Career
Meanwhile, Hybe earlier announced that BTS would be releasing an autobiography detailing the band’s decade-long career in celebration of their 10th anniversary this year.
The book will be titled Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS, written by the music critic Kang Myeong Seon and will hit the shelves on July 9.
