BTS FESTA
BTS will also celebrate their anniversary at a special event next week. The 10th Anniversary FESTA is taking place in Yeouido, Seoul, on June 17.
The BTS FESTA is held annually, but this year's event will be extra special with several surprises planned in the coming days. It's unclear which members will be in attendance.
BTS announced that will be going on a hiatus in June 2022. The band planned to pursue solo careers as well as serve out their mandatory military service.
Jin started his military duties in December 2022. He is expected to serve at least 18 months, which is the minimum requirement for all able-bodied South Korean men aged 18 to 28.
J-Hope became the second BTS member to enlist in April 2023. They are all expected to complete their military service by 2025, which means it will be a while before their fans see them onstage as a septet.
'Take Two' is the second single released by the group in 2023. 'The Planet' was released in May.
