BTS to launch a big festival in Seoul to commemorate their 10-year anniversary

BTS members are all set to launch a big festival in Seoul to celebrate their 10-year anniversary. The main ceremony will take place on June 17, four days after the actual day of their anniversary, June 13th, and portions of the capital city will be lit purple between June 12 and 25. There are rumors that purple lighting will be used in a number of locations, including the World Cup Bridge, the Dongdaemun Design Plaza, the Han River, and the N Seoul Tower in Mount Nam Park.

Yeouido Hangang Park will host the major event, which will be a festival open to anyone. In the official press statement, BIG HIT MUSIC stated that this year’s theme holds a dual meaning - “BTS’ Presents are Everywhere” and “BTS are Present Everywhere”. ARMYs are excited to witness Bangtan's grandiose and well-deserved 10-year anniversary celebrations.

More details regarding the two-week-long celebrations will be announced at a later date. However, it is the first time in their 10-year-long history that they are hosting grand celebrations to commemorate their Festa. Bangtan members have previously celebrated it amongst themselves by hosting a live broadcast, preparing a delicious meal, and sharing anecdotes about their lives, career, and future goals in a fun, freewheeling chat with fans.

Last year, during their annual Festa celebrations, the talented septet tearfully announced their decision to take a break from group activities to pursue their solo endeavors and fulfill their duty towards their country. The Butter singers reiterated that they are not breaking up or going on a hiatus and are merely taking a break after working tirelessly for nine years and will reunite to promote as a group very soon.

The talented seven-member group consists of members - RM (Kim Namjoon, leader), Jin (Kim Seokjin, oldest member), SUGA (Min Yoongi, rapper and producer), J-Hope (Jung Hoseok, rapper and main dancer), Jimin (Park Jimin, dancer and vocalist), V (Kim Taehyung, visual and vocalist) and finally, Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook, center and the youngest member). They debuted with the single 2 Cool 4 Skool in 2013.

Since then they have risen to global popularity by garnering several domestic and international accolades including topping Billboard Hot 100 charts six times and five Grammy nominations in their kitty.
