During the annual FESTA period, which commemorates BTS' debut, the group has been diligently organizing numerous events for their devoted fanbase, ARMY. Among these events was the recent BangBangCon streaming event held on June 3.

During this event, fans were granted the opportunity to relish either the 2019 BTS 5th MUSTER [Magic Shop] concert in Seoul or the BTS 2021 MUSTER SOWOOZOO. Furthermore, recently, fans were able to tune in and witness the BTS MAP OF THE SOUL ON:E concert.

Individual activities of group members

Currently, the group's activities have been put on hold as the members prepare for their mandatory military service in South Korea. As per the country's regulations, all able-bodied male citizens are required to serve in the military for a period of one or two years. Presently, Jin and j-hope are fulfilling their military duties, and they are keeping fans updated about their well-being through the South Korean social media platform Weverse.

Meanwhile, Jungkook and Kim Tae-hyung have reportedly been working on their respective solo music albums, while Suga is engaged in his first-ever solo tour, the Agust D Tour, which recently concluded concerts in Japan.

On the other hand, the group's leader, RM, released his solo album, Indigo, in December of the previous year. Furthermore, Jimin recently unveiled his debut solo album, FACE, and has been actively participating in promotional activities for Tiffany & Co. and Dior. Additionally, vocalist Kim Tae-hyung is scheduled to hold his first-ever solo fan meeting in collaboration with SimInvest in June, as he has been selected as the international ambassador for the platform.

The main event for the 2023 FESTA is set to take place at Yeouido Hangang Park on June 17, serving as a significant highlight of the celebration.

Her process of creating content is time-consuming, yet methodical; she prefers to use original sources of information, which in her case are Korean outlets. She watches entire episodes, writes them down, cross-checks/fact-checks the details/event timelines off the web and eventually creates her copy.

Kirti likes Lee Je-hoon, IU, and Kim Seon-ho since she feels that their dramas are inspiring and have good plotlines. When she is not writing about K-dramas, she can be found watching them.
