2025 BTS Festa theme
Framed like a mock news program, the segment [2025 FESTA] BTS News introduced this year’s concept through scripted skits and themed visuals. This year’s FESTA is called Twelve O’Clock, referencing their song 00:00 (Zero O’Clock).
The idea focuses on fresh starts and BTS’ continued bond with their fanbase. In the YouTube video, BTS' Jin and j-hope spoke briefly about enjoying the shoot and hinted at more to come, adding, "That's enough spoilers,” without revealing what’s next.
One part of the video featured a comic phone conversation with a pretend 12-year-old ARMY fan, also played by j-hope. The character shared enthusiasm, referring to j-hope’s HOPE ON THE STAGE concerts scheduled for June 13 and 14, 2025:
“My poor finger [trying to get tickets] It hurts so much. It was hard, but I got the tickets."
The call wrapped with, “I love you BTS! I love you j-hope!” The Chicken Noodle Soup singer also appeared as a faux weather reporter, sharing a FESTA-themed forecast. j-hope humorously predicted fan excitement reaching “over 30°C” through June.
He further mentioned that June 13 and 14 would seem “6.13°C hotter than usual,” a nod to the band’s launch date.
