BTS members Jin and j-hope shared a concept crossover to mark the 2025 edition of BTS FESTA, held annually to honor the band’s debut anniversary. The update was posted on June 1st through Bangtan's official fan platform, Weverse.

In the newly released images, Jin portrayed the visual style from Hobi's solo album Jack In The Box, while the Chicken Noodle Soup singer took on the theme from Jin’s single The Astronaut.

The concept trade was presented as part of the group’s yearly FESTA rollout, which typically features exclusive material leading up to June 13, the date of BTS’ debut in 2013.

The tags hinted at the unexpected likeness between the two members in their switched looks. Currently, Jin and j-hope are the only members who have completed their mandatory military duties.

With other members still serving, the pair is expected to lead this year’s FESTA content and appear in more official releases until the full group reunites. This concept exchange is their first joint appearance following their discharge from the military.

It is part of a broader content rollout by BIGHIT MUSIC to maintain fan engagement during the group’s partial hiatus. Further FESTA content is expected in the days leading up to the group's 12th anniversary on June 13.


Meanwhile, BTS' Jin is gearing up for his first-ever solo tour, the #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR. It will span nine global cities, with two-night performances in each location. The tour kicks off on June 28–29 at the Goyang Auxiliary Stadium in South Korea, before heading to Japan.
