On June 4, 2025, BIGHIT MUSIC rolled out fresh concept images of BTS members Jin and j-hope as part of the lead-up to the 2025 BTS FESTA. The yearly celebration, held every June, marks the group’s 12th debut anniversary.
The newly shared “classic version” portraits show the two dressed in dark, semi-formal outfits. Both idols have completed their military duties and are currently active under HYBE. Soon after the latest images dropped, fans spotted a visual detail in one of the frames.
