BTS Festa 2024?! That's right. We've got it covered here at Dojeon Media! Read on to find out which events and highlights will be included!
I am excited to write this article, as the 2024 edition of the BTS Festa has already teased a handful of events for BTS ARMY fans. With some of their members almost finished completing their mandatory military service (Jin will be discharged this month!), this year's event will see the boys back on the stage with some of them now working on solo music such as member Jungkook!

BTS debuted on June 12, 2012, with the single album "2 Cool 4 Skool", including the title track “No More Dream.” Since then, BTS has earned numerous historical achievements, including becoming the first K-pop act to top the Billboard 100, the first Asian act to snag a Grammy nomination, and more! Since then the boy band has become famous worldwide, bringing K-pop and Korean culture to all corners of the globe!
For this year's festa, Jin is set to make an appearance with several supporting acts, showcasing their careers, sketches, and sets to showcase the 11th anniversary of the mega band. That said, there has been some backlash from the ARMY fans, as merchandise for the event has come with a hefty price tag. Around 90 USD for a hoodie! That sounds insane!

In addition to JK’s new song, fans can attend the "Free Hugs" event with BTS's Jin! The exclusive event will be held on June 13 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, Seoul Sports Complex, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea. Lucky fans who win tickets to the free hug event will get a chance to interact directly with Jin after his military discharge. I understand why this may be meaningful to some fans, however for me personally, it seems a little cringy. However, I hope that this free hug stunt propels his success as a solo artist in the industry, as even though he has had success with a boy band, it does not necessarily mean that his success will continue as a solo artist.
