Jin & J-Hope reunite in BTS FESTA 'News' Broadcast

The first offering of FESTA 2025 was no ordinary clip, it was a BTS-style twist on a news show titled '[2025 FESTA] BTS News'. With Jin as the charming anchor and J-Hope as the field reporter, the skit was packed with humour, self-parody, and the kind of chemistry that only BTS can pull off.

The two took fans through behind-the-scenes moments, complete with light banter and sentimental nods to their shared journey. More than just laughs, this reunion hinted at what's to come: a full-on BTS comeback with all seven members soon back together.

Every FESTA has a theme, and 2025's is titled ‘Twelve O’Clock’, inspired by BTS' emotional track 00:00 (Zero O’Clock). It represents a fresh start, the hope of new beginnings, and the continued journey shared between BTS and ARMY. Jin elaborated that the theme "represents the future we'll walk together with ARMY," setting a fresh and emotional tone for this year’s celebration.
