BTS Kicks Off 2026 Festa With Adorable ‘Family Photo’ Celebrating Group’s 13th Anniversary
BTS Marks 13th Anniversary with Heartwarming ‘Family Photo’
BTS has officially launched their 2026 Festa celebrations, marking the group’s 13th anniversary with a nostalgic and adorable “family photo” shared across social media. The image, released on June 1, features all seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—gathered together, smiling warmly in coordinated casual outfits. The post was captioned simply with “Say cheese!” and quickly went viral, amassing millions of likes within hours.
The Festa is an annual event series held every June to commemorate BTS’s debut on June 13, 2013. This year’s festivities are especially meaningful as they come after the members’ recent completion of mandatory military service, reuniting the group for their first full anniversary celebration together since 2022. Highlights of the 2026 Festa schedule include:
- A special live broadcast titled “Home Party” on June 13
- Behind-the-scenes footage from their latest album recording sessions
- Exclusive commemorative merchandise and digital content drops
- A fan-interactive “Memory Booth” event on their official app
In the family photo, Jin—who was the first member to enlist—is seen playfully making bunny ears behind V, while Suga gives a peace sign. Fans have praised the group’s enduring bond, with many calling the image “a beautiful symbol of their journey together.” The Festa will run through June 13, with daily surprises expected to celebrate the milestone.
