As BTS gears up to celebrate their 12th anniversary, fans were treated to a special gift that instantly lit up social media. On June 5, at midnight KST, Jin and J-Hope dropped a stunning new set of photos for BTS FESTA 2025, leaving fans absolutely breathless. The duo recreated a beloved photo concept from FESTA 2022, and this time, it feels even more meaningful.
The photos follow a “Sun and Moon” theme—perfectly reflecting the two members’ long-standing nicknames: Sunshine J-Hope and Moon Jin. Jin, with his calm, cool vibe, was paired with soft blue tones, while J-Hope exuded warmth in rich orange hues. Dressed in simple all-black outfits, the focus was entirely on their expressive visuals, radiating elegance and charm. No flashy styling was needed—just the two of them, glowing naturally in their celestial roles.
Fans were quick to pick up on the callbacks to their 2022 photos. Many praised how the duo mirrored their old poses, making the shoot feel like a sweet, nostalgic full-circle moment. The phrase “when sun meets moon” trended online, as ARMYs worldwide showered them with love and appreciation for their unmatched bond and magnetic presence.
These stunning images come as part of the larger FESTA 2025 celebration—one that holds deep meaning for BTS and their fans. Not only does it mark their 12th year since debut, but it’s also the first time all seven members will soon be reunited after completing their military service.
To kick things off, Jin and J-Hope took charge with a lighthearted revival of “BTS News”, where they played multiple roles—from reporters to weather forecasters—updating ARMY on what’s in store. Their playful energy added a personal touch to the festivities, showing just how excited they are for the group’s reunion.
The anticipation is building, especially with leader RM and V set to finish their service on June 10, followed by Jimin and Jungkook on June 11. SUGA, currently serving in an alternative civilian role, is expected to return by June 21, completing the full-circle moment for BTS and ARMY alike.
