\n\tBTS<\/a> is 13! And to celebrate, the boy band kicked off Festa \u2014 its annual lineup of activities commemorating its anniversary \u2014 by sharing new family photos.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Instagram<\/a> snaps \u2014 which dropped on Thursday morning (June 4) in Korea \u2014 show RM, Jung Kook, Jimin, Jin, SUGA, j-hope and V dressed in business casual while hanging out together in the sunshine on a lawn. Others feature the septet goofing off on a couch inside and staring down the camera while assembled on a staircase.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Bangtan Boys also shared a video capturing how the photos came together. Between camera clicks, the members can\u2019t help but crack up at each other\u2019s comments. <\/p>\n

\n\tBTS had previously teased that the photos would mark the start of this year\u2019s Festa, the schedule of which<\/a> went live on May 31. Next on the activity list is a performance video for ARIRANG single \u201cHooligan\u201d coming Friday (June 5), followed by other special releases.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso part of the 13th-anniversary celebrations is BTS\u2019 upcoming concert in Busan, South Korea, on June 12 and 13. The latter will be available<\/a> for fans to watch live in theaters worldwide. <\/p>\n

\n\tFesta 2026 is a particularly special one, given that it\u2019s the first anniversary celebration since BTS launched its comeback earlier this year by dropping the Billboard 200<\/a>-topping album ARIRANG and embarking on a global tour. In recent years, the members have been performing mandatory military service in South Korea during their anniversary month, although Jin found a way to make 2024 special anyway by hugging 1,000 fans<\/a> at an in-person Festa event.<\/p>\n
