"Bang Bang Con" is part of the band's 2024 FESTA celebration, an annual event for BTS's global fandom, ARMY, coinciding with the anniversary of their debut. This year's FESTA will be held at Jamsil Sports Complex in southern Seoul on June 13, marking BTS's 11th anniversary.
Jin, the eldest member of BTS, will participate in the event following his discharge from mandatory military service on June 12. This appearance will signal the beginning of BTS's gradual return, with J-Hope expected to follow in October. The remaining members—RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook, and Suga—are set to complete their military service by June next year, setting the stage for a full-group comeback in 2025.
