K-enter_BTS celebrate 12 year anniversary with "2025 BTS FESTA"

Time for some K-entertainment news with Bella Kim.

So, this week, we can basically call it "BTS week" with four of the members discharged from their military service, and today, they are celebrating something big.

BTS celebrate their 12th anniversary of debut today, which is June 13th. Congratulations to the members and the fans!

To commemorate their anniversary, the "2025 BTS FESTA" is being held at KINTEX Exhibition Center in Goyang on Friday and Saturday local time.

Fans can immerse themselves in interactive zones such as the 'VOICE ZONE' featuring members' voice messages, and the 'TROPHY ZONE' showcasing some of BTS's most iconic awards. In addition, a 'Signature Light Show' synchronized with the ARMY Bomb light stick will take place every hour on the hour starting at noon.

The "2025 BTS Festa" is free to attend and will run from 10am to 7pm on both days. The festival will go on until tomorrow, so if you're an ARMY in the area, make sure to check it out!

Great to have almost all members out of the military to celebrate together with the ARMY. We will continue with another story on BTS one of the members is releasing a single today?

J-Hope released his digital single "Killin' It Girl" just before our show today. This release marks the end of his solo single project after "Sweet Dreams" and "MONA LISA," both released in March.

"Killin' It Girl" is a hip-hop genre song that captures the thrill of falling in love at first sight. J-hope participated in making this single, just like he did with his last single "MONA LISA." Adding to the excitement is the collaboration with American rapper GloRilla, as she features in the new single.

J-Hope will perform "Killin' It Girl" for the very first time at the final performances of his solo world tour, "J-Hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' FINAL" at Goyang Stadium tonight and tomorrow.

Wow, BTS Festa and j-hope's concert. Goyang will be colored purple as it will be filled with ARMYs this weekend.

For our last story today, we will end off with an upcoming series.

The crime thriller "Hunter with a Scalpel" held a press conference on Thursday in Ramada Sindorim Hotel in Seoul. Actors Park Joo-hyun, Park Yong-woo, Kang Hoon, and director Lee Jeong-hoon attended the conference.

Based on the novel of the same name, the new series follows the story of a forensic scientist, Se-hyun, discovering the familiar murder methods of her father, a serial killer known as "the tailor," who she thought died 20 years ago. She embarks on a race against time to catch her father before the police do.

The main actress Park Joo-hyun said at the press conference that as soon as she read the script, she thought it's a genre that she has never encountered in Korea.

Each episode of "Hunter with a Scalpel" will be a 30-minute midform with a total of 16 episodes. It is set to be released on U+tv, U+mobile tv, and Disney+ starting on June 16th.

Always excited to see new Korean series come out. Thank you Bella for today's stories.
