Set for June 13–14, 2025, at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, South Korea, this year's FESTA is far more than a routine anniversary celebration—it is a carefully orchestrated milestone that coincides with the near-completion of the group’s military service and a symbolic step into a new chapter.
