World-renowned K-pop group BTS recently celebrated their 13th anniversary, making it an emotional occasion not only for the members but also for their fanbase, ARMY. The seven-member group, comprising RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, are currently on their Arirang world tour.
The anniversary celebrations coincided with the group’s concert in Busan, where an emotional RM was seen tearing up on stage. Addressing the crowd, he said, “June 13, our 13th birthday as a team… this day won’t return ever again.”
Busan holds special significance for BTS and their fans. It is the hometown of Jimin and Jungkook and was also the venue for the group’s memorable Yet To Come concert in 2022, held before the members began their mandatory military service.
