Jungkook’s songs for BTS Festa over the years
As a symbol of gratitude he shares with BTS ARMYs around the world in return for their unwavering support for him, Jungkook’s upcoming song expands his collection of tunes released every year in view of the BTS Festa celebrations. In 2020, he released the record-breaking track ‘Still With You’, which still holds a special place in the hearts of his fans.
Continuing the tradition of expressing their love towards their supporters, they released another Fiesta song, ‘My You’ in 2022. While their sweet love letter to ARMYs came out, the group eventually announced their extended hiatus during the 2022 Fiesta. Two years later, while the group members are still away fulfilling their military obligations, the ‘Seven’ singer is releasing another hit-in-the-making.

Although six of the seven members are still yet to be discharged from their military duty, the eldest member Jin has confirmed his much-awaited comeback in the coming days. BIGHIT Music has also announced a special “Hugs Event” for June 13, where lucky fans will get a chance to meet him in person.
Despite the excitement over the ‘Astronaut’ hitmaker’s homecoming, this special fiesta schedule has been mired in confusion and backlash from fans. Many spoke out against the “money-hungry” tactics used to choose winners for the event. Some also criticized the group’s parent company, HYBE, for tarnishing Jin’s heartfelt idea of ​​reconnecting with fans by pressuring them for multiple album purchases. The most recent update on the issue revealed an updated schedule with more clarification about the “album raffle” criteria.
