Get your bora party hats, Jin cult sunglasses, cat balloons and 7 rounds of champagne ready. And somebody wake Jungkook up after that WeLive too, because it’s time to celebrate the happiest day in the ARMY calendar!
We’ve been marking our Festa calendars off to say happy 10th birthday to the seven (7) we call family. To 7 who are inspiring, fearless and give us strength. To 7 who make us laugh from Bon Voyage to suspenseful games of choosing rooms to water parks to flying yoga. To 7 who told us where to find our Magic Shop. To 7 that have helped with building our r/bts7 family.
It’s been 10 amazing years. Share with us the impact Bangtan has had on you, funny ARMY memories, concert memories, lyrics, moments – anything you want!
Apobangpo, r/bts7! 💜

Happy Birthday to Bangtan, and the 7 men who I love beyond the word love 💜
Army forever, Bangtan forever!
Happy birthday, congrats on breaking reddit 💜
Happy 10th!!! Will be forever grateful to this group of 7 amazing people. APBP!💜
happy 10th anniversary to our precious 7, through whom i’ve found so much love, comfort, warmth, tears, and laughter, and a whole new group of friends from all around the world that i’d probably never get to meet otherwise 💜
apobangpo bts, apobangpo r/bts7 🫂
Happy 10th anniversary to our 7 angels! Thank you for your love, laughter, music and for being an inspiration.
APOBANGPO 💜💜💜💜
Sometimes, when I’m struggling or in a tough situation, I think to myself “what would Namjoon do?” “what would Seokjin do?” etc. I say this because it speaks to the overarching positive influence that they’ve had on my life, and on so many others just like me.
It’s not easy to do anything for ten years, let alone to do it extremely well while also growing up, learning to be a public figure, and maintaining your composure in an environment of increasing global scrutiny. I know this road has not been easy and I know they are not perfect human beings, but it is so commendable that they have chosen to do this and to take seriously their position as role models over and over again.
Everyone has heard the phrase “BTS finds you when you need them” and I’m so glad this fandom chose me. Who would have thought when I was stumbling down the rabbit hole almost three years ago that I would make close friends that I speak to daily, that have been part of major life events for me, and that I would have once in a lifetime experiences because I chose to open the door to the magic shop and see what was inside? (I also never thought back when I was trying to wrap my head around just learning their names that I would be able to recognize them from looking at a finger but that’s another story for another day.)
I hope on this milestone anniversary, the members can really feel how loved and important they are, can feel the magnitude of their presence and influence on the lives of so many, and can look back at the past ten years and think “I would choose this life all over again.” I hope chapter 2 brings them everything they were seeking as they closed out chapter 1, and I can’t wait until we can all be together again.
Happy birthday to our 7 guys! Hope they all remain happy and healthy in all the years to come!
happy birthday to my seven💜
literally i can’t believe it’s been 10 years already, it feels like yesterday i was a senior in high school being introduced to seven dorks singing about hormones and slapping each other on the ass and now i’m 26😵💫
the future is scary to think about, but knowing that bts and my fellow army are by my side is so incredibly reassuring. i’m honored to grow old with them and all of you guys too💜
here’s to many more years to come!
Happy birthday to our seven 💜
Happy 10 years of Bangtan to all of us 💜🥹
Best decision I’ve made in my life is to support these boys(now men) and make them my idols. I never expected I’d get an extended family(ARMY) and form so many friendships because of them.
Dear Bangtan,
“You showed me I have reasons I should love myself”. I’ll forever be grateful to you for that. ARMY FOREVER, BANGTAN FOREVER! 💜🥳
Happy Festa!! Happy 10 years of greatness with our Bangtan boys and Army family 💜💜 I’m in this forever. APOBANGPO!! 💜💟💜💟💜💟
I seriously adore…love…purple…these 7 normal guys from Korea who have had such an unexpected impact on my life since debut. They truly are one of a kind. Happy birthday Bangtan. May we have many more years of memories together 💜 🤝 아포방포
I’m out of words. Those 2 letters destroyed me this morning 😭 going to listen to Take Two
🥳 Happy Birthday you delightful scamps!! May you always have each other and may we always have you. I know I’ll be rattling my 90yr old bones to Baepsae one day and so will you all. APOBANGPO *don’t cry don’t cry* 💜💜💜
Happy 10th anniversary Bangtan! Thank you for putting a smile on my face again💜
These men saved my life and push me to do better everyday.
BTS gave me the willpower to continue living as well as introduced me to ARMY, the community that makes me feel welcome to just be myself.
Just a few hours ago I was feeling extremely anxious. Stuck between desperately wanting to take a break from work and struggling to finish the massive workload.
Amidst these thoughts I could hear Jin’s voice telling us how sometimes it is okay to not be productive and that it is okay to do nothing. I felt better immediately.
Small instances such as these keep me going. They are like my personal cheerleaders and motivators.
I hope to be here for the next how many ever years they chose to be with us and return the love they give to us.
Edit: Typo
Apobangpo BTS, ARMY! 💜💜 You got me… I got you! Here’s to another 10 🥳
Happy 10th anniversary to the tannies!!💜💜💜
Thank you for all the joy you guys bring to my life with both yourselves and your music
Its been more than 6 years since I first discover their music in early 2016 and been an army for 5 years going once I got my life together and more personal time for myself to enjoy them far more and I still feel the same joy as I felt when I got to know them and their music more
Hope we can continue this for years to come!!💜💜
Happy 10th birthday to BTS! I love our 7 guys, and I love our little army community over r/bts7 they brought to me 🥰 Cheers to another 10, and another 10 🥂 Apobangpo 💜
Here’s to 10 more. I couldn’t imagine life without these beautiful men and ARMY in my life. Happy 10th Year anniversary to all of us 💜 I cannot wait until we’re all back together again. All 7 plus all of us. 💜
Ahh, this is so nice. I can’t believe this is my third festa. 2021 and 2022 went by so fast. I’m so glad this sub is here to celebrate it!
This is my 8th festa. Time flies so fast
I used to spend hours and hours a day on this subreddit under a different username. I took a few months break from Army fan spaces but felt like I needed to come back here on Festa to say: BTS, I love you. I don’t keep up as diligently as I once did (and things do feel different this Chapter 2 period… missing my 2seok very much) but whenever I listen to a song or watch an old performance, I am struck with the overwhelming feeling of home.
(And thank you to this subreddit, which was another kind of home for a long while 💜)
I haven’t even had lunch yet and already cried twice. We may not know each other, and yet I genuinely have SO much love for each and every one of you. There’s no better group of people to celebrate our boys’ anniversary with than this community.
My heart is so full today!
[Happy Festa Army! and Happy Anniversary Bangtan!](https://twitter.com/archivesofkook/status/1668280865695186944?s=20)
*We’re together so I’m not scared of hoping for eternity*
I wasn’t here from the beginning, but I’ll be here till the end. apobangpo 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
[Look at these babies, they’ve come so far](https://twitter.com/cypherluscious/status/1668311489478787076?t=BJy5XNqkPGuBow_r_cZWkQ&s=19)
Bangtan didn’t save my life, they only saved me from boredom – but you know what, that’s still important! Thanks to them I’ve been inspired to travel, to meet new friends, to start learning a new language, to lean into my hobbies more, to express myself more. These seven muses have been such a positive influence in my life these past two years. I appreciate them so much. And I’m looking forward to a long, happy future with them. 💙🩷🩶❤️💛💚💜
2020 was hard, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I don’t where I’d be without BTS. They’ve helped me so much, they make me laugh, cry, and be happy when I’m with them. Making it 10 yrs is really hard. But I’m glad that we’re strong ans together. 💜💜💜
Yayyy happy 10th anniversary!! I don’t even know how to describe how grateful I am, or how much fun it’s been, or how many wonderful memories I’ve made since discovering their music and becoming a fan. They’ve been such a positive addition to my life – my siblings and I have gotten even closer, I’ve reconnected with a few old friends from high school, and my current friendships feel stronger than ever – all due to our shared love and bonding over Bangtan! Hot damn it’s been so much fun.
Congrats on a huge milestone, boys! I’ll be rooting for you ’til I’m in my rocking chair (and probably beyond that too lol)
EDIT: I’m gonna order k-food for lunch and stuff my face with bibimbap and fried oysters while I listen to their catalogue today hahaha
Happy 10 years to our bts! I don’t have the words to really convey what I feel, but thank you. Thank you bts for everything you’ve given me, for everything you’ve given to so many around the world.
No matter what happens in the next 10, 20, 30 years and beyond, they will always hold a special place in my heart. 아포방포 💜
I am having an extremely emotional day today and this all is putting me over the edge, but also in a great way. These amazing guys and this amazing group have given me so much happiness and joy. To them and all of you, let’s have many many more. 💜🥹So show me, I’ll show you! 💜🥹
Happy, Happy Festa to BTS and ARMY 💜🐋💜 borahae 💜🐋💜 now and always. My 7 “grandsons”, I couldn’t be more proud of the men you’ve become, how you’ve touched my life. The most beautiful moment is yet to come! I only hope I’m still around to see and hear it.
Heart full of gratitude and love for these men and this community.
The best is yet to come.
Happy 10th
This will be a shocker since I usually cannot shut up😑🙃 but today I just cannot seem to form substantive sentences.
I just love them. So grateful I found them. So grateful I found all of you. 🥹💜
The commemorative Weverse magazine issue is incredible. I can imagine Yoongi saying this is how PCs user interface looked like back in his day. It’s so, so nostalgic (minesweeper!) and so, so fitting for those of us in the same decade of life as the hyung line. 💜🐋
I keep coming across BTS clips on Instagram (if you have one of those accounts, please put the name and number of the series/episode in the captions for new Army!). It reminded me of that thread somewhere on one of these two subs shortly after _that_ Festa when everyone shared links to their fave videos/content for new Army. I wish I saved it.
I’m so grateful to everyone who answers on those IG posts whenever someone asks “which ep?” or “where’s this from?” in the comments. Because of them, I discovered more Bangtan content. Yesterday, while ill and right before JK’s sleepytime live, I watched a bunch of things I didn’t even know existed until then: [Armypedia](https://youtu.be/fE-WzsqeFFE), [You Quiz on the Block](https://youtu.be/Zooz3D6412M) etc and revisited videos like their vlogs which I intended to finish/watch but forgot about.
Their story & success, as well as the way Army manage to build a bridge to the other side of the world through English translations so early on is both unfathomable and yet something that can be comprehend at the same time.
It’s their & army’s hard work but the circumstances of their births are also luck: that they were born to who they were born to, in the country they were born to, at the time they were born, and of the 20+ other trainees, they were the 7 who made it in the end and then to have a fandom that worked so hard to translate everything they did and hype them across the globe as they did unlike with other fandoms… it’s the kind of life and future you and I could only have dared to dream of without thinking it possible.
Which made it all the more heartbreaking when I watched their AMA bangtan bomb and heard that they only had 1.5 days off a month during a period in 2017/2018. That though the recognised their agency’s argument about requiring such an intense schedule to break through, it’s also the fact they were running that nearly led them to say “We worked hard. It’s enough, we’ve done enough”. That period must be bittersweet. Therefore, it’s good they’re able to celebrate when they’re all in relatively happier places in their lives so that they might forget some of the bitter and taste more of the sweet.
(While watching You Quiz, I wondered whether they stay in touch with the former trainees and what those trainees must be doing given they had comparable talent/skills at the time. It reinforced how cutthroat the trainee system is.)
I know I haven’t been super active on here lately but I do always visit and read what everyone’s up to. Hopefully when things are less hectic I can come back and fangirl over the guys like I used to. 🤗
Just dropped by to say Happy 10 Years to our fave boys, and Happy Festa to ARMY! I celebrated by getting [this tattoo](https://i.ibb.co/gr9sSbG/received-1649110342182877.jpg) done just over a week ago and I am absolutely in lovvve with it. I can’t even begin to put into words how much Bangtan has helped me when I was at a low point in my life. It really is true that BTS finds you exactly when you need them. I sadly wasn’t there since the beginning, but I’ll be with them forever. Now that I have this little tattoo on my wrist, they’ll be with me forever, too.
💜💜💜
The pandemic was really difficult for me, and these kids saved me and words are not enough to say how thankful I am today. They are my comfort and they bring me so much happiness. I’m just so, SO PROUD of them. I’m happy I met them.
It’s been an honor to share all the love i have for these amazing human beings with everyone of you r/bts7.
2025 is not that far away!
Happy 10 years. I hope we get 10 more.
As June 13, 2023 comes to a close in South Korea, I want to say it has been a wonderful 10th anniversary day celebration with all of you! I have learned more about the members and the wonderful moments shared in Boraland through all that you have shared. I have been intermittently leaking tears the whole time, lol. Looking forward to more days of FESTA 2023 with you. Apobango! Borahae! 💜
Sorry I’m late to the party, but I just got back home on the 12th and was working on the 13th to catch up with work.
After watching Yoongi live, and realizing that at least 1/7th of BTS is real, it’s very surreal to wish them a happy 10th anniversary. They have gone from underdogs to a global sensation and now they’re confident enough to explore their own paths independently. It really requires teamwork and a lot of courage and to stick it out for 10 years since debut in front of millions of people who are both rooting for you and hoping for your downfall. And now to take the bold step to see what you can do on your own when you can stick to your safety net of your fame and fortune.
But then you look at their new content and notice how the other members are always by their side. Always. And that’s why they’re so confident about venturing out on their own. Their safety net is the love they have for each other. That’s enough for them and that’s how they’re here for their 10th anniversary instead of letting 2018 hit them.
I’m so glad they’ve reached the levels they are at now. They deserve this and more. They’re so hardworking, compassionate and inspiring. They are a part of music history and I’m so glad this happened for them. I hope they stay together forever.
Hi thank you for the links! Please leave this for a bit. I wasn’t on target on the 13th at all. I didn’t know to look for all this. Thank you for collecting it all. I figured we were mid Festa. Just another Festa day. I didn’t know it was going to be a bigger day. I feel dumb. I never know how special occasions are going to happen.
