Meanwhile, “BTS Recipe Book” will contain Korean dishes inspired by different eras of the group’s career.

The cookbook will also feature cooking tips and video commentary connected to the members’ appearances on variety content such as “Bon Voyage” and “In the SOOP.”
The book announcement was made during BTS Festa 2026, the group’s annual celebration marking their debut anniversary.
This year’s Festa commemorates BTS’ 13th anniversary. Fan activities have included the release of the digital single “Come Over,” other online content and special events.
Member RM celebrated the group’s anniversary with heartfelt message on WeVerse as he thanked their fans called ARMYs for being with them all these years.
“I don’t particularly love the phrase ‘someone saves someone,’ nor do I believe in it wholeheartedly, but, undeservedly, having occasionally heard such words as I’ve lived, I come to look back and wonder if I, too, wasn’t saved by you,” he expressed.
“Making memories together, and consuming each year, one by one that makes me extremely happy, and I’m still so glad that I can shout out (these words) to someone,” continued the group’s leader. “Thank you once more for being with us on this precious anniversary.”
Meanwhile, BTS is set to return to the Philippines on March 13 and 14, 2027, for their “ARIRANG” world tour. /ra
