Tita ARMY Tours South Korea at Festa 2025

 “We were together / Every moment was forever.” — Take Two, BTS

Our ARMY Tour, our 5 days and 4 nights in Seoul was life-affirming and rejuvenating.

What made it so was many things:

How some of us had been saving up since the Pearl ARMY Festa of 2024, turning this into our ARMY Glow Up project, a dream sustained by intention.

How bravely some of us made the decision to travel alone and join a group for the first time, choosing courage over comfort, and community over solitude.

How some of us brought family—daughter, sister, niece, to bond, uplift, and support each other’s fangirling. And in the process, we discovered how powerful our desires can become when channeled through creative ways.

How we held space for one another at the dining table from the communal and down-to-earth warmth of Yoojung Sikdang to the quiet elegance of Otsu, where stories flowed as freely as soup.

How we looked out for each other in crowded streets and alleyways of Myeongdong and Hongdae, when bodies were close but hearts stayed open.

The walks we took in forest and stadium, in silence and in laughter.

And the way we laughed. The way we wept. Seeing our OT7 together on that stadium screen, dancing to Mic Drop, then collapsing emotionally at Spring Day and Jamais Vu.

Team Labas. Team Loob. Team Hotel. Lahat tayo. We were all part of it. We were different but together.

We weren’t just in Seoul for a clique-ish girls’ night out. We came to experience and listen to the city. To bear witness to its character. To understand how it shaped BTS and how BTS shaped us, continuously so, in our own unique ways of expressing ourselves as ARMY.

Thank you Teena Ordoño of Savedbythebest Travel and Tours for making this happen!

Apobangpo! Purple and true!
