There are 529 days between January 1, 2024 (our project launch) and June 13, 2025 (BTS’ debut anniversary, aka Festa). By BTS Festa 2025, we expect most (maybe all?) of the BTS members to have completed their compulsory service, and we look forward to celebrating as a fandom.

Anyone who loves BTS’ music, video content, performances, etc. Whether you’re Baby ARMY starting your journey or veteran ARMY wanting to revisit important moments in BTS history, ARMY Project 529 is for you.

Not at all. Although we appreciate the support, we know not everyone is super plugged into social media. Pick what works for you.
If you’re uncomfortable appearing on camera, you can also participate in Bangtan Bubbles through blog comments, social media comments, or Discord.

Discord is a web/desktop/mobile chat app. We have an ARMY Project 529 server where we discuss all sorts of BTS- and non-BTS-related topics. It’s a great way to find and connect with ARMY friends throughout your day, as time allows.
