This year marks the 5th anniversary since BTS’s debut. From 'No More Dream', their debut song in 2013, and 'I Need You', which promoted BTS’s name to many people around the world with its 100 million views, to 'Fake Love', which was honored as the top-ranked song on Billboard’s charts, BTS has achieved great things after shedding their blood, sweat, and tears. Let’s be a proud ARMY(the name of BTS’s fan club) and follow in the footsteps of BTS in every corner of Seoul.

If You Are an ARMY Go for a Rosie Latte and Creamy Latte
Cafe &Gather
In Cafe &Gather, BTS made coffee on their own at the Run BTS Barista episode on V LIVE. During the missions, they made various types of drinks, but now there are only Jin’s sweet and aromatic Rosie Latte and Jimin’s soft creamy latte. The most famous part of the cafe, located in Hannam-dong, is the neon sign that you see as you walk in. BTS members took a photo underneath it, which is how it became famous. The cool pink neon sign is perfect for SNS uploads as well. There are people waiting in line to take a photo with the neon sign but I recommend waiting to have a photo. It’s worth it.

Where BTS Held its 5 Year Debut Anniversary Party

The party where the video was filmed was held in Geujib in Yangjae-dong and numerous ARMYs have been here already. A cozy interior decorated with care makes visitors feel comfortable.
