BTS FESTA 2026 Kicks Off with RM's Heartfelt Normal Log
BTS FESTA 2026 Begins with Exciting Releases
The much-anticipated BTS FESTA 2026 has commenced, featuring the release of a Family Photo and a captivating performance titled Hooligan. On June 7, BigHit fulfilled their promise by unveiling RM's Normal Log, showcasing the BTS leader, Kim Namjoon, in a serene environment indulging in one of his cherished hobbies—reading. Fans, known as ARMYs, quickly recognized that RM was engrossed in 'The American Century: Art & Culture, 1950–2000' by Lisa Phillips, a book that delves into the progression of modern art and culture. The subtle yet profound content has ignited conversations among fans, who admire RM's talent for intertwining creativity, curiosity, and everyday experiences into compelling narratives. However, it was the video's duration that truly moved the ARMYs.
The Significance of RM's Normal Log

While fans appreciated RM's exploration of reading in his Normal Log, one particular detail captured their attention: the video's length of 6 minutes and 13 seconds. ARMYs quickly connected this duration to BTS's debut date of June 13 (06/13), interpreting it as a heartfelt tribute to the group's anniversary. This thoughtful detail received praise on social media, with fans describing it as a touching homage that embodies the essence of BTS FESTA 2026.
In the video, RM shares that he enjoys reading right after waking up. He humorously states, "It sounds funny to say I'm gonna read a book now, but I'll read for a bit." He then settles into a chair, dons his glasses, and begins to read while sipping coffee. One fan remarked on the significance of the 6 minutes and 13 seconds, noting how it resonates with BTS's identity, while others expressed excitement about each member's log showcasing their unique 'normal' activities, highlighting RM's love for reading.
With RM's log debuting at 11 AM (KST), fans eagerly await the release of logs from other members, each expected to feature them engaging in their signature 'normal' activities, similar to RM's reading.
