In celebration of their 12th anniversary, global pop sensation BTS has unveiled the ‘CAPSULE ALBUM Vol.1’, now available for pre-order globally. The album is part of the ongoing 2025 BTS FESTA, a beloved annual tradition where BTS commemorates their debut with fans around the world.
The pre-order for the capsule album began on June 16 at 11 AM KST via Weverse Shop, and will be available while supplies last. The album is set to release on June 27 in South Korea, with staggered shipping to Japan (July 7) and the U.S. and Europe (from August 1).
A Collector’s Dream
Unlike traditional albums, CAPSULE ALBUM Vol.1 comes in 14 different versions, each randomly representing a BTS member. Each version includes a mini jewel case, NFC-enabled CD, sticker, random photo card, and a Smart Music Guide to enhance the listening experience. Though fans cannot choose specific versions, many are already racing to secure multiple copies for a chance at all the members’ editions.
The album features a curated set of 14 tracks, highlighting both BTS group hits and popular solo releases, such as “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “Yet To Come,” and solo projects from RM, Jin, SUGA (Agust D), j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
Exclusive Perks and Event Merchandise
To sweeten the deal, Weverse is offering exclusive holographic group photo cards for each album purchase. Buyers who order from the global store will receive a special limited-edition photocard, while U.S. buyers get an additional group photocard.
Moreover, a physical on-site purchase zone—dubbed the Capsule Album Zone—is set up at KINTEX 2, Ilsan during the FESTA event (June 13–14), offering exclusive merchandise. Fans attending the event can collect random photocards, and those purchasing 7 albums will receive a full member set and a group postcard set.
