Purple Pages — Korea for FESTA 2027
A small-group trip to South Korea for BTS fans, hosted by a fellow ARMY.
Thursday, June 10 – Friday, June 18, 2027 · 9 days / 8 nights
Seoul 5 nights + Busan 3 nights — in Seoul on June 13 for BTS’s anniversary
From $2,450 per person (land-only planning estimate — final price confirmed in writing before any deposit)
What this trip is
Purple Pages is a hosted journey built by an ARMY, for ARMY: the places from the music videos and K-dramas, the cafés, the neighborhoods — plus the palaces, markets and seaside temples that make Korea unforgettable on its own. We travel as a small group with a host who gets it, and there's a light K-drama thread woven through for those of us who came for the shows and stayed for the music.
Highlights include Seoul's palaces and Hongdae, a day shaped around BTS touchstones (HYBE headquarters from the outside, fan-favorite spots), Busan's Gamcheon Culture Village and Haedong Yonggungsa temple by the sea — and June 13, the anniversary, spent in Seoul together.
Good to know
Land-only: flights to Korea are not included, but Kathy will help you find and book them.
A $500 per-person deposit is collected only after hotels and tours are confirmed and your final price is in writing — always through Fora Travel, never to Kathy personally.
The trip hosts with a minimum group of about 10 travelers. Travelers under 18 are welcome with a parent or guardian.
No specific FESTA events are promised — the anniversary date is; the celebration is being there together.
Your host
Kathy is a Phoenix-based travel advisor (Travels by Kathy, a Fora Travel affiliate) — and a baby ARMY who discovered BTS in February 2026 and fell hard. Purple Pages is the trip she wanted to take, built to share.
