A documentary exploring the extraordinary stories of BTS’s fans, the “ARMY” who helped transform the South Korean group into a 21st-century global pop icon. From Seoul to Los Angeles, Texas to Mexico City, BTS ARMY can be found in every corner of the world. The film presents memorable moments from devoted supporters who have championed the group since 2013 and propelled BTS to international chart success. More than mere fandom, the documentary challenges the notion that BTS fans are just hysterical teenagers, portraying instead a cross-generational, culturally savvy global movement engaged with diverse social issues. ARMY is depicted as a symbol of hope, solidarity, strength, and unity.
