From Seoul to Los Angeles, Texas to Mexico City, BTS ARMY is everywhere. FOREVER WE ARE YOUNG dives into the passionate fandom that catapulted 21st-century pop icons BTS into a global household name. We meet fans at a BTS-focused ReactorCon in Lewisville, Texas, a dance instructor in Seoul who teaches BTS choreography, and fans who’ve been organizing since 2013 to help BTS dominate the charts. Defying stereotypes of pop fans as screaming teens, ARMY is an intergenerational, culturally savvy, and socially active movement that is as diverse as the world itself. The film captures the powerful spirit of activism and collectivity that make ARMY a symbol of hope and unity in our ever-fractured world.
FOREVER WE ARE YOUNG is made BY ARMY FOR ARMY. The film centers on the fans themselves and celebrates their creativity, resilience, and deep emotional connection to the group. Though rooted in fandom, the film explores universal themes of belonging, identity, and self-love.
“There is no BTS without ARMY and no ARMY without BTS. We’re excited for audiences to go on an emotional journey and meet a fandom that made us laugh, cry,and think. We were constantly moved by the fans’ power, resilience, creativity and humor and hope audiences will be too” stated by Grace Lee and Patty Ahn, co-directorsof FOREVER WE ARE YOUNG.
