What a moving tribute to both BTS and its mighty fandom, ARMY! So glad I got to see this in theatres because experiencing the music and storytelling on the big screen was magical. It weaves together the rise of BTS itself with the sweet, funny, and quirky voices of some of their most ardent fans, giving faces and stories to the occasionally somewhat scary concept of "fandom" itself. The concept might sound uninteresting to outsiders, but in this day and age, capturing the essence of that spark that catalyzed BTS' global impact is quite the accomplishment itself. I was moved by the glimpses of vulnerability both in BTS and ARMY, which showcased so well the ways in which so many people across the world are searching for meaning, belonging, connection, and understanding, as well as what makes this particular phenomenon so unique. Highly recommend even if you aren't a BTS fan because there is lots to love and learn from! I went with two non-ARMY friends who also loved the film as well.
