Forever We Are Young, a new BTS documentary directed by Grace Lee and Patty Ahn, shifts the spotlight from the band to their global fandom, ARMY. Premiering at SXSW and set for theatrical release on July 30, the film explores ARMY’s creativity, activism, and emotional connection to BTS. However, controversy has emerged over the directors’ past support of boycotts against BTS, prompting some fans to call for a boycott of the film itself. While the documentary aims to celebrate fandom, critics argue it exploits ARMY’s identity without proper representation or consent, raising questions about authenticity and intent.
