Directed by award-winning filmmakers Grace Lee and Patty Ahn, "Forever We Are Young" explores the passion, creativity, and activism that define BTS ARMY. From Seoul to Los Angeles, Lewisville to Mexico City, the film follows fans across continents who share one powerful connection: their love for BTS.
The project dives into the fan-led movements that helped launch BTS into superstardom and reflects on how ARMY has become a global symbol of unity, inclusion, and collective strength.
'There is no BTS without ARMY and no ARMY without BTS,' said co-directors Lee and Ahn in a joint statement. 'We're excited for audiences to go on an emotional journey and meet a fandom that made us laugh, cry, and think.'
"Forever We Are Young" made its world premiere at SXSW 2025 in Austin, Texas, to sold-out audiences and standing ovations, followed by screenings in cities like Copenhagen, Mexico City, and Los Angeles.
The film features stories from ReactorCon in Texas, dance cover groups in South Korea, and longtime fans who have organized and mobilized ARMY since BTS's 2013 debut.
Produced by Eurie Chung, Grace Lee, Nora Chute, and Patty Ahn, and executive produced by Oscar winner Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom), Caitrin Rogers, and James Shin, the film blends personal stories with global milestones to illustrate ARMY's profound cultural impact. Oscar Vazquez and Aldo Velasco serve as editors, with original music by Andrew Orkin and cinematography by Jerry Henry.
BTS, whose name stands for 'Bangtan Sonyeondan' (Beyond the Scene), debuted in 2013 and has since become one of the most successful acts in pop history.
With six Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits and millions of albums sold globally, the group's cultural influence extends well beyond music. ARMY, short for 'Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth,' now boasts over 90 million members worldwide.
Trafalgar Releasing has a long history of distributing BTS content, including record-breaking concert films and live event broadcasts. 'The global impact of BTS is undeniable,' said Kymberli Frueh, SVP of Content Acquisitions and Programming at Trafalgar Releasing. 'We are proud to bring this film to big screens across the globe to celebrate the impact of the fans themselves.'
Select theaters will feature limited-edition posters and themed concessions for the release.

Travis Kelce: Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" Is a Lot More Upbeat, a Lot More Fun Pop Excitement
Yara Sameh Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" has been the most-anticipated album of 2025, and based on details she shared Wednesday on a special episode of "New Heights" with Travis and Jason Kelce, her 12th album could be her most pop-leaning record in years. 'I've been fortunate enough to hear every single song on here, so I know they're all 12 bangers,' her partner, Travis Kelce, said of the album, which Swift revealed would be released on October 3. 'It's a lot more upbeat and it's a lot more like, fun pop excitement. I think it's a complete 180 from a lot of the songs on Tortured Poets for sure.' 'Life is more upbeat,' Swift added. 'I have different goals with different albums. Tortured Poets Department, my goals were strictly lyrical. It was really a full catharsis, and I love to embrace the mess of writing from that perspective, of the rawness of that. I was feeling a complete pivot at this point in time, and I want the album to feel the way my life felt. And this completely matches the way my life has felt.' Regarding the goals of "The Life of a Showgirl," Swift noted she was going for 'melodies that were so infectious that you're almost angry at it, and lyrics that are just as vivid, but crisp and focused and completely intentional.' 'It's the life behind it all, it's the life beyond the show,' she added. Further boosting that pop sound is that Swift tapped legendary hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback to make the record with her. The Swedish producers worked with Swift on some of her biggest songs like 'Blank Space,' '22,' 'Shake It Off' and 'I Knew You Were Trouble,' among others. Martin is regarded as perhaps the biggest pop songwriter of all time, with credits on chart-topping classics like Britney Spears' '…Baby One More Time,' NSYNC's 'It's Gonna Be Me' and Katy Perry's 'I Kissed a Girl,' among many others. Among his more recent smashes are The Weeknd's 'Blinding Lights,' Coldplay and BTS's 'My Universe' and Ariana Grande's 'Yes, And?' Before "The Life of a Showgirl," Swift, Shellback and Martin had last worked together on a new album back in 2017 for Reputation. 'Shellback and I were both in our early twenties when we started working together, the three of us. And so it was very much like we were the ingenues and Max was the mentor,' she said. 'And this was the time where it felt like all three of us in the room were carrying the same weight as creators. It was really special. It meant the world to me to have this creative experience where we knew we had to bring the best ideas we've ever had. I also know the pressure I'm putting on this record by saying that, but I don't care because I love it that much.' During the podcast, Swift also revealed the track list for the album, confirming a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter. Beyond the new music, Swift had a revealing two-hour conversation on New Heights, recounting the early days of dating Kelce and the emotional process of gaining ownership of her masters earlier this year. 'I was bawling my eyes out, I'm just like weeping like, 'Really? What do you mean? This changed my life, I can't believe it still,' Swift noted, remembering when she got the call from her mother confirming the deal. Regarding the early days with Kelce, the 14-time Grammy winner said, 'This felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie and he was just like, standing outside of my window with a boombox.' She noted, 'I was like, 'If this guy isn't crazy, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.'' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Reports: BTS Involved in Secret Michael Jackson Music Project Featuring Unreleased Track
Rana Atef On Sunday, a new report by the Irish Sun claimed that trending K-pop group BTS took part in a secret music project involving a previously unreleased Michael Jackson track recorded in 2006. The song was initially intended for a new album by the late King of Pop, but the project was halted before completion. It was recorded at Grouse Lodge Studio, a converted stable in the Irish countryside, where Jackson had several recording sessions during his stay, alongside notable names like producer Rodney Jerkins and singer Ne-Yo. Studio owner Paddy Dunning recently stated that the tracks were part of a tribute album concept. For the first time, he revealed that BTS was among the 'global stars' invited to re-record some of the songs. 'We began the sessions last year,' Dunning said. 'We hosted BTS here at Grouse Lodge, where they recorded one of the tracks.' The project reportedly included around ten tracks linked to Michael Jackson, either written or developed in collaboration with his Irish-based team at the time. He confirmed that preparations are ongoing, with support from members of Jackson's original creative team. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
