"For me as a filmmaker, a storyteller, I immediately thought of The Odyssey. BTS are Odysseus, and ARMY is Penelope, yearning for their heroes to return. That epic framing became the emotional backbone of the film."
"This film is about legacy in motion. They paused at the peak of their popularity, and now the anticipation, and the stakes, of their return are enormous. How do you evolve while still remaining the band people love?"
"In addition to being committed artists, they are truly affectionate with each other, playful, respectful, and accountable to one another and their fans."
