The identity of ARMY, the dynamic global fanbase of Korean music group BTS, is complex and nuanced. I Am ARMY locates, documents, and celebrates just some of the unique identities within the diverse fandom. A collection of autoethnographic essays, each chapter in this book contains an ARMY experience which transcends the personal entirely. As such they sit as part of a broader sociopolitical examination and critique of the world we live in today. I Am ARMY gives the reader a chance to immerse themselves in the world of an ARMY living an entirely different life, and the opportunity to understand just how socially constructed and influenced our livedexperiences truly are.Coeditor Eaglehawk frames the sociopolitical stories in I Am ARMY as accounts of practicing revolutionaries and introduces BTS as participatory revolutionaries. Drawing upon universal truths detailed throughout the book, Eaglehawk develops a set of components for what she calls the Love Yourself, Speak Yourself Revolution which is currently underway.Within this book, you will find the answers to questions such as "why are fandoms devalued?", "how can I learn to love myself?" and "how can I be a feminist and an ARMY?" Above all else, you will find a little piece of yourself written on the page for each of us are ARMY, each of us are human. I Am ARMY serves as a reminder that despite how disconnected we may feel from the world, how disheartened or downtrodden, we are not alone ARMY or not.
