In the summer of 2021, I pitched a portrait idea to TIME magazine. I wanted to meet and photograph BTS fans, also known as ARMY, to highlight the people that keep BTS successful. This isn't to say BTS isn't successful because of their music and talent, but their dedicated fan base know how to mobilize and keep BTS going. From the safety and comfort of my home in Philadelphia, I photographed around 15 individuals from all over the world.
