    The BTS ARMY Love Yourself, Speak Yourself Revolution

    BTS and ARMY are revolutionary. In this episode I unpack what I am calling ‘the love yourself, speak yourself revolution’ that is taking place amongst BTS and ARMY. I introduce my concept of what makes a modern-day revolutionary, as well as ‘practising revolutionaries’, and how each and every one of us are just that… practising revolutionaries. Finally, I outline the components of the love yourself, speak yourself revolution as per my final chapter in I Am ARMY: It’s time to begin. Head to revoltbooks.com to pick up your copy of the I Am ARMY series. You can find me on Instagram @thebtstheorist. This is a public episode.
