BTS RM (Namjoon) “YOUTH” Story

That's how we live (C'est la vie)

“I started my daily life after chasing my ideals and started reading again, which I had stopped for over 3 years with excuses. I re-discovered and expanded things about myself that I had never looked into. I still don’t know where these two years will take me in the future. But today, I read, exercise, and go to the studio. That is how I live.”
BTS RM.

BTS Jin “YOUTH” Story

Same stuff but a new mindset, I'm keeping it positive and giving it a smile. What are some positive changes that happened to you?#Jin #YouthToday #YourStories pic.twitter.com/FcfbMvkQ9s

“It’s a positive change to have ‘free time’ through the pandemic. The deadline was short, but there were many things to prepare, so all the schedules were frustrating. Even though I’m still busy now, I feel like I have more time. Even if we do the same thing with a different mindset, we can work with a smile. I want to live positively.”
BTS Jin.

“After the Corona outbreak, I’m used to the word, “non-face-to-face”. It isn’t easy to meet friends and acquaintances, and even family. Therefore, I use conversation apps to chat with people and play games, and it’s a lot more fun than I thought.
Now that I’m accustomed to this “non-face-to-face”, I hope that many people will be careful and make small hobbies that are not dangerous.”
BTS Jungkook.
