FAQ
WHAT IS THE RATING OF THIS ZINE?

Volume 1 focused on the fandom's association with Yoongi and the stars, but for this volume, we didn't want to replicate the exact same theme. Volume 2 expanded on the star theme a little bit and will focus on nighttime in general, so think of late nights in the summertime, midnight snack runs, or quiet car rides underneath the dark sky.
