Being young is hard. Life throws a lot at you at once! Between school, work, sexuality, and identity, it can feel like we have to decide on so many things, life-changing things, with which we have live on for the rest of our lives! Those who go against the path society has laid out for us are the outliners, and the artists; the dreamers and the queers. Talking about outliners! RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook are the seven that make up the global phenomenon BTS, who became the first K-Pop group to be nominated for a Grammy!
