status: zine completed, thank you so much for everything!!! 💫
about the zine
Querencia is a fanzine dedicated to the fictional ship comprised of BTS members Kim Taehyung and Min Yoongi. we aim to create a zine that brings about feelings of comfort and is full of diverse emotions and experiences deriving from Taehyung and Yoongi’s special dynamic.
what's the meaning behind the word 'querencia' ?
By definition, Querencia is a metaphysical concept that derives from the Spanish language. The term comes from the verb "querer," which means "to desire."It it also defined as a "homing instinct" or "a favorite place." Taehyung and Yoongi's relationship reflects this: daegu and bangtan are both home to the two of them, and thus they are home to each other in their own special way.
our concept
The concept of this zine focuses on growth and finding a place where you belong, where you are yourself and where the one you love accepts you for who you are. It explores the hardships in finding your authentic self, your own identity and your passion, as well as the difficulties in harbouring feelings of not belonging anywhere until you find that special someone that makes you feel at home.We aim to keep this zine conceptually broad beyond this general theme so that all contributors can interpret it in many different ways, but we offer this mood board and color palette to assist you in finding some inspiration.
