ALT Origin of The R3 Journal! The creation of R³ was inspired by the philosophical concept of the rhizome developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their book A Thousand Plateaus and later applied to the “BTS Phenomenon” in the book by Dr. Lee Jiyoung, BTS, Art Revolution: BTS Meets Deleuze. This is also reflected in the organizational structure of the journal, which aims for decentralization, non-hierarchy, flexibility, and collaboration.
