What are you waiting for? Let’s scroll down and find out about BTS’s V’s style throughout time, below!
Kim Tae-hyung’s Pre-debut and Childhood
BTS’ V was born with the real name Kim Tae-hyung (Hangul: 김태형) and his family consists of parents, younger sisters and younger brothers. V was born in Daegu,but he also lived in Gochang for several years. Since he was in kindergarten, V was indeed a very cheerful child, and was very loved by the teachers. Every time he found something beautiful, he would bring it to them and they would compliment him, saying “Oh, good!“, Which made him happy. BTS’s V was born with a very small, cute face. His innocent face and the look in his eyes hasn’t changed even now. His childhood photo showing him with a big smile reminds us of the gummy smile that V often shows when he’s laughing. Behind his current success, BTS’s V has a lot of memories from his childhood, and how he was active in the village before debuting as an idol in what has become a very famous group. V has fond memories of a child who is close to him and is in the same group (class) with him. He would share his green candy, which was very popular at that time, with him. V also made many memories with his grandmother when he was young. His grandmother would drop him off and pick him up at kindergarten, and every day V would wait for her to pick him up ands he would buy him yuzu tea from a vending machine. When V was in elementary school, he was a curious child and wanted to try everything. He wanted to stay overnight at his friends’ homes and anticipated the taekwondo training camp with enthusiasm. Many children from his kindergarten were registered at the same elementary school, so he had many friends. Every day he played with his friends in the park until it got dark. But V didn’t just play, he also took courses from the sixth grade to the last year of middle school. Although he lives in the countryside and could only imagine being a farmer, he continued to study hard. That changed when he started to like music. He doesn’t really remember when, but V whined to his parents by saying, “Buy me MP3 ~ I also want to listen to music!“, and start downloading and listening to music. Until the end of sixth grade, V dreamed of becoming a singer. That was the first time V had a dream. Tp help him become a singer, he learned the saxophone and how to dance. V started trying for his dream during his first year in middle school. When his father asked “What do you want to do in the future?“, V replied “I wants to be a singer.” When he was young, his father wanted to be an actor, so he seriously said “If you want to be a singer, you have to learn to play instruments.” That’s how V finally ended up playing saxophone for three years. It looks cool, but your lips will start to hurt and it (saxophone) is heavy, so at that time it was difficult. But V still thought “If I want to be a singer, I have to be able to play instruments!“, So he stayed with it and even won first prize in the South Gyeongsang province competition. When V was still a kid, he enrolled in a dance broadcasting club, a club where people who love dance could learn K-Pop choreography. At that time, he was very busy because he played saxophone, danced, and also took courses. In his free time, he liked to play basketball with his friends. He was not very good, but his friends really like basketball, and because of their influence he also started to like it and would play whenever he could. V stopped playing saxophone because he wanted to focus more on practicing his dance skill. That is, as a singer you don’t look too cool unless you can dance well, right? V wanted to study it seriously, so when he entered high school, he started going to dance school. After more than half a year, Big Hit Entertainment held an unofficial audition. His friend wanted to try out, and V had time so he went with him. During the audition, he danced, rapped, did impressions (imitating someone / something), and also did one-liner jokes. V thought “I really failed“, but they contacted him and told him that he was accepted. He thoughts they are lying, but V is the only one who passed the audition from Daegu. His trainee days are filled with memories with the other members. In September of his first year of high school, V moved to Seoul and was transferred to an art school and began to live in a dorm. When he entered, there were already Jungkook, Suga, J-Hope, and Rap Monster. V is not a shy person so he is close to everyone. The fact that he managed to become a trainee made him very happy, and every day was very fun. Even though they had to practice a lot and couldn’t live a normal high school life, they made a lot of memories for themselves in the dorm and during practice. One thing he remembers most until now is that on January 1, the seven members went to an amusement park. They tried to look cool and stylish, and in the end they all wore black clothes because they looked very striking. When it was decided that BTS would debut, his existence was considered a secret weapon and was kept a secret until the end. That is why V couldn’t tell anyone that he would be debuting, which made it very frustrating. All the other members had a schedule, and V could only rest in the dorm. That’s why when finally it was official (debut), V felt very happy, and thought “My dream since the sixth grade has finally come true!” BTS is the first and last team in his life. Until the end, V wants to be more successful with the other members. When they finally succeed, V wants to be able to look back and say “This is how hard we are trying for this“. He wants to try acting if he has a chance, but doing something halfway is not good, right? He wants to study acting in earnest, and wants to try it when he thinks he’s ready.
