JAKARTA - One of the BTS members, V or Kim Taehyung, is celebrating his 26th birthday today, Wednesday, December 30.

At a young age, V has won many international achievements both solo and with BTS. But there are many other interesting stories about V BTS. What are they? VOI summarizes it through this article.

Debut Story

Growing up as Kim Taehyung, V was born and lives in the city of Daegu. After accompanying an audition friend, Taehyung took part in the audition and the Big Hit Entertainment agency contacted him. He also followed the process smoothly and became one of Big Hit's weapons when debuting BTS because of his handsome visuals and good vocals.

Reportedly, because he was afraid of being taken by other agencies, V's existence in BTS's debut was hidden from the public.

Have Many Public Figure Friends

K-pop idols are known as people who are quite closed with their friendship but not V BTS. He has many friends from public figures such as Park Bo Gum, Choi Woo Shik, Peakboy, Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung Sik, Ha Ji Won, Kim Min Jae, Sungjae BTOB, and others.

Because of that, V got the nickname social butterfly. At every opportunity, V often shares his moments together with his celebrity friends. As a fan of Girl's Generation, he is considered a successful fan because he can be friends with one of its members, YoonA.

Love the Art World

ARMY (as BTS fans) know that BTS really likes the art world. He often shares moments when he goes to a museum or is in the mood for a work of art.

Through the name Vante, V likes to upload his work on social media. Fans also follow in V's footsteps. He also often shoots landscapes and sends them to fans. Vincent Van Gogh is his favorite artist.

Try acting

His first role was in the Korean drama Hwarang from KBS in 2016-2017. He played Han Sung, the youngest member of the Hwarang group. With his little experience, V was able to liven up the atmosphere of filming Hwarang.

That role made him closer to other artist friends. It's not uncommon when they meet outside of the set, they like to interact in front of the camera. Through the same drama, V also sang the song It's Definitely You.

Dear Fans

V BTS often presents fans with a song he composed and sang himself. In 2019, the song Winter Bear, which contains English lyrics, was released exclusively with a music video recorded by V himself.

After that, V also released a cover of the song Traffic Light from Paul Kim and filled the Itaewon Class soundtrack entitled Sweet Night. The soundtrack managed to occupy the first position in all iTunes abroad.

Recently, he released a song called Snow Flower which is uploaded via YouTube and Soundcloud. V created this song so that fans can feel happy welcoming the end of the year amidst this difficult situation.

"I hope that for today, white flowers will fall into your heart and you will feel comfort and pleasure," wrote V on the BTS blog.

The talented V BTS figure makes fans feel proud of his idol. On his 26th birthday, V received many greetings until the hashtag #HappyTaehyungDay echoed through social media. Happy birthday, V BTS!
