Early Life in Daegu

Kim Taehyung, known as V from the globally acclaimed K-pop group BTS, was born on December 30, 1995, in Daegu, South Korea. The eldest of three children, V spent his early years in Daegu before moving to Geochang in Gyeongsangnam-do during his sixth grade. It was here where he completed his elementary and middle school education, before returning to Daegu for high school.

The Audition That Changed Everything

In September 2011, V's journey to stardom began in an unexpected way. Accompanying a friend to an audition for Big Hit Entertainment, V caught the eye of the company's representatives with his striking looks. While his friend didn't make it, V was the only one from Daegu who passed, marking the start of his path to becoming a member of BTS.

Debut as BTS' V

After over a year and a half of training, V made his debut on June 13, 2013, as a member of BTS. Interestingly, he was the last member to be revealed to the public. The company kept his identity secret until debut due to his young age, good looks, and excellent voice, fearing he might be poached by another agency. This secrecy led to his nickname "Secret Weapon V."

The Charm of V

V's stage name is pronounced as "Vee," representing victory. He stands out not only for his visual appeal, which has earned him numerous accolades, but also for his unique baritone voice. In BTS, he is known for his husky, low tones, adding a distinct flavor to the group's music.

Voted the 'Most Handsome'

V's good looks have not gone unnoticed. In 2018, he topped the 'I-Magazine Fashion Face Award', an accolade given after extensive review by industry professionals. He also secured the first place in 'The 100 Men In Fashion World 2020' by The World List, surpassing international stars like Harry Styles and Justin Bieber. In early 2019, he was voted the 'Best Looking Real-Life Idol' by 100 current K-Pop idols, and in 2021, he was officially certified as 'The Most Handsome Man in the World' by Nubia Magazine.

A Vocal and Rap Talent

V's vocal range is wide and expressive, playing a crucial role in the BTS sound. He has the unique ability to deliver deep, soothing low notes as well as powerful high notes. His baritone voice is so distinctive that he was the first Korean artist to be listed on Wikipedia's 'Non-Classical Baritone List'. V has also shown a keen interest in rap, often covering BTS's rap lines in concerts and fan meetings.

Dancing Skills

Initially debuting as a vocalist, V has honed his dancing skills over the years. Recognized for his rhythm and control, he has become a favorite among fans for his dance performances. His growth in dance was officially acknowledged in 2018 when he was recognized as part of BTS's dance line.

A Warm and Affable Personality

V is known for his kindness and warmth towards everyone. His colleagues and collaborators often express their appreciation for his genuine and loving nature. This endearing personality has made him a beloved figure both within and outside the BTS community.

Setting Social Media Records

V has made history on social media platforms, being the first Korean celebrity to hit milestones like 10 and 20 million 'likes' on Instagram. He achieved this feat with a photo from BTS's 'Butter Concept Photo version 1', showcasing his immense popularity.

V's journey from Daegu to becoming a global icon is a testament to his talent, hard work, and charismatic personality. His contributions to BTS and his individual accomplishments have made him a significant figure in the world of music and beyond.
