V’s inspiring journey as the hidden member of BTS to the #1 Asian soloist in the world.

Today, Kim Taehyung or V of BTS is a household name. Today, the world sings songs of his talents, kindness, beauty, and records. It is impossible to imagine BTS without V’s soulful vocals, his jaw-dropping performances, and a personality brimming with kindness and cuteness. However, in 2013, BTS was visibly a six-member group as V was only revealed a few weeks prior to their debut. He was never shown in Bangtan Bombs, members logs, or on any social media posts prior to the official announcement. While Big Hit Entertainment has stated him as their “ Secret Weapon ” and fans concluded it as a marketing strategy, V has on various occasions talked about the downsides of being the hidden member. In his first-ever log, he mentioned that he felt lonely and said: “Even when we shot as a complete group, I wouldn’t be seen on screen but I was sitting next to the trash can.”

However, with the official announcement of BTS’s seventh and final member, one of the sub-vocalist and a visual of the group, V took over the hearts of fans fairly quickly. In under seven years, V has become one of the most popular and acclaimed members of the group.

Since debut, V has been widely known for his charismatic stage presence. His powerful dance moves, deadly facial expressions, and gestures have earned him the title of “ Stage Genius .” Today, numerous rookie idols express their desire to be a performer like him. Today, V holds multiple records with his fancams, most notably being the idol with the most-watched, most-liked, and most-commented solo fancam in K-pop history. So it comes to no surprise that he is now an official member of BTS’s dance line.

In the earlier pieces of BTS’s discography, V was quite popular for his “growling” as many fans noted his deep voice as extremely sexy. As the years passed and the fans heard more of V’s voice, he became known as the one with the most distinctive voice color as well as the most soulful vocalist.

Several media critics have cited V’s lower range as a "prominent piece of BTS’s music” and remarked him for his vocal range and unique musicality and said: “V has no problem producing super soothing low tones that are a key element in the overall sound of BTS.”

Today, V is the vocal line member with the most KOMCA credits to his name proving his capabilities as a record producer. Furthermore, thanks to his solo songs: “ Scenery ” and “ Winter Bear ” which he released in the year 2019, V was reported as the “most-streamed artist on SoundCloud in 2019”

With the release of his first-ever solo song on paid platforms, V has written his name in music history as the first and only artist in the world to dominate the iTunes chart of 115 countries. V surpassed “ Hello ” by Grammy-winning artist Adele and has achieved records that popular western “chart monsters” such as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Drake are yet to achieve. He is also the only Asian soloist in history to dominate the major music markets in the world. With songs he has written, produced and sung such as “Winter Bear” “Scenery” and “ Sweet Night ”, V has reigned over the charts and streaming platforms rightfully earning him the title of “ #1 soloist in the world.”

As a visual of the group, V has quite effortlessly proven his role as the “ stan attractor of the group. ” Whether it was with his “orange hair” in 2014 or going viral every time, BTS attended a western award show, V has stolen the hearts of fans worldwide. Today, V holds over 20+ visual titles and plastic surgeons and professionals across the globe deem his visuals as “unique and stunning” earning him the honorable title as the “ visual representation for K-pop .”

Moreover, V’s unique creativity and his ability to always think outside the box has left a significant mark in BTS’s history. “ I Purple You ” coined by V is a phenomenon. The color “purple” has officially become one of the most prominent factors in BTS’s career. Whether, it is the landmarks being lit up in purple in honor of the group or renowned brands, celebrities and media associating the color purple, and the purple hearts with BTS and ARMY, V has created a symbol for BTS.

One thing that hasn't changed in seven years is V’s endearing personality, his unique take on life and his ever-growing love for the fans. Whether it is his blurry selfies, his authentic fashion, his random love confessions, or his wish to heal people through his music, performances, and interactions, V has continued to be the “happiness preacher” for the fans in every way he could.

V who ended his first log with the promise that he would show many sides of him to the fans have over the years, successfully proven himself to be a multi-talented idol. He is today, an icon to many, an inspiration to fans worldwide and an incredible role model. With BTS renewing their contract for seven more years, it is exciting to see what more V has in store for the fans.

A young boy who had to stand by the trashcan while his members were making vlogs and talking to their soon-to-be fans, someone who had his dreams crushed over and over, someone who had so many false scandals and got so much hate... But someone who kept smiling and working, improving and laughing, someone who finally was able to achieve his dreams...

Taehyung really has come a long way from a young country-side boy to a man who most people think of when they think of Kpop or Korea in general, he has really grown alongside BTS and still remained his humble, smiling self! I'm always so proud to be a fan of a man like this with outstanding talent and overflowing love from his huge heart! We bora you, Taehyung!!!

It's amazing to see how far these boys have come, V is really a total package along with the other members! I think all of them have really proven themselves! I'm glad they aren't just sitting around doing nothing during these hard times with covid.

V shooting Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth in 2016.

In 2016, V made his acting debut with a supporting role in KBS2's historical drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth under his real name.

V released his first full solo track outside of BTS, " Scenery ", on January 30, 2019 through the group's SoundCloud page. The ballad was written and composed by V—he also photographed the cover artwork—and produced by Big Hit producer Docskim, with additional contributions from two other Big Hit producers, Pdogg and Hiss Noise. It broke SoundCloud records for reaching 100 million streams from 20 million in over fourteen days, the shortest time for the platform. Over the course of the two weeks following its release, "Scenery" broke the daily streaming record nine times.  Seven months later, he released his second solo song and his first full English song entitled " Winter Bear " through SoundCloud, accompanied by a self-directed music video via BTS' YouTube channel on August 9.

On December 25, 2020, V released a solo track titled " Snow Flower " featuring Peakboy.

On September 8, 2023, he will make his first official debut with his mini-album " Layover ".

Impact and influence

V coined the phrase "I purple you" during BTS' fanmeeting in November 2016. Ever since then, purple has become a symbol of BTS and their fans. UNICEF also used the phrase for their anti-bullying campaign in collaboration with BTS.

In 2018, Eugene Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. conducted analytical research on Google search trends relating to the K-pop industry. "V" ranked first on the chart, meaning it was the number one most searched keyword for the past five years in South Korea. In a survey conducted by Gallup Korea, V was chosen as the 4th most preferred idol of 2019; he was previously ranked 9th in 2018.

Various artists have cited him as an influence and role model, such as The Boyz 's Younghoon , Hyun Jun (former The Boyz's Hwall), Golden Child 's Jaehyun , K-TIGERS ZERO 's Hyunmin (former Rainz 's Byun Hyun-min), ATEEZ 's Yeosang and Mingi , former D-CRUNCH members Jungseung and Dylan , XEED 's Bao (formerly of Lucente ), NewKidd 's Yunmin , Boy Story 's Hanyu, TXT 's Beomgyu , and former Wanna One member Park Ji-hoon .

V possesses a baritone singing voice that has received a generally positive critical reception, with particular praise for his vocal range and "husky" tone. He gained wider vocal recognition for his performance of his solo song " Stigma ", and was praised for his falsettos that showed off his vocal range and unique musicality. V's tonality on "Singularity", the opening track of BTS' Love Yourself: Tear (2018), was noted as a prominent "tone setter" on the album by music critic Blanca Méndez. Similarly, Katie Goh of Vice deemed it as "one of V's best vocal performances." Karen Ruffini of Elite Daily stated in their article that "V... has no problem producing super soothing, low tones that are a key element in the overall sound for BTS," with Tamar Herman from Billboard also noting that V's lower range is a prominent piece of BTS' music. V's musicality is heavily influenced by his love for jazz and classical music. Eric Benet and Ruben Studdard are among his inspirations.

As a performer, V's style is known for its "duality", or his ability to evoke various emotions on stage. British journalist Rhian Daly, writing for NME , particularly noted this when discussing V's performance of " Singularity " during the Love Yourself: Speak Yourself World Tour, describing his movements as "precise and deliberate". Crystal Bell from MTV noted V's performances often work with live cameras in concert venues, and how he utilizes them to create subtle expressions during performances.
