Fun Facts About V — BTS’s Mysterious Charmer

Kim Taehyung, better known as V, is a multi-talented vocalist, actor, and visual icon of BTS. Known for his baritone voice and model-like looks, V is also a walking contradiction: playful yet introspective, confident yet humble, old-soul yet mischievously youthful. Let’s unravel the fascinating layers that make V the unforgettable star he is.

1. V Was a Secret Member Until Just Before Debut

BigHit Entertainment famously kept V’s identity a secret until a few days before BTS’s debut. Fans were introduced to the rest of the group through pre-debut content, but V remained hidden. It created a lot of mystery — and when he was finally revealed, fans were immediately captivated.

2. He Was Scouted in an Unexpected Way

V didn’t go to the audition himself — he went to support a friend, but a BigHit staff member encouraged him to audition as well. He passed on the spot! That twist of fate gave us one of BTS’s most unique stars.

3. His Stage Name “V” Stands for “Victory”

When choosing his stage name, Taehyung had a few options, including “Lex” and “Six.” Ultimately, he chose V for “Victory,” with the guidance of Bang Si-hyuk. Fitting, considering all the victories he’s had since.

4. He Has the Deepest Voice in BTS

V’s signature deep baritone adds a haunting, rich texture to BTS’s music. His voice is instantly recognizable in tracks like Stigma, Singularity, Inner Child, and Love Me Again — sultry, jazzy, and incredibly smooth.

5. He’s a Talented Photographer and Artist

V has an eye for aesthetics. He often takes beautiful photos, loves old-school film photography, and goes by the pseudonym Vante when showcasing his work — a tribute to one of his favorite photographers, Ante Badzim.

6. He’s a K-Drama Actor

V made his acting debut in the historical drama “Hwarang” in 2016, playing the lovable and tragic character Hansung. Fans adored seeing his expressive acting, and it showed he’s got the chops for the big screen, too.

7. He’s a Fashion Icon

V’s fashion sense is on another level. Whether it’s vintage Gucci, boxy coats, or custom silk shirts, he rocks it with nonchalant confidence. He’s been praised by fashion magazines globally and even named the “Most Handsome Man in the World” several times.

8. His Best Friend Is Actor Park Seo-joon

V is part of the celebrity friend group known as the Wooga Squad, which includes Park Seo-joon, Choi Woo-shik, Park Hyung-sik, and Peakboy. Their friendship is wholesome and full of laughter — V even did a song with them called “In the Soop: Friendcation.”

9. He’s the King of Expression and Duality

Taehyung’s face is incredibly expressive. One second he’s smiling like an innocent puppy, and the next he’s giving you a smolder that could stop time. Fans call this “duality,” and no one does it quite like V.

10. He Was Classically Trained in Saxophone

V played the saxophone in middle school and was so good, he won awards. His love for jazz and classical music still shows in his personal playlists and musical tastes. He once even said he wants to bring jazz into K-pop someday.

11. He’s the “Secret Weapon” of BTS’s Choreography

Though V isn’t the main dancer, his expressiveness and body control are next level. When he performs, he tells a story with his eyes and every movement. He makes even simple steps look powerful — it’s all about how he sells the emotion.

14. He Was Born on December 30, 1995

That makes him a Capricorn, known for being determined, creative, and a bit mysterious — all things V embodies. He often jokes about being the “youngest of the hyungs” due to his late December birthday.

15. He’s a True Romantic and Sentimentalist

V is incredibly sentimental, cherishing memories, photos, and small gifts from fans or members. He loves things that have emotional weight — like polaroids, handwritten letters, and even scents. His romantic soul is apparent in his music and words.

16. He Once Went Viral for Saying “Borahae” (I Purple You)

Taehyung coined the term “Borahae” (보라해), which means “I Purple You.” He explained that purple is the last color of the rainbow, symbolizing trust and love that lasts. It’s now an iconic symbol of BTS and ARMY.

17. He’s Known for His “Boxy” Smile

V’s boxy grin is one of his most charming features. It crinkles his eyes, lights up his face, and makes ARMYs go feral. It’s pure, unfiltered joy — the kind that makes you smile back, even from across the world.

18. He’s Really Good at Games (and Cheating at Them 😆)
