A look at K-pop and BTS star V’s coolest career moments
As everyone’s favourite K-pop artist, V is not just a singer with an extraordinary voice but a producer, songwriter and actor. Here’s wishing him a very happy birthday
K-pop group BTS is the world's biggest boy band, in K-pop and beyond, crossing borders to gain international recognition and fame.
Part of BTS’ charm no doubt comes from Kim Tae-hyung, who goes by the stage name V. Cheerful and always full of energy, he’s surely one of our favourite K-pop artists.
And as he turns 24 on Monday, December 30, we’re taking the time to celebrate it by reflecting on his career path – and why he’s beloved by his fans worldwide.
He’s comfortable making fun of himself
Apart from his established prowess as a singer, V is also adept at playing the saxophone.
He learned the saxophone for three years when he was in middle school. When BTS guest-starred on Star Show, V demonstrated his saxophone skills, and was engulfed in a sea of laughter when his fellow band members teased him about it.
He’s a budding producer and composer
He co-wrote and co-produced the song, Hold Me Tight, showing off another side to him. And to celebrate BTS’ fourth anniversary, he also co-produced the song 4 o’clock with RM.
