V has also released, unofficially, a cover of " Hug Me " with BTS bandmate j-hope as well as a cover of " Someone Like You " by Adele.

In May 2018, his second solo song, " Singularity " was released as the trailer for BTS' then upcoming third LP, Love Yourself: Tear . A month after its release, The Guardian added "Singularity" to its "Top 50 songs for the month of June 2018" playlist. Billboard included it in their Critics' list of the "Top 50 BTS songs" at number 28. The track made its UK radio debut on BBC radio on October 25.

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. He also collaborated with fellow BTS member Jin for the Hwarang soundtrack entitled " It's Definitely You ". On June 8, 2017, he released " 4 O'CLOCK ", a song he co-produced with fellow BTS member RM , to celebrate BTS’ fourth anniversary.

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. He co-produced the track together with RM, Hiss Noise , and Adora . He also photographed the cover artwork using his pseudonym Vante .

In 2020, V participated in a song titled " Sweet Night " for the soundtrack of the JTBC drama Itaewon Class which was released on March 13, 2020. Produced, written and sung by V, the indie pop song is entirely in English. The song received generally favourable reviews for its composition, vocal performance and warm lyrics, and debuted at number 2 on Billboard 's U.S. Digital Song Sales chart, the highest debut for a Korean soloist in the chart's history. 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.

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

bts kim taehyung biography

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.

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.

Besides performing, V also took on acting projects. He debuted as an actor in late 2016 through the historical drama "Hwarang."

V Shares The Journey That Led to Layover – And How His BTS Members Helped Get Him There

By Michelle Hyun Kim

Michelle Hyun Kim

Sure, V has achieved idol status during his decade-long career with BTS , received recognition as an actor for his supporting role in the 2016 Korean drama Hwarang , and established his own identity as a singer-songwriter . But he’s more than happy to admit that he doesn’t have it all figured out. 

For the past three years, the 27-year-old musician and actor, born Kim Taehyung, has been continuously writing songs, showing them to fans in occasional video livestreams only to start over entirely. All of it has been in pursuit of finding the right direction for the debut solo album that eventually became Layover , out Friday.

“Instead of taking a direct route, you could stop somewhere and stay for a while, or take a transfer, or do a layover,” he tells Rolling Stone through an interpreter on a brutally hot summer day in Seoul. “I just felt that my life, wherever it’s headed, would not follow a direct path.”

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

Layover builds on V’s previous solo tracks, which include 2019’s “Scenery” and “Winter Bear.” In 2020, he released the melancholic ballad “Blue & Grey” as part of BTS, using sparse images of flower-lined streets and snow to express his inner world of grief and loneliness. Layover is also filled with complicated feelings that surround a sense of nostalgia, with its romanticization of the past and all its regrets. These were ideas V had started exploring through his original themes for Korean dramas like “Sweet Night,” for 2020’s Itaewon Class and “Christmas Tree,” for 2021’s Our Beloved Summer . They’re also a testament to his growth as an artist since joining Big Hit Entertainment at age 15. Through BTS, he’s shown his versatility and charisma through DMX-esque hip-hop vocals , high-octane dance EDM, and fun party rap. Now, he is embarking on his own journey, setting the itinerary himself. “I’m just beginning to paint the picture that is Kim Taehyung,” V says. 

While V perfected the songs on Layover , the album was executive produced by Min Hee Jin, the president of ADOR (a subsidiary label of HYBE), who has been renowned for her work on NewJeans, a group that draws on the spirit of the Nineties. Layover , however, delves further back into the past, with its palette of jazzy pianos, warm bass, and fluttering flute solos pulling from V’s love for jazz and classical music. 

BTS' J-Hope, Jungkook Bring Love and Trust to 'I Wonder'

Where to stream j-hope's new docuseries, 'hope on the street', bts member v shares live performance video of heartbreak track 'fri(end)s'.

Yet in conversation, V’s demeanor is the opposite of gloomy. Showing flashes of playfulness, he takes advantage of the time that the translator spends interpreting in English to draw a goofy face on the whiteboard in the HYBE meeting room. Then, he pretends not to know it exists when I ask him about it. Throughout the rest of the conversation, he’s earnest as he offers his thoughts on his songwriting process, watching his fellow BTS members release their solo work, his obsession with scenery, and how he would personally define what “romance” is. 

What is the significance of this album title, Layover ? What kinds of thoughts or feelings does a layover bring up for you, and how did you express that in the songs? The title Layover came about while I was contemplating what my final destination is in my life and career and the way to get there. The intent behind naming my first solo album, Layover , is to represent a starting point ,like I’m just beginning to paint the picture that is Kim Taehyung. 

I realized there’s a long way to the final destination of my life. There’s a lot of different ways to get to that final destination.Why not give yourself the time to rest, look back at myself, and create new goals? Thinking about all of that, I decided on the name Layover . I really hope that listeners of this album will also take it as an opportunity to reflect on their lives, think about their goals, and take some moments of rest wherever they need. 

Last year, you mentioned in Weverse Magazine that you scrapped all the songs you made for this solo album and started fresh again. When you started over, did you want to go in an entirely new direction? For the past three or four years, I have been continuously songwriting and making music. Throughout that time, the thing that concerned me the most was how my taste and preferences, the kind of music I wanted to make, were changing every year, every month. You could say that I was being very ambitious about this solo album. I had an attitude of, “I wanna show this, and I wanna show that,” which is why the style [of the songs] continued to evolve.

The music that I’m working on now is stylistically different from this album.

So for Layover , what did you want to achieve with the production style? When I listened to it, I personally felt like there were jazz and classical music influences. As you mentioned, jazz and classical are my favorite genres, so I think I always had the desire to try making it myself. It was the music that I grew up listening to. Whenever I had free time, or when there was a break between my work, I tended to go back to those styles. I felt a sense of comfort while listening to them, so I really wanted to try to make music that also brings that feeling of consolation to the audience. While I was preparing this album, I thought, “Since this is the music that was always my source of comfort, why don’t I try to return the feeling for ARMY?” 

When did you first start listening to jazz, and what about it drew you in? I started listening to jazz when I was around 14 years old, in my first year of middle school, but it was not really by choice. I had started playing saxophone, and I had to practice for school admission exams, so I listened to jazz a lot. But I actually really hated it at the time. I thought to myself that I would never listen to it again after I was done [preparing]. 

But after time passed, I started to notice it again. You know, when you’re walking down the street and you just hear music in passing? I started hearing jazz songs that  I recognized,like  “Oh, I know this one! Oh, this is that song!”And it suddenly felt very fresh. Jazz started to have a new meaning, because it wasn’t part of my work or studies. After hearing it more naturally, I started falling in love with the genre and seeing its merits. I think it was around my early 20s that I rediscovered my love for jazz again. 

Oh definitely. You’re still young. Like we’ve both said, I think a lot of young people these days have nostalgia for an older time and they tend to romanticize it. To you, what does the word “romance” mean?  I think I live with the word “romance” in my mouth. It’s really part of my vocabulary. I tend to really enjoy the atmosphere and the vibe in the scenes of everyday life. I think I’m the kind of person to try to find meaning in everything. So whether that means going to beautiful places or eating delicious food or looking at nice scenery, I think that’s what romance is to me. You know, it’s like they say, “Live in style, die in style.”

In this album and the past songs you’ve written, you tend to reference a lot of nature, whether it’s rain, snow, the moon, or nighttime. Is it that you want to express your feelings through these kinds of images?  Yes. Our leader RM, he’s really great at writing lyrics in a poetic way, so I’m always learning from him. So whenever I study lyrics and write them myself, I tend to gravitate toward my favorite words. “Night” comes up a lot, because it’s my favorite time of day, and it tends to be the moments of my life when I think and reflect the most. “Snow” comes up because it indicates my favorite season. “Dawn” is also really great. I can be a person who thinks one-dimensionally or simply, so I try to adorn my songs with my favorite words. One by one, I try to bring out [the beauty of these words]. I try to learn from RM in that regard. 

Did any of your fellow members help you specifically with this album? Or is there any feedback they gave you when they heard the songs?  So I didn’t realize this at the time, but I really didn’t show the songs in progress with my bandmates that much. In the beginning, since J-Hope was the first to release his solo album, he listened to my songs. And Jung Kook also listened to my work-in-progress with me, and we had a lot of discussions about what the direction should be. But what I think is really interesting, especially after talking with all of them, is that all seven of us really have our own unique color when it comes to music. Our approach is completely different, and the way that we want our performances to look are different too, so I think that’s what made those discussions very fun. 

Why didn’t you show your members your songs that much?  It’s just that we didn’t have a lot of opportunities to meet in person, since we were all busy with our own personal schedules. For me, at that time, I was filming the show Jinny’s Kitchen . So whenever we did have a chance to meet, we just caught up on life, and we didn’t really have a chance to discuss music.

To ask a question about acting, I’ve read that you really want to play a villain, which feels a little unexpected. I’m wondering why that kind of role appeals to you. I’m someone who just really loves watching movies. Whenever I do, I find myself naturally drawn more to the villain characters rather than the heroes. When you watch a film, you have to look at the big picture, or the forest for the trees. I think that villains play a very big role in making that overall picture complete; they really have to sell their own charisma to make the movie come to life. If the villain doesn’t really have depth to their character, or if there’s no chemistry between the characters, then the hero can’t really shine either. So I always end up watching the villain characters closely. I’ve told a lot of my friends and people around me that I now have this ambition to play a villain at least once.

Kim Taehyung V Biography: The Rise of BTS’ Renaissance Man

V, a well-known South Korean singer-songwriter and member of the internationally acclaimed K-pop group BTS (Bangtan Boys), was born Kim Tae-Hyung on December 30, 1995. As a solo artist, V has put out a number of successful singles, such as “Stigma” (2016), “Singularity” (2018), and “Inner Child” (2020), that have topped the Gaon Digital Chart in South Korea. He made his solo debut in 2019 with the song “Scenery,” which demonstrated his skill as a songwriter.

V co-wrote the soundtrack for the 2016 historical drama “Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth” with his bandmate Jin. V has established himself as a major player in the K-pop industry by attracting a large global fan base, especially from younger and female demographics, with his remarkable vocal skills and compelling stage presence.

V Early Life

V (Kim Tae-Hyung), a resident of Geochang County, is the oldest of his siblings; he has a younger brother and sister. He had an ambition of being a professional singer since he was little. V’s father supported him when he started taking saxophone lessons in middle school, which helped him pursue his musical interests. His ascent to fame began when he was hired as a trainee at Big Hit Entertainment following a fruitful audition in Daegu.

2014 saw V graduate from Korean Arts High School and enrol in Global Cyber University to pursue a graduate degree. He started studying for an MBA in Advertising and Media at Hanyang Cyber University in 2021, broadening his knowledge and expertise beyond the field of music.

v career

Allow me to tell you about V from BTS and her amazing career! Since he joined the group in 2013, this man has been a rising star in the music industry. V, a member of the internationally recognised K-pop trio, immediately won over fans with his deep, velvety vocals and captivating imagery. But V is much more than just a charming appearance; he is a true artist who is passionate about making music and compositions.

His solo albums include the number-one hits in South Korea, “Stigma,” “Singularity,” and “Inner Child.” Because these songs highlight V’s emotional range and versatility as a vocalist, fans go crazy for them. In addition, his performance in the historical drama “Hwarang” in 2016 demonstrated his versatility as an entertainer. Let’s not overlook his acting abilities. V is currently balancing his MBA programme with his music profession because he is a lifelong learner and development. What a magnificent king!

The proverb “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” applies here. That certainly applies to V and his fantastic family, though. This man is the oldest of three children, having grown up in Geochang County. His younger siblings undoubtedly look up to their famous brother.

I’ve heard that V’s parents are the coolest people. It was likely his father who first recognised the musical spark in him and urged him to take up the saxophone back in middle school. Could you picture yourself as the father of a K-pop idol? V’s parents must be beaming with pride as they see their eldest perform flawlessly in front of millions of admirers throughout the globe.

Despite his current status as a global celebrity, I believe V hails from a very modest and close-knit family. Despite his enormous success, his small town upbringing and strong family values have undoubtedly kept him grounded. They must find it quite touching to watch one of their own achieve such success while remaining true to who he is.
