BTS' V birthday

On BTS' V's birthday, here's looking back at the career of the global star and his ever-growing army of devoted fans.

He has established himself as the official Christmas singer of the band, with his songs Winter Bear, Christmas Bear and his recent cover of It Feels A Lot Like Christmas. It was another milestone in his flourishing career—-where V represented something far more than just being a K-Pop star. It rounds out the emotional depth of the vocalist team with Jimin, Jungkook and Jin, bringing stability to the overall performance of the band. During the PTD concert in Las Vegas, an injured Jin apologised to the audience and the members saying that he felt like a burden, and once again V stormed the stage, telling him off for saying that. He still has those hints of the childlike antics that endeared him to so many of his fans; but he knows that he has a bigger presence than he ever did before. V plays with concepts when it comes to his fashion game. The situation will be different, but V will still be the same. Jin has often berated himself for not being as good a dancer as the rest, and an angry V told him to never say that again. So I try to wear what best expresses who I am as a person every day, or how I feel each day.” Nevertheless, his sultry photoshoot didn’t fail to generate buzz online for days. Apart from magnetic stage presence like the rest of his members that range from smouldering glares to winks, he possesses a rather deep husky voice that can be caressing, aggressive and sensual as well. It’s a statement that shows the clear dichotomy between his stage presence V and his actual identity, Kim Taehyung. It’s a common perception among fans that he lives on a different plane, as evident from the manner where he zones out in bland interviews, or his personal philosophy.
