The enigmatic, whimsical, talented, and gorgeous Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, is having a birthday very soon. He was born in Daegu, South Korea on December 30, 1995. I would like to thank his parents for falling in love and creating such an awesome gift to the world.
I can hear you thinking, "Dramatic much?"
You might already know the story of how I fell into love with BTS. It was Park Jimin that drew me in. It didn’t take long before another member captured my heart. While watching BTS perform "Telepathy" on MTV Unplugged, I saw V. He looked into my eyes as he tilted his head and bit his lip and that was it, my body started producing happy hormones. “Oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are often referred to as our “happy hormones.” They are produced when you have a crush. I suddenly felt positive vibes.
I need to say at this point, I didn’t want to leave my husband and run off to South Korea. It was more like “Oh my gosh! If I was a twenty-something I would be so in love right now.” But, since I am a happily married woman, my husband reaped the benefits of my happy hormones. win-win
Each member of BTS brings his own talent and personality to the team. The uniqueness of each being blended together with such perfection is what makes the magic of BTS. V is a songwriter, vocalist, dancer, and visual. Visual means that he is very pleasing to look at. Not surprisingly, he has topped the Most Handsome Man in the World list for the past few years. His baritone voice is husky yet smooth. Reminiscent of the jazz music that he is a fan of. It’s the kind of voice you would like to have whispering in your ear. He also is an actor having made his debut in 2016 in the drama, Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth.
just V facts
V is known for his quirky and sometimes offbeat humor.
He has a pomeranian named Yeontan that is beloved by BTS and ARMY alike. Fans often ask V to post pictures of Yeontan and inquire about him on social media.
On December 6 of this year, the members of BTS each started their own personal Instagram account. V set two Guinness World Records. The first by reaching one million followers on his account @thv in 43 minutes and second by gaining 10 million followers in four hours and 52 minutes, according to Guinness.
Borahae, one of the most meaningful phrases in the BTS fandom, was created by V during a concert in 2016. He was inspired by the purple glow of the light sticks of ARMY. He combined the Korean word meaning purple (bora) with the Korean phrase meaning I love you (saranghae). It has since turned into a term distinctly linked to BTS and it's how purple became their representative color.
“Purple is the last color of the rainbow colors so it means I will trust and love u for a long time.”

For his birthday, I have created playlists on Spotify and Soundcloud to share some of V's work with BTS as well as some of his solo work.
It is very soothing.
Be prepared.
