Kim Tae-hyung (Korean김태형; born December 30, 1995),[1] also known by his stage name V, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor. He is a vocalist of the South Korean boy group BTS.[2]

Early life and education

V was born Kim Tae-hyung (Korean김태형) on December 30, 1995 in Daegu, South Korea,[3] and grew up in Geochang County.[4] He is the eldest of three children, with a younger brother and sister.[5] V first aspired to be a professional singer in elementary school,[6] and eventually began taking saxophone lessons in early middle school as a means of pursuing the career.[5][6] V's father agreed with his journey on learning how to play the saxophone. [7] V initially became a trainee for Big Hit Entertainment after passing an audition in Daegu.[8]

After graduating from Korean Arts High School in 2014, V enrolled in Global Cyber University.[citation needed]

Career

2013–present: BTS

On June 13, 2013, he made his debut as a member of BTS on Mnet's M Countdown with the track "No More Dream" from their debut single album, 2 Cool 4 Skool. He was first credited for music composition in The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1 when he co-wrote and co-produced the song "Hold Me Tight". He also contributed to writing lyrics for the song "Fun Boyz", co-composed by bandmate Suga. For the song "Run", V's melody was used with Jungkook's original lyrics for the next album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2. Furthermore, he contributed to music composition and lyrics for a solo song called "Stigma" from the album Wings. V has also released, unofficially, a cover of "Hug Me" with bandmate J-Hope as well as a cover of "Someone Like You" by Adele.[9]

In May 2018, his second solo song, "Singularity" was released as the trailer for BTS' then upcoming third LP, Love Yourself: Tear. The track made its UK radio debut on BBC radio on October 25.[10] A month after its release, The Guardian added "Singularity" to its "Top 50 songs for the month of June 2018" playlist[11] and Billboard included it in their Critics' list of the "Top 50 BTS songs" at number 28.[12] Overall, "Singularity" was generally well received by critics and as a result was mentioned on several year end Critics' Choice lists. The New York Times ranked it twentieth on its list of "The 65 Best Songs of 2018" alongside "Fake Love",[13] LA Times Pop Music Critic Mikael Wood named it the fourth "best and most replay worthy song of 2018",[14] and Guardian Music Critic Laura Snapes included it as one of her favourite tracks in their “Best Music of 2018: Albums and Tracks" list.[15]

On October 24, V became one of the youngest recipients of the prestigious fifth-class Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit medal, awarded to him by the President of South Korea along with the other members of BTS for their role in the spread of culture.[16][17]

V, together with bandmate J-Hope, collaborated with Swedish singer Zara Larsson on a song called "A Brand New Day" for the soundtrack album of their mobile game BTS World.[18] It was released on June 14, 2019 and debuted at number 1 on World Digital Song Sales Chart.[19]

2016–present: Solo activities

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.[20] He also collaborated with bandmate Jin on a duet for the Hwarang soundtrack entitled "It's Definitely You".[21] On June 8, 2017, he released "4 O'Clock", a song he co-produced with bandmate RM, to celebrate BTS’ fourth anniversary.[22]

V released his first full solo track outside of BTS, "Scenery", on January 30, 2019 through BTS' SoundCloud page.[23] The ballad song was written and composed by V (who also photographed the cover artwork), produced by Big Hit Entertainment producer Docskim, and featured additional contributions from Big Hit producers Pdogg and Hiss Noise.[24] 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. The song received generally favorable reviews following its release,[25] with particular praise directed to the nostalgic and sentimental qualities of the lyrics, which were equated to a diary entry.[26][27] Seven months later, he released his second solo song and first English song, "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 bandmate RM and Big Hit Entertainment producers Hiss Noise and Adora. He also photographed the cover artwork using his pseudonym, "Vante".[28][29]

Impact and influence

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.[30] In a survey conducted by Gallup Korea he ranked as the 9th most preferred idol of 2018.[31]

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.[32]

Various artists have cited him as an influence and role model, such as The Boyz's Younghoon and Hwall,[33] Golden Child's Jaehyun[34] and Jangjun, MVP's Been,[35] Rainz's Byun Hyun-min,[36] Ateez's Yeosang and Mingi, D-Crunch's Jungseung and Dylan, Lucente's Bao,[33] Newkidd's Yunmin, Boy Story's Hanyu, TXT's Beomgyu, Produce X 101 contestants Koo Jungmo, [37] Lee Taeseung[38] and Mahiro Hidaka,[39] and former Wanna One member Park Ji-hoon.[40]

Artistry

V is a baritone.[41][42] 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."[43] Tamar Herman from Billboard said that "with a wide range and a deep tone, V’s expressive vocals are a mainstay to BTS' sound."[44]
