BTS’s V is termed as an idol who broke out of the “position titles in K-pop” and made a name for himself with his multi-talents.


It is a widely known fact that almost every K-pop group has designated positions for its members. The global superstars BTS is also one of the hundreds that follow the decades-old rule. However, they are one of the rare bands in which the lines are often blurred due to the substantial amount of talent every member showcases in various aspects of their career. In particular, member V is consistently recognized as an idol who has leaped out of the “position titles” and made a name for himself with his extraordinary skills and popularity.

V who debuted as a sub-vocalist and a visual member is today, in every sense, one of the most acclaimed members of the group. His journey has been nothing short of inspiring, commendable and groundbreaking.


From a sub-vocalist to being recognized as a vital aspect of BTS’s musicality.

Although V is a baritone and the majority of the groups’ music is written for tenors, and out of his comfort range, V has continuously showcased such awe-inspiring vocal performances that music critics worldwide have named him an integral part of the bands’ musicality.

Renowned music critic Kim Young Dae wrote in one of his reviews, “BTS’s charm is not being remembered for a specific voice, but there is something extraordinary about V’s voice (...) His gifted vocal color and tone in itself have an important place in BTS’s musical identity.”  Karen Ruffini of Elite Daily also highlighted the power of his voice and said, “V has no problem producing super soothing, low tones that are a key element in the overall sound for BTS.”

Aside from being the critics’ favorite, V has also proven his capabilities as a vocalist throughout the group’s discography and his solo endeavors. “Singularity” being their most critically acclaimed intro and “Sweet Night” creating history in the global music scene is such fine examples of how he has honed his skills and crafts to mastery.


From a non-dance line member to being crowned as the “King of Fancams” and “Idol of Idols”

Since his debut, V has been one of their most-talked-about and highlighted performers.

The Korean media even termed him as the “King of Fancams” due to the overwhelming amount of views he garners for every performance. It is highly noteworthy that V holds the record for the most-watched, most-liked, and most-commented fancam in K-pop history. The media also address him as the “Idol of Idols” and “Gesture Textbook for Idols” as rookies frequently note him as the performer they aspire to be like.

However, he was only officially and deservingly recognized as a member of the dance line in 2018.


From one of the visuals of the group to being named the Face of K-pop.

In earlier days of BTS’s career, V was nicknamed CGV due to his striking visuals that left fans and even non-fans questioning, “Is he even real?” Throughout his career, V has won numerous visual titles, oftentimes being the only Korean and Asian to be named in these prestigious rankings by the experts. These wins ultimately led to him being crowned as the “Visual Representative for K-pop.”

V is also listed in the Urban Dictionary as the “Face of K-pop” and is noted by various media and fashion powerhouses as the “Style Icon of Asia.”


Aside from beautifully breaking out of the often stereotyped “position titles, ” V has also proven to be an exemplary idol who continues to achieve massive success, love, and popularity as a member of the group and as a soloist as well. He has created a name for himself with an array of spectacular, remarkable, and jaw-dropping talents, leaving an ever-lasting mark in the history of K-pop.

Taehyung is the reason why I met BTS. Taehyung is the one who attracts majority of Army. At first, I was shocked when I found out he isn't the center, the leader, and the official visula. Becaise when I first listen to bts my eyes is so focus on him and I always heard about him anywhere. Everytime people around me talked bts they always talk about V. V is amazing! V is a legend
