Eight years ago, V debuted as a member of BTS, and he has become someone that is admired and loved worldwide. 

Although V joined Big Hit entertainment in 2011, his face wouldn’t be revealed to the public until his first teaser photos came out three thousand days ago (June 2, 2013), just 11 days prior to BTS’s debut.

It wasn't easy for V to be "the hidden member." In his first vlog, he revealed how lonely and left out he felt during that time. 

"When all of the members were shooting for their own logs, I was the only one who couldn’t, so I was very sad. When the hyungs were shooting their logs in the studio, I would follow them and shoot my own but I couldn’t upload it. Shooting alone, I would say, ‘Today is this day of this month in 2013. I did this. This probably won’t get released, right? I’m sad.’'— V 

On the same day when the teaser pictures dropped, V tweeted for the first time ever on the BTS account as he wasn't allowed to interact with fans before.

In celebration of 3000 days since V's first tweet and first reveal as the final member of BTS, the tag 'I LOVE YOU 3000 TAEHYUNG' trended #2 worldwide. 

In a recent interview with ROLLING STONE, HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk explained that V was kept secret and lastly revealed to create momentum and make a tremendous impact as V had many charms.

"We needed momentum to announce that the team called BTS was finally complete. V had great charms in terms of appearance and personality, so I thought it would be impactful when he was revealed last. It was an effective strategy in forming the team’s overall image, as well as leaving an impression of each member."— Bang Si Hyuk

Today, V is one of the most recognizable people in the music and entertainment industry for being an all-rounder artist who excels in many areas, with a friendly personality and stunning visuals.
