Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, debuted at the age of 17, and his transition from boyhood to manhood has been under the public eye.

As the most popular visual in K-pop, Taehyung's appearance is often a popular topic on Korean forums. On the online portal Nate Pann, a trending post with over 70,000 views discussed the changes to Taehyung's facial features over the past nine years, as he matured and grew into a man.

"In the early days of debut, V had a hard time handling his facial features."

"V’s chin was really short and his face really small. 

Baby Taehyung used to have a big nose, big eyes, and a big mouth. 

His features were so large compared to his face (when he was young) that it seemed difficult to contain them.
As he grew up, he was able to naturally digest his features after the skeleton of his face was completed. 

Anyway, both are paradise."

Some of the comments include: 

1. That face, and gentle personality are both legends.

2. At first, I thought he was a middle schooler because he was too much of a baby.

3. One of the reasons why Bangtan is still popular is because his charms are so diverse that I don’t get tired of them.

4. V has really grown up so well, I actually like him even more right now.

5. All black suits him so well.

6. It seems that the V gene should be frozen and cloned when human cloning is possible in the future.

7. He’s still cute and getting handsome every day.

8. He grew up so well.
