20 Things You Didn't Know About BTS
9. V Who?
When the other members of BTS met V, they thought he was spoiled because he was wearing an expensive Gucci bomber jacket. It was only when they got to know him that they found out the story behind the jacket. As he didn't have much money growing up, his mother was afraid he might be bullied when he entered the Idol world. She saved up and bought the jacket for him to make sure the others would accept him.
It must have been a quick choice because, despite having played saxophone for three years, V didn't go to Big Hit Entertainment in order to audition. In fact, he only went to support a friend who was trying out for another band. Encouraged by staff and his friend to audition himself, he ended up earning a place in the band.
Despite having made such a big impression, Big Hit Entertainment's CEO Bang Si-hyuk admitted on an episode of Rookie King that he couldn't remember V's name for an entire year.
