From a farmer's son to Asia's heartthrob
It has been a long journey for the BTS member, knowing that he originated in one of the provinces of South Korea. Being a farmer's child to a matinee idol is a huge plot twist. It must have been one of his foundations in achieving his career goals.
While he is hailed as the most-loved heartthrob, it was not harvested overnight. The boy group where he belongs has succumbed to multitudes of scandals, rumors, and hate. It was noted that there were a lot of discriminations when they first step into the K-pop scene. The boys were once quoted as "girls" for wearing make-up.
However, when the storms hit, a colorful array of sunshine came out. Pre-dominantly, their stardom is tremendous, thanks to their ARMYs who purple them. Their sensation is endless, and V is one of those who usually dominates the online scenes and is one of the most talked-about K-pop icons to date.
Gathering more than half a million online votes took BTS V to become the number 1 among 100 Asian Heartrobs 2020 of Starmometer. It is indeed a massive recognition for his co-members Jin, Jungkook, and Jimin as well.
Congratulations, Bangtan Boys!
