In a new interview, V (BTS) looks back at the current period when BTS is on a world tour "Arirang". The schedule continuously takes the group to many cities, but instead of letting work take him away, the male singer tries to find moments of silence amidst a tight schedule.
For BTS members, the stage is still where he feels most natural and comfortable. Live performances are not only an important part of the schedule, but also help V maintain the reason he pursued music from the early days.
At the age of 30, V of BTS has a different view of success. If at the time of BTS's debut, V once considered being on television a success, then after many years, this standard has changed. Success with him is now placed on the ability to continue doing what he loves, sharing music with the public and being remembered by the audience in a positive direction.
Changes in perspective also appeared in V's life. Entering the age of 30, the male singer does not feel that he has changed too much in personality or hobbies. The clearest difference is that the body needs more rest time after tight schedules.
Therefore, besides activities with BTS, he pays attention to slower things. The male singer started learning piano and wanted quiet trips. Reducing speed and enjoying normal days became part of V's way of balancing life after many years of high-intensity activities.
In "Arirang", BTS focuses on the identity and journey of the group. Each member brings their own color, creating a difference in music. V also takes on the role of balancing the atmosphere in the collective, when resting energy when necessary and creating more excitement when the group becomes too quiet.
Behind the image of a star who regularly appears in front of tens of thousands of viewers, V still maintains his attachment to family memories. The male singer grew up mostly with his grandparents during the time his parents were busy with work. In particular, the time with his grandmother left V with memories that he still cherishes when looking back at his childhood.
She used to be the one who prepared meals for V when he was young. The male singer rarely eats outside, because most meals take place at home. One of the first times he eats outside was when the family had a meal after the high school graduation ceremony. For V, those are simple but especially valuable memories, especially when his current life is always associated with continuous trips and schedules.
More than 10 years after debuting, V no longer focuses on achieving any more milestones. At the age of 30, his goal became clearer: to continue making music, maintaining his love for the stage and being remembered for the emotions that music brings.
