A miraculous story about the process of BTS (BTS) V being selected as a trainee has been revealed.
Japan's Oricon News interviewed producer Kim Mi-jung, who was in charge of casting in Big Hit Music, about the process of selecting V.
Producer Kim Mi-jung said in an interview that finding V was a "miracle encounter," and that he felt "Oh, this is him" at the moment he saw him for the first time. He said, "I've seen so many trainees, but it was also V who had a shivering experience that gave me goosebumps as soon as I met him," adding that V was the most impressive of the numerous applicants.
Producer Kim searched for a week in Daegu while traveling around the countryside when he was a newbie, but failed to find a suitable person. I entered an old academy that I came across while I was tired and had my last hope, and I was told at the scene that "there are old people here and no young people." But he didn't give up and told the academy staff, "I asked them to show me a picture of the event, and when I checked the picture, there was only one picture that stood out, and that was V," he recalled.

Producer Kim explained, "There are many conditions for an actual audition, but V was not dancing, but just a picture with a smile on his face." He said he offered V an audition opportunity with just one photo. He also said, "I actually thought, 'Oh, this kid' the moment V walked in," and called V a "really good kid." "He is a child with a warm personality from the bottom of his heart."
Producer Kim Mi-jung, who discovered BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER members, is an expert who has been involved in discovering, fostering, marketing, creative, and world view design for 16 years. Hive used V's charm as the last impact with momentum to announce the completion of the BTS team.
Shortly after his debut, V contributed to the group's popularity by attracting attention with orange hair on BTS related search terms. In a July 2015 interview with KBS WORLD, when the host asked the most popular member, leader RM replied that V is popular for Worldwide. V has since established himself as a global superstar and is still growing into an icon beyond K-pop in his 13th year since debut.
