BTS‘s V started his journey as an idol in quite an amusing way. Like most idols that are his contemporaries, he became a trainee while he was still a young student. But unlike most of those idols, V originally had no plans to audition for the job. During an interview with Jimmy Fallon in 2022, the singer revealed that he was at the BIGHIT Music open audition to support his friend, but he caught the staff’s eyes, and the rest is history.
It turns out, what apparently happened after this incident, was equally amusing and heartwarming at the same time. A fan, who claims to be a student of V’s school teacher from Daegu, recently shared some stories of the singer’s student days, as supposedly told by the teacher.
Our school is in the same foundation as Taehyung’s high school in Daegu, and my Korean history teacher used to be his teacher and told us some stories.ᐟ.ᐟ His seat would usually be next to the window at the end, and one time he went to an amusement park and danced solo on the + https://t.co/2nefwv02qf

According to the OP(original poster), V was a pure-hearted and innocent kid. So, when he passed the audition and shared the news at his school, his teachers were worried that he might have gotten scammed. To save their student from any potential harm, all his teachers apparently gathered in the office and researched Bang Si Hyuk and BIGHIT Music extensively. Once they were convinced that both of them were legitimate, they allowed V to join the company as a trainee.
and because he was an innocent kid from Geochang, the teachers were worried that he might be getting scammed so they gathered in the teachers’ office and did a lot of research on who Bang Sihyuk and BigHit were, and they told him he could go once they saw it was legit…ᐟ.ᐟ +

After joining BIGHIT Music, V actually didn’t shift to Seoul right away. There was a period when he would go back and forth between Seoul and Daegu before permanently transferring to a school in Seoul. Even after moving to the new city, he visited his school pretty often, greeting his teachers and enthusiastically showing his posters to his friends!
V’s innocent nature had won him many close friends in the school, and he would frequently share his new life’s excitements with them.

According to OP, the teacher described V as a very gentle kid with a warm and friendly personality. It seems he has retained that part of him even after experiencing the peak of success and fame in his career!
