Over the years, V can be an inspiration to countless people around the world because of his talent, success, personality and beauty. But like his fans, he also has his own inspirational role models.

In an interview, V once revealed about the artists who are his idols and the inspiration for his music. Here are 3 names of Western artists mentioned by V:

There are artists who seem to have reached the pinnacle of their career that many others desire, but in fact there are still many other heights that they want to conquer. That is a real artist. V is such an artist.

He seems to have had millions of admiration for what he has and what he does. But for V, he still has more ideals than himself and uses that as inspiration for his career.

In one program, V asked BTS to guess the names of the artists - “Which artist is my main inspiration?”.Through it, V also revealed his ideal type in the artistic path.

1. Kurt Cobain

This is the first character that Jimin guessed when answering a question from V. Kurt Cobain is known as a famous American singer-songwriter. With a style filled with discontent, depression and anti-traditional imagery, Cobain's songs help enrich the themes of popular rock music.

The late artist has also been called the "speaker" of Generation X and is considered one of the most influential musicians in alternative rock history.

Although the late singer was later revealed by V to be not the answer he was looking for, Kurt Cobain was actually his first inspiration when V was just starting out. V said that: “Kurt Cobain was my inspiration when I was a trainee“.

2. John Legend

Next, Jungkook gave another option that was singer-songwriter John Legend to answer the question of V. John Legend is a singer with works that are very popular with BTS. He has won 10 Grammy Awards, 1 Golden Globe and 1 Academy Award, and in 2007 Legend received a special Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Jungkook and V even covered John Legend's hit song "All Of Me". They also performed the song in their fan meeting in Japan.

But then V also confirmed that although John Legend was not the correct answer, he was also a great inspiration for V when he was a trainee.

3. Justin Bieber

Finally, after a series of answers, RM - who made the choice is Justin Bieber, correctly guessed V's heart. The answer to the person who inspires V the most at the moment is none other than himself. Canadian singer Justin Bieber.

Bieber is famous for his ability to combine a variety of music genres and is an artist who plays an important role in today's popular music scene. Justin Bieber is also one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of more than 150 million records worldwide.

To explain his answer, RM guessed that V was inspired by Justin Bieber's hit songs: “Is it because…his recent songs are great?”. Really, putting aside the noise of Justin Bieber's private life, his music is really something worth learning for V.

V also enthusiastically agreed and he even chose the song “Holy” as one of his favorite songs.
