Many ARMYs must have heard the story of how V is very close to his grandparents because he spent most of his time with them instead of his parents when he was young. There are a few reasons why V's parents had to live apart from their children, and his father revealed them in an interview.
When V's father shared this touching reason, fans couldn't help but feel emotional and sympathize with their parents' feelings. And it cannot be denied that even though they weren't always around V, his parents had a big, positive influence on his personality and career in many different ways.
Let's listen to V's sweet story about his family and childhood life below:
It cannot be denied that family is always a solid support for children to pursue their dreams. Obviously, through past stories, it can be seen that BTS would not have been successful without the support of their families. Of course, V is no exception.
Fans have long known the story that most of the time when he was young, V lived with his grandparents and younger siblings. He also had a close relationship with his grandparents and considered them as his second father and mother. Besides, some information said that V was born into a middle-clαѕѕ family in Daegu and his parents had to work hard to take care of the family.
But in fact, that was just a part of his long childhood and behind it was also a touching story about their family affection. In order for V to develop comprehensively mentally and especially materially, his parents had to trade off by working far away, not often being at home to take care of him. In an interview with кσяєαn media, V's father shared this story for the first time to the public.
He said that when V was young, they were forced to leave their children, including V, with their grandparents to focus on work. According to the article, V's mother is an executive at a bank in Daegu. Meanwhile, V's father is a small businessman and is often busy with his previous business. They hardly have much time at home with their children, so grandparents are the ones who can take care of and educate the children better.
V's parents also revealed that V and his siblings always listen to their grandparents and parents because they know that their parents have to earn money to support the family. Thanks to their grandparents taking them to school every day and taking care of their meals and sleep, V and his siblings grew up healthy, smart, and kind as they are now. Later, when V was recruited by Bł₲ Ⱨł₮, it was V's grandmother who informed V's parents to support his dream.
However, even though V's parents cannot be with him often, they still have ways to nurture and support his dream. V once shared that he received a lot of help from his parents during his trainee days. Once, they traveled thousands of kilometers in 12 hours just to see V for 30 minutes. They also brought a lot of bread and banana milk for V to share with the group members.
Not only that, at the most difficult times and when he almost wanted to give up his internship to return home, it was V's father who gave him advice to help him become stronger. Although they couldn't take care of V by being by his side every day when he was young, it was clear that his parents didn't let him lack anything from material things to love. That's why V always talks about his father as an ideal role model, a superhero.
Fans couldn't help but be moved when they learned the real story behind it:
- Taehyung's parents nor him don't need to brag about what they have or how rich and fine they're. They're supporting their son in the right way and keep their privacy SAFE at the same time. Whenever taehyung mention his parents it's basically to show his gratitude fr them and whenever we hear about his parents it's always about SUPPORT
- My respect to Taehyung's parents
- Woah this is new info for me. No wonder.. I mean poor family and saxophone clαѕѕ doesn't click much
- He was not rich but definitely not poor either It explains the confidence and pampered look despite being provincial
- He literally had taken saxophone clαѕѕes when he was a kid if that's not a sign. Smh
- He didn't stay for a while. Taehyung himself said he was raised by his grandmother for 14 years and also the story about the expensive red coat when he entered the dorms. I doubt his mom was an executive, tbh. They were probably an average middle clαѕѕ family.
- Taehyung is the most significant person. like his parents.
- taehyung is a good person, has lovely parents, and that's more than most have. stay happy and healthy taehyungie <3
