V stands for Victory
From the Merriam Webster dictionary: 2) achievement of, mastery or success in a struggle or endeavor against odds or difficulties.
Taehyung had 3 options when it came time to choose his stage name, and he chose V. He was named Taehyung by his Grandfather, meaning "all wishes come true, everything will be alright even if facing a difficult situation".
How could his Grandfather know that the name given to Tae at birth would also describe his chosen stage, when the time to choose came? Was it fate that V accompanied his friend to the auditions that day? He was the only one selected among everyone that auditioned. He started his career being victorious in a contest he didn't intend to compete.
Tae's path was never easy though. Not during trainee days and not after. As you may know, BTS was originally debuted as a group that focuses only on hip-hop, forcing the members into a mould, to present themselves a certain way. Tae's quirky personality though, may have often seemed out of place where hip-hop is concerned. Especially at BTS' early TV show appearances. From being mocked by hosts and "fans" alike, to becoming the most ridiculed member for his appearance in American Hustle Life, V has had to face it all.
Don't get us wrong, people with similar personalities, as Tae's, are some of the most adored celebrities, in South Korea. But, the "strictly hip-hop" image, BTS, were trying to present in the beginning of their careers, was what made Tae look so out of place. It wasn't until BTS started meddling with other genres and sounds, that people started understanding Tae better. He is a soul with a kaleidoscope of beautiful spectrums.
Although he is capturing everyone's hearts nowadays, this is a knife with two edges all on its own. He is no stranger to prejudice and mockery, to people's obsessive behaviour and ignorance. He has been on both sides of the spectrum. From being disliked because he was misunderstood to being liked too much.
Yet, Tae has never been anything other than himself. From his debut days, until now, V has grown, from a playful quirky boy, into a mature man, with the tender soul of a child. His talents and passions have shone through the shade of prejudice. V, has conquered all challenges. From developing his vocal skills, to learning how to play various instruments. Tae composes his own music and then produces the videos. We witness his ever evolving dancing skills. He fulfilled a life goal, by staring in the historical drama, HWARANG.
Most recently, V has been nurturing his passion for photography and painting.
Within every artistic medium, he shows us his true self. A person that's VICTORIUS!!!
"If you are concerned about something, tell [someone] anytime and let [your troubles] out~ If you keep it to yourself, it will become an illness."

Park Jimin describes himself as, " cutie, sexy, lovely". He says this with all the confidence of a man that knows and loves who he has become. But, this self confidence is the result of a hard fought battle within himself.
We will speak of Jimin today, as to how he's grown from someone, who was battered by the pressures of an idol, to a stronger member of BTS. His personal struggle speaks directly to our message all week.
Loving himself became vital for our Chimmy to learn. The ways he's blossomed since he has taken this path are powerful to see.
Most people that have seen Bangtan's debut, are aware that Jimin took center stage. But not everyone knows that he took on the challenge of showing his abs. All seven menbers were requested to do so, but couldn't get it together. This was a hard thing for a very private young man to do. He was embarrassed to be showing his stomach. But, he diligently took on the task of bringing attention to BTS, right away. Anyone that has watched their debut video, can see the results of his dedication and very hard work. Since he'd been a trainee less than a year, and was questionable to debut right to the end, the pressure to achieve this task, was tough on him.
Fast forward a year or so, and Jimin still has an amazing build, but the baby fat has yet to fade from the youngster's face. This bothers him because there are comments of him being "fat". Also, since he was the shortest, his height begins to become a constant joke among the members. This translates, naturally, to fandom too. But, what is cute teasing from friends and fans, becomes fodder for those interested in making him feel bad. And use it, they do. To the point that he feels so badly about his appearance, he begins a drastic diet, that he stayed on for a year. As in all else, he's very diligent in this as well, to the point of making himself sick. The members take notice and become concerned that his self- esteem is not recovering from the attack from the nonsensical haters.
Luckily, there were, and are, six brothers with him, to repeatedly let him know that he is, in fact, enough. Weird enough to see, in the industry they're in. But, he still needed to be able to love himself. Thankfully, the catharsis came to him. He hasn't revealed that particular process, but he did tell us that army helped him realize how he really is loved by us all.
The transformation has been simply breathtaking. Jimin's stage presence is powerful. His dancing is still brilliant, as always. We can see the happiness in his eyes, and the love shining out from him, back to ARMY and his Bangtan family.
Whatever he's done, we support it. And honestly wouldn't mind learning the secret *wink, wink*.
Jimin you beyond nice! Keep going!!
