A Korean netizen recently shared a heartwarming story about BTS member V, also known as Kim Taehyung, and his mother. The post, which gained significant attention on social media, recounts a conversation the netizen had with Taehyung’s mother several years ago. At the time, BTS was preparing to enter the US market and was already popular in Korea. The netizen, who was not familiar with the group or its members, was struck by the story Taehyung’s mother shared about her son’s childhood.

According to the post, Taehyung’s mother recalled that her son would often arrive late to elementary school because he would stop to observe flowers, ants, and other small details on the way. Instead of scolding him, she asked the school to accommodate his nature and allow him to arrive late as long as he eventually made it to class. The netizen found both Taehyung and his mother remarkable, noting that such an approach to parenting was not easy.

The story has sparked a wave of appreciation from fans, who have praised Taehyung’s gentle and loving nature. Many have attributed his personality to the way he was raised, with his mother’s supportive approach playing a significant role in shaping him into a considerate adult. Fans have also remarked on Taehyung’s sensitivity and perceptive nature as a child, noting that his parents understood his needs and allowed him to grow at his own pace.

In related news, Taehyung recently shared his 2025 Spotify Wrapped results, which showed that he listened to 4,611 songs and 27,729 minutes of music throughout the year. He was also recognized as Male Artiste of the Year at the Jupiter Music Awards and ranked fifth on Forbes Korea’s Korean Idols of the Year list. BTS is preparing for a spring 2026 return, with plans for their first group album in almost six years and a world tour to follow. The group’s upcoming activities are highly anticipated, and fans are eager to see what the future holds for Taehyung and the rest of the members.
