After this, Te Hyun decides to stop taking lessons, but still continues to be interested in creativity and is looking for a suitable direction in art.
“The thought of becoming a singer first occurred to me when I was in primary school. I have never had stage fright and I enjoy dancing on stage,” says V.

After a number of auditions, he receives an invitation to the recording production company Big Hit Entertainment, where he becomes a trainee (intern).

Personal life
The personal life of all members of the BTS group is under the constant attention of a multi-million army of fans. Every appearance of guys with girls immediately causes a wave of discussions and assumptions. It is known that the contracts of all BTS members contain a clause according to which they cannot have any love affairs to the detriment of creative activity. Therefore, Kim Tae Hyun officially does not have a girlfriend now.
Kim Tae Hyun and his ex-girlfriend Irene
However, according to rumors, V was once dating Red Velvet girl group member Irene. Later there was active talk that his girlfriend was Joy from the same group. In 2020, there were many photos of them together with hugs, which gave fans a reason to think about the mutual sympathy of the artists. Later, information appeared about a ban on V publicly showing his feelings.
Fans continue to come up with tall tales about the life of their idol. Fan fiction has appeared in which Kim Tae Hyun is in a relationship with his colleague Min Yoongi. This version is one of the most popular. However, ficwriters attribute V’s relationships with other members of the group. In fact, Kim Tae Hyun and Min Yoongi are connected by their hometown Daegu, from where they came to Seoul.

V is considered the main fashionista of the group. It is also called visual - the singer attaches importance to his appearance. Always stylishly dressed and made up. Frequently changes hair color. Fans counted how many times Kim Tae Hyun's stage image transformed. It was brown, gray, orange, green, pink, red.
In January 2020, at a concert in Japan, the group again surprised fans with a new hair color. This time V appeared on stage with blue hair. On Twitter and Instagram, the group’s official pages immediately began discussing the idol’s new image. V did not receive a single negative review, which cannot be said about his colleagues.

Kim Tae Hyun, despite his wild popularity, shows his fans without makeup and tired.
The singer's height is 178 cm, weight is 63 kg.
Relationships in personal life
Kim Hyun is lonely and does not have a girlfriend. And, probably, his loneliness will last until his contract with the production company ends. The fact is that Korean producers strictly control the personal lives of their clients, prohibiting them from starting relationships, as this negatively affects their popularity, interferes with their work, and reduces the number of fans.

But even if the producers had not been so strict, it is unlikely that Hen would have been able to start a serious relationship. The young singer devotes almost all his time to work, which consists not only of concert activities and recording songs, but also of participation in numerous entertainment shows and filming. Kim was even forced to part with his beloved dog named Yeontan and gave him to his parents because he could not care for him due to lack of time.
Like many Korean handsome men, Kim regularly becomes a victim of attacks from haters. He is credited with bisexual and homosexual tendencies. There are even rumors that allegedly Kim is not interested in Korean girls, but is looking for a girlfriend from Russia. One day, haters posted a video on the Internet where Tae Hyun kissed Jeon Jungkook, but the guys themselves insisted that there was only friendship between them.
Kim Tae Hyun steadfastly endures the attacks of ill-wishers. He believes that he will certainly meet his soul mate. His ideal is a bright, fashionable, well-groomed girl with a gentle and optimistic character. The color of hair and eyes does not matter, but it is desirable that the chosen one be slender and long-legged, with long hair.
