On December 30th, BTS member V celebrates another year of life with his beloved bandmates and fans (ARMY). His international supporters continue to show their love with grand gestures like a birthday ad on the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (courtesy of China Baidu V Bar) and helping him rank high on the “100 Most Handsome Faces of Kpop” list. He even became the first Korean artist to score 3 number one hits on Soundcloud’s global chart.

Throughout the year, V and his band continues to top the Billboard charts, earn awards and was honored with a Grammy nomination. Let’s celebrate this global star’s 25th birthday by reliving a BTS interview during their debut year to marvel at how far V and the guys have come while acknowledging the bright future ahead.

Happy Birthday!
