BACKGROUND:

Kim Taehyung grew up with two younger siblings, a sister named Kim Eon Jin, and a brother named Kim Jeong Gyu.

Kim Taehyung grew up in Daegu on a farm, where his family made little money and it was hard to get by. He never thought he would become famous. It was first thought that he would become a farmer.

Taehyung's childhood dream was to pursue music, so his father urged him to play the saxophone in high school. He played it for three years.

He went to Big Hit Entertainment auditions to support his friend, but someone from the rookie development team saw him and suggested that he auditioned. Taehyung called his father and got permission, and then the auditioned there that day. Kim Taehyung was the only one to make it through in the auditions.

Taehyung was hidden by Big Hit for two years until their debut.
