▸ ▸ ▸ WHO AM I.

• • • maybe he’s a little too excited to talk to the camera. it didn’t help that just before he recorded this video, he had the brown sugar milk black tea from gong cha at 100% sweetness. so he was basically close to getting a sugar rush. regardless, he puts on his best “i’m being recorded” aura as his friend stands behind the camera and records. “hello! my name is kim taehyung. i’m twenty one years old, born in vietnam, and a capricorn sun, taurus moon, pisces rising. it’s very nice to meet you!” he bows his head to the camera before flashing his usual box smile. “let’s get along!”

▸ ▸ ▸ WHY AM I HERE.

• • • “what’s my goal?” he repeats the question. he hums as he thinks about it carefully. “well, i’m gonna graduate from k-arts next year, so i want to be able to survive this year. that’s for sure!” he giggles. “i also want to make my mom proud. she’s basically been my hero since i was born. i’m an actor, but i’m also super into rapping. so i hope i can be able to release my own stuff one day because i really want people to see how super cool and talented i am.” he tries to think more about what he would want to achieve in the future. “oh! i also hope to be more handsome than i was yesterday today and be more handsome tomorrow than i am today.” he’s always got a unique way of speaking, but it’s still enough to make his friend facepalm at the introduction.
