BTS Member V Reveals Coldplay Called Him the Second Chris Martin

V, Jungkook, Jin, J-Hope, RM, Suga, and JIMIN are Vogue Korea’s newest cover stars, and BTS member V is reflecting on his career and working with Coldplay on ‘My Universe.’

V received an amazing compliment from Coldplay and told the magazine, “It doesn’t appear in the video, but actually, when the vocal guide demo came out in English, I sang it from beginning to end. The Coldplay members listened and complimented me, saying I was like the second Chris Martin. I’ve listened to that recording a lot since!”

V also reflected on being a part of BTS and how being in the spotlight fulfilled his childhood wishes, “Since I was in elementary school, I dreamed of becoming a singer, but nobody took me seriously. Everyone just said, ‘Get real.’ BTS made my dream come true. Some say that you should keep your first love as a hobby, and not turn it into your job. But I disagree, because I do what I love professionally. … When I feel it’s not good enough, I’m able to devote more time to practicing, and this helps me develop and improve. Also, the fact that people seem to like what I do makes it very satisfying and meaningful to me.”

Throughout 2021, BTS earned a Grammy nomination, broke a handful of Guinness World Records, and landed three No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Following their upcoming scheduled appearances, BTS have decided to take an ‘extended period of rest,’ according to their record label, Big Hit.

“This period of rest will provide the members of BTS who have tirelessly committed themselves to their activities, a chance to get re-inspired and recharge with creative energy. It will also be the first time for them since their debut to spend the holiday season with their families. We kindly ask once again that you show consideration for their need to enjoy ordinary and free, everyday lives while solely concentrating on themselves, albeit for a short while, during their period of rest,” reads a statement.
