Celebrate V of BTS’s Birthday With These 10 Songs
Today (December 30th) marks the birthday of V, one of the multi-hyphenate members of BTS. V, born Kim Taehyung, has spent the last eight and a half years working as a songwriter, dancer, and vocalist, and has become beloved for his rich baritone and artsy, quirky offstage persona alike. Bangtan birthdays are funny because they remind us that no one loves BTS like the members of BTS love each other, but we can do our best to add to the celebration anyway. We’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite songs spotlighting V (in no particular order), and would press them all into a vinyl record in his honor if we could.

BRUCE DICKINSON: ‘IRON MAIDEN Fans Are A Little Bit Like Plywood; We Get A New Layer Every Year’
In a recent interview with “Anders Bøtters Tiny TV”, Bruce Dickinson spoke about IRON MAIDEN‘s reputation as having the most loyal and dedicated fans of any band working today. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I can’t speak for every individual IRON MAIDEN fan, obviously, and I can’t imagine what each of them is individually thinking and what kind of nuance they get out of what we do. ‘Cause I think people get different things out of different parts of what we do.
