[A Thread on Lesser Known Taehyung things]

-ive wanted to do this for awhile as a thanks to everyone that liked the intiial thread and give something positive and happy back to all of you that make ME smile so much. so heres an updated and revised tete thread💜
1. taehyung is actually quite shy, but people mistake extrovertedness with outgoingness. it's not. Intro/extroversion are the levels of stimulation whether from our environment/activies/ppl in which we need to feel satisfied. he's a social chameleon however and simply knows how+
to fill in the cracks of a given group or person. Note how at award shows, he can instantly tell when someones left out from other groups or needs assistance. Note how Namgi both acknowledge that pre-debut BTS NEEDED Tae as a center for their strong songs bc he was the only+
member that could have done it without appearing cringy. he has charisma that flows into whe He's a networking genius, but in reality separated from business//work/idol life, he's very soft spoken and relaxed and even a bit timid and bashful sometimes.
2. Taehyung trained in dance throughout highschool and had to walk to get there. His end goal was always to perform on stage as an actor. he performed in a school production in middle school and loved it and also did drag in highschool and loved that too.
3. Tae approached Jimin first in highschool because Jimin was sitting alone on his phone at the back of the class room. They didnt 'have' to be friends simply bc they were trainees, but they chose to and stuck together all these years.
4. Tae had a pet cat and posted several pics of them but we dont get many updates on his pets back in daegu anymore :(
5. taehyung was raised by his grandparents for 14+ years in Geochang
6. Taehyung knows how to sh00t g*uns, archery, and seemed to help out enough on his grandparents farm to know enough about plants and growth patterns. He knows random facts about poultry animals as well as froots ;(
7. Taehyung was born in Daegu, but lived in Geochang which is a tiny very farm-y town outside of Daegu but its so teeny and also regarded in a way that most Americans regard the deep south, that Tae switches between saying Daegu/Geochang bc people tend to know of Daegu first.
8. Taehyung falls asleep to classical music because it, "Makes him feel like a prince," however, this also has proven benefits to memory and brain activity.
9. Has a remarkably high IQ and problem solving skills. the biggest illusion people believe is that hes the Dumb Blonde. like most capricorns, he just doesnt feel a need to exert energy into things he doesnt find important.
when push comes to shove, Tae can win or solve things in seconds. if hes interested, hes interested, if not, then he doenst care if hes the butt of jokes for a game. That sums him up pretty well? He knows when and where to insert his energies and concerns, otherwise, he's chillen
10. People clown his saxophone playing, but please know that Taehyung is very goal oriented and to even CONSIDER auditioning for an ARTS school with music, it means he practiced his ass off. him playing it off as a joke is for entertainment, however if you pay attention to the +
2018 summer package, when jungkook asked why tae never mentioned his saxophone days, tae said its bc its not a good memory, and when prompted why, he responded because he didnt make it. its not something he likes to remember because he genuinely loves music and didnt make it.
That said, Taehyung has always been able to read sheet music and seems to have background in piano whether through classic training or not
11. Tae seems to have more background in English than most people think. his family seemed super interested in old western movies/media/singers, because as early as 2014, during games taehyung struggled to find the korean words for things like sports, yet he knew all+
the names, verbs, and media in English. Joon even told the members he wouldnt "know those words" in Korean but he would in English. This was in 2014! So to me, it just indicates that Kim family seems quite versed in and enjoy classic artists and movies from all over the world 🥺
12. Taehyung uses Aveeno for sensitive skin :(
13. Taehyung is very protective of his family's privacy and has only really mentioned his siblings a total of 3-ish times in all the content I've watched of him!
14. Taehyung has stated himself he has no stage freight and never has. I believe this 100%.
15. Taehyung often changes his disposition greatly around people to fit in, and this was sweetly pointed out by his Hwarang hyungs that he constantly wants to be as appealing as possible to others. He noticed his hyungs all were "manly" and crossed their legs a certain way, and +
as such tried to imitate them and talk lower too. Again-a social chameleon!
16. Taehyung being an aries moon makes his thought process incredibly scattered and fast paced, if you see him spacing out, he's thinking about a lot at once. He also finds it difficult to put all these thoughts into words--his chosen outlet is usually: performance/visual arts +
bc its easier for him to express himself in that manner than it is to put it into words.
17. Taehyung is the king of practicality like seriously this man would survive a zombie apocalypse (and not just cause he has a glock!) Even when speaking english, he's so logical? and people clown or coo over that one scenario where he called a menu a "honey menu" or said +
that the candy bar on the floor that he found "was away" like think about that really logically. He couldnt thnik of the word 'sweet' or 'dessert' so he remembered his mom calling him "honey bear" and knows honey means sweet. bam, honey menu. He didnt know the word for "shelf" +
or "Idk where it goes" so? "its away" away from its original position. How he casually solves rubiks cubes, how he knows pressure points/weight distribution in games, how he uses his own fingers to measure things bc he knows the length of his fingers. KING OF PRACTICAL THINKING.
18. When tae went off to be a trainee, his mama got him a nice northface jacket so the kids in Seoul wouldn’t pick on him bc he didn’t come from wealth, and in fact that north face prob cost his parents a lot of money :( +
when he got to Seoul the trend had already passed so he got made fun of anyway. He really understands the value of money and still has the first watch his dad ever gave him and constantly wears all the brackets given to him either by family or the members and even some fan gifts.
19. Tae loves Singing in the rain! He played and sang along to some of the shows songs in vlives two/three years ago!
20. He has stated that as a kid his mama and grandma made him strawberry and mango smoothies so he always feels happy when drinking those kinds of drinks 🥺🥺🥺🥺
21. Taehyung seems to have a dislike of shoes but in reality it’s likely due to the fact that he was raised on a farm and probably hardly wore shoes back then too. very much a play in the rain and mud kind of boy.
22. Tae is quick to fall in love or have crushes (as cutely pointed out by Yoongi during a photoshoot where tae was all Flustered and cute with hte photographer so yoon was like "u fell in love that fast? its been an hour??"😭😭
but tae is also one of the slowest in bangtan to trust anyone. The people he allows into his inner circle know he’s very reliable and ridiculously loyal. Taehyung is someone who feels things very intensely, as evident in how he performs. His genuine appreciation for life and
lack of ulterior motives makes him someone cleansing to know, as stated by Jimin.
23. Taehyung is not afraid to admit when he's wrong and he routinely asks for advice from everyone from his elders, people younger than him, literally anyone. He sincerely values insight from anyone that will offer it. As a capricorn he's very goal oriented and whatever it takes
to better himself? He'll take it with grace.
24. Taehyung is scarily aware of everything and everyone around him. He's the person that WILL say what everyones thinking but are too afraid to say it. It takes a lot to make him speak up for himself bc he’s a lax man, but for the members? He’d throw down
25. He HATES unfairness. When the hyungs were scolding JK about his speakers? Tae spoke up and looked quite pissed when he was brushed off. When Jin couldn’t attend his graduation? Tae called it out. Tae called out fans for liking bvs1 even tho joon wasn’t there for the end
of BVS1 and an army was like "that was my fave season!" tae immediately was like "??? how?? namjoon wasnt even there, it wasnt us seven." He's called out people posting disrespectful pics of the boys and hes been very outspoken about how idols should just be treated as regular
human beings. Tae is everyone’s greatest ally but scariest dude to be in a fight with. Bc he sees everything and remembers everything. But hes not about to let you know that until you step a little too far!
26. He’s a bit of a sore loser 😔 he likes to win-people often forget that he AND jungkook are the competitive bugs of bangtan!!!!!
27. He takes his dental care super seriously like the man has a fcking portable tooth brush cleaner.
28. Taehyung has a four octave range and so did Freddy Mercury. The genre and style of pop music and the range of many of BTSs discography isn’t suited to taes voice unless he uses his falsetto which is easy for him but still sounds darker in comparison to jinkookmins light
crisp tenors. That said, we haven’t heard .05 of Taehyungs vocal capabilities and yes we should all be terrified.
29. Taehyung is great at calculating years, measurements, and extremely high sums in math without using paperwork.
30. For the UNICEF campaign, tae personally spoke about his friends being bullied in high school and knowing so many kids nowadays are bullied-he also lit up like a light when Zach Sang brought up the campaign. It means a lot to him :”)
31. Taehyung is originally left handed and notably ambidextrous. This is actually strangely common due to the fact that almost 60-70% of left handed babies are taught to use their right hands anyway before they turn 8 during their earliest schooling. Though he tends to write+
w his right hand, he's retained ability in the left (which most lefties turned righties dont bc theyre not aware they were originally lefties) he can also write with both, throws and waves with his left, holds his mic in the left, but again, he's very comfortable with both hands.
32. Joon said that when Taehyung first came to the dorms, he arrived with his father and remembers his "wide eyes and big smile," and knew he was going to be a "rascal" 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
33. Hobi once said that if you get Taehyung talking about the past, he can talk for hours.
34. Taehyung's vlives are a testament to the kind of person he is outside of the idol world. Very calm, moves slowly, thinks carefully, happy to listen (read our comments), content to sit back and listen to music with a friend. +
He's a goof, but people really misinterpret him being able to take center stage and not take himself seriously for "loud." hes a very gentle person.
35. When Minjae surprised him with a cake for his birthday (celeb bromance) Tae stated that no one has ever given him a surprise party or birthday cake privately just because they wanted to.
36. He is ridiculously sarcastic and blunt for how the fandom makes him out to be.
37. Pretty known fact, but Taehyung is interested in opera and if he took that discipline seriously, he'd be unmatched as a vocalist. He seems to really enjoy Italian and German opera.🥺
38. He thought Hobi was the visual of bangtan upon first meeting him and has praised Hobi's looks since the beginning
39. Taehyung has many plans to travel with his family and wants to bring them to every location BTS have gone for Bon Voyage 🥺🥺💜💜💜
40. Taehyung has the memory of an elephant and remembers almost everyone he meets and choreography from 2013.
41. Taehyung said the hardest part of being a trainee was getting close to everyone and having to see the friends hes made of fellow trainees being sent home.
42. Taehyung often sends kisses and smiles up to the sky :")
43. Tae has said he doesn't believe in aliens, not bc he's opposed to thinking theres life outside of earth, but because the thought terrifies him too much.
44. He's not "unable" to handle liquor. he doesn't like bitter things, but Jimin pointed out that Tae actually really enjoys pineapple soju and wines and mentioned recently that he doesnt get bad hangovers
45. Taehyung has kept close ties with many fans by writing them back personally and always keeping up with his friends within the entertainment industry.
46. Tae is very free spirited and can come off carefree but Jungkook has pointed out on multiple occasions that he's hyper detail oriented, meticulous, and always asks before doing anything on camera if its okay to do and tests how it would look.
47. Taejoon have possibly watched Moonlight together which could haveinspired 4oclock. Joon also used to make playlists for Tae before school every day has said that he feels tae is his responsibility. 4oclock is an ode to the beautiful and trusting dynamic between the two.
