During BTS‘ V‘s recent solo interview, he shares how his time in military service was for personal growth, revealing the books he read and his experience with them.
On April 19th, the K-Pop idol individual interview for Rolling Stone was released, where he talked about his solo career, military life, his experience working on the boys’ new album ‘ARIRANG,’ and much more.
Amid this talk, V was asked about his intention of resetting his mind and body, to which he answered, revealing that he works out and reads a lot, and when he was asked about what was the most important thing he read, he shared his first options and his experience with them.
He started saying, “I read a lot of novels of Keigo Higashino. There was also a book, ‘Eleven Steps’; it was kind of a philosophy book,” and continue sharing his experience reading that time, “I found myself putting myself into the text. Like imagining myself as a character in the novel, for example. I was so deep in my imagination at the time.”
The BTS member continued sharing that he received these recommendations from a friend, like Han Kang and Keigo Higashino books, and that was what he was really into.
“I asked my friend, ‘Hey, I want to read! Do you have any books to recommend?’ And they got so excited and recommended Han Kang’s and Keigo Higashino’s books. So that’s literally all I read… Was it helpful? I’m not sure.”
