Kapanlagi.com - V BTS is once again a hot topic among fans, after Korean media Star News released some latest facts about him in the acting world. This K-Pop idol has not been involved in acting for quite some time since his first and last Korean drama, Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth.

Although V BTS and HYBE agency (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) have not made any official statements about K-Pop idol Kim Taehyung's acting plans, some interesting facts revealed by entertainment industry observers in Korea make fans miss V BTS's comeback in the acting field even more.

According to Star News, V BTS apparently received a flood of phone calls from Korean drama directors. Many famous production houses contacted him and offered him acting opportunities. However, as of the time of writing this, HYBE has not given any official response to the public or V BTS fans.

2. Sky-High Payment

Even though V BTS last acted 5 years ago, with his current popularity, it is reported that his payment can reach 200 million Won or about 2.5 billion Rupiah per episode (based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2021).

This amount is nearly half of the payment for the highest-paid actor in Korea at the moment, Kim Soo Hyun, who is paid around 500 million Won or about 6.4 billion per episode.

For comparison, Kim Soo Hyun received that payment after 14 years since his debut in the acting world, starting from 2007 as a supporting actor in the drama Kimchi Cheese Smile.

3. Highly Anticipated Rookie Actor

The Korean entertainment industry even revealed that if V BTS decides to return to the world of acting, he can guarantee a large number of viewers.

4. Official Agency Statement Remains Unchanged

Unfortunately, according to the latest official statement from V BTS's agency, the BTS members will not engage in solo or personal activities as they want to focus on their group as musicians.

This statement has not changed even after Big Hit Entertainment changed its name to HYBE. Despite several production houses offering acting roles to V BTS, it has been difficult to reach an agreement due to BTS's busy schedule.

5. V BTS Interested in Playing Antagonist Characters

On a different occasion, specifically the ARMY ZIP Interview in 2019, V BTS expressed to fans that he wants to play an antagonist character in a film. A character that can manipulate the protagonist, like Joker played by Heath Ledger.
