00:00this is the story of why kim taehyung the person was cast not v the superstar to get why casting
00:06v was such a galaxy brain move you have to understand the character he was hired to play
00:12hansung hansung wasn't a main character but he was the emotional heart of the group
00:17for his story to land the audience had to believe in his innocence 100 it couldn't feel like an act
00:23in acting playing innocent is a trap if it's not completely authentic it just comes off as cheesy
00:29or fake a trained actor could play innocent but the director was looking for someone who was
00:34innocent the story of how v actually got the part is the kind of thing you hear in hollywood legends
00:40it wasn't a bunch of stressful auditions or a calculated move from his company
00:44according to director yoon seong seek it was basically love at first sight after struggling
00:51to find the right person for hansung the director decided to look somewhere new just so happened
00:57that his own daughter was a bts fan which put the group on his radar he saw a photo of
01:01v and struck
01:02by his bright and handsome face decided to set up a meeting at the warung press conference the
01:07director told the story himself we needed someone with an innocent and bright persona he explained
01:14i fell for him at first sight at the first meeting he looked so cute and was so playful this
01:19wasn't
01:19about judging his acting skills it was a gut reaction to who kim taehyung was as a person what the
01:25director saw wasn't a performance it was a personality v's natural charm and his quirky sweet vibe were
01:31the exact untainted innocence he had imagined for hansung he saw a great sensitivity in v even if the
01:38technical skills weren't there yet it was a gamble anyone who was a fan of bts back then knows exactly
01:44what he was talking about
01:45you
