when starting off as a photographer, it's hard to have your own unique voice and your unique art to show to the world. if you're not well-known and others see your photography mimics others, they'll accuse you for plagiarism.

being a rookie photographer in such a competitive realm was tough for taehyung. but thankfully, one of his seniors from photography club gave him a connection at the star magazine. nervous with what the future has in store for himself in the future, taehyung held his head high and worked hard under the photographerㅡbae doonaㅡactress and photographer.

one day, as taehyung was ms. bae's assistant for a shoot, the male model wasn't able to make it. thus making the shoot fall behind schedule. knowing that taehyung was a hard-working person, ms. bae suggested to the crew that taehyung was to model for that month's cover for the magazine 'the star'.

nervous on his first photoshoot, taehyung was hesitant. but with the help and guidance of ms. bae, he was able to shoot smoothly. on march 2015, taehyung was now breaking the internet with his cover shoot. this mysterious person on the cover who was photographed by the famous bae doona had everyone curious on who this mystery person was.

breaking into the modeling industry, photos and news articles spreading like wild fire. the ceo of taehyung's company called him in after all this fame from the editorial. the ceo gave taehyung an opportunity to become a model for magazines and the runway.

but of course, taehyung wanted to pursue his dream of being a well-known photographer. politely declining his ceo's offer, he started to receive business emails of magazine editors and photographers wanting to do photoshoots and interviews.

giving it a lot of thought and having talks with his parents via skype, he decided to accept these offers. living alone in the city was tough and making a living in the photography industry was even tougher. as taehyung's life is just barely blooming, he hopes that he can juggle both photography and modeling. just a daegu boy dreaming big, wanting to give his two cents into these tough industries.
