since taehyung was about 5 years old, he always had a passion for art. but being from a not that well-off family, he wasn't able to take art lesson like the other kids. as taehyung grew up, technology became more advanced.

when taehyung was a first year in high school, he decided to join the photography club after seeing pictures taken by well known photographers in south korea. five photographers became taehyung's role modelsㅡnoh suntag, park hasisi, sung koo koo, less, kim in sookㅡall inspired taehyung to become a well-known photographer like them someday. to have his own form of art hung and displayed at his own art gallery.

throughout high school, taehyung's passion never died, it continued to grow as he began to better his skills, learning new techniques from seniors and teachers at his school.

but then, his family was indeed of more money. taehyung's family consisted with his father, mother, younger brother and younger sister. as his younger siblings was soon to enter secondary school, he had to find a way to make money to help support his family.

being in his last year of high school, it was a stressful part of his life. after school, he worked in order to help his family financially to take care of his siblings. not being able to find time, his passion for photography and creating his own art was put aside to become the head of his household.

knowing their son was so hard-working, taehyung's mother and father decided to use some money they put aside for the future to buy their son a dslr for his 18th birthday present. knowing that he's down to earth and put others before himself, they wanted him to start pursuing his dream of being a well-known photographer. on december 10th, 2013, on taehyung's 18th birthday, his parents gifted him his first dslr, the one he uses and cherishes till this day.

as exams rolled in, taehyung was giving his all into studying. as a result, taehyung attended seoul cyber university (scu) and korea art school. while juggling both work, school and his passion, taehyung was able to graduate, being the top of his class, and entered into the word force.

this leads where he is today, a full-time photographer in the city of seoul, taking pictures of models (esp. during fashion week), photoshoots, friends, landscapes, etcetera. typically getting photography gigs for fashion magazines like the star, elle, nylon, high cut, vogue, etcetera.
