V tagged along with his friend to a BigHit audition in the past, but V had no intentions of auditioning himself and only went to support his friend. However, someone from the agency asked V if he wanted to audition on the spot, and V did.

A few weeks went by, and when V was at a gaming cafe, he received a call. It was BigHit, and they told him that he passed the audition! Not only did V pass, but he was the only person from Daegu (V’s hometown) who passed!

V then excitedly went home and told his grandmother he passed the audition. V’s grandmother, however, was a bit skeptical and thought that V was getting scammed!

V’s grandmother’s words put some doubt into V, and he started thinking that he was getting scammed.

V’s father also thought that V was getting scammed. V’s father hilariously told V that he was skeptical since he thought 2AM should have been in JYP Entertainment and not BigHit!

BigHit had to call V’s father to let him know that they were a real company!

V’s family soon were convinced that BigHit was a real company, and V and his father went to the company to sign his contract. However, V and his father got scammed by the taxi driver! While this was upsetting in the past, V and his father now laugh when looking back on this. V eventually signed the contract, and the rest is history!
