On January 31, Indonesia-based investment company SimInvest released an interview featuring BTS’ V, also known as Kim Taehyung. During the interview, Taehyung shared a valuable lesson he inherited from his father, citing the phrase "Geumushirako." As a common saying in the Gyeongsang-do dialect, it roughly translates to "It’s no big deal."
The idol shared,
"Since my father is from Gyeongsang-do, so he often said, "Geumushirako”. Whenever he faced difficulties, he always told himself, "It’s no big deal," and that helped him move forward. I think I inherited that mindset from him. Whenever things are tough, I tell myself, "It’s nothing," and I keep going."

Taehyung's father's words of wisdom have inspired BTS for years
This is not the first time V has used the phrase "Geumushirako." BTS' V, also known as Kim Taehyung, has often shared the life philosophy he inherited from his father. The phrase "Geumushirako," which means "It’s no big deal," has been a guiding principle for him.
This wisdom not only shaped Taehyung’s mindset but has also been shared with BTS members and ARMYs over the years. Back in 2018, during Run BTS! episode 56, V dedicated a heartfelt poem titled "Geumushirako" to his fellow members.
In it, he reassured them that the small mistakes and worries they carried were not as big as they seemed. A translation of Because it’s not a big deal or So what? by Kim Taehyung reads,
"Seokjin, don't be sad when you mess up the choreography. So What? You can be better next time. / Namjoon, don't be embarrassed after blowing kisses. So What? ARMYs die for those kisses."
The poem then referred to his other group mates Min Yoongi and Jung Hoseok and read,
"Yoongi, I know you want to be born as a rock in your next life-- don't worry. So What? I will carry you around to all the beautiful places. / Hoseok, don't make scary faces when we mess up the choreography. So What? Even wise men make mistakes. Please forgive us with your warm smile."
V then addressed Jimin and Jungkook and said,
"Jimin, don't stress about that day you made mistakes on stage because of your weight loss. So What? It won't change the fact that you're the most stunning person on stage. / Jungkook, don't bully us and don't work out to bully us even more. So What? Maknaes are supposed to be cute. Your muscles aren't."
Taehyung revisited this phrase in 2021 during an interview on You Quiz on the Block. When discussing their trainee days, RM revealed that one piece of advice from Taehyung’s father became a shared motto for the group.
"Among what Taehyung's father has told us, there was one line that we all remembered as a slogan," RM said.
Taehyung then elaborated on how "Geumushirako" helped them through difficult moments.
"If there's something tough, "geu-meu-si-ra-ggo". You can just rise from it again. When you are struggling,"Geu-meu-si-ra-ggo", you can just move on. Like these examples, it helps to navigate."
V and other BTS members SUGA, RM, Jimin, and Jungkook are expected to finish their required military service by June 2025.
