'''Eduardo JV Arancillo Kapunan III''' (born July 23, 1990), known by his stage name '''Young JV''', is a Filipino hip-hop recording artist, actor, and basketball player. He became famous for his first single in 2009, "That Girl" which was composed by himself. He produced his first album, ''Ready or Not'' under [PolyEast Records](/source/PolyEast_Records) and Doin' It Big Production. He performs on the variety show ''[ASAP](/source/ASAP_(variety_show))'' and is a member of an all-male group, A-pop, which is composed of JV himself, [Sam Concepcion](/source/Sam_Concepcion), Nel Gomez and Jaco Benin.

==Career==
He first appeared in ''ASAP 09'' in the D-Lite segment where he performed with [Nikki Gil](/source/Nikki_Gil), [Toni Gonzaga](/source/Toni_Gonzaga) and [Karylle](/source/Karylle). Weeks after that episode, he had a duet with [Sarah Geronimo](/source/Sarah_Geronimo) singing his first single, "That Girl". The song had massive radio airplay. The music video was also premiered on Myx. The video for "Don't Know You" is directed by Treb Monteras III. His first album highlighted random songs from a night life of partying to inspirational stories based from his dad's experiences as a soldier.
In 2010, he promoted another single, "Shake Shake" which was the official song used for the said competition. The music video was shot in a bar where a party theme was emphasized.
In 2011, "Kaibigan Lang" was the last single released from his first album where they shot the video at ESA (the school where he studied in college) together with Myx VJ 2011 finalist, Cara Eriguel and celebrity appearances from [Gabriel Valenciano](/source/Gabriel_Valenciano) and [Arron Villaflor](/source/Arron_Villaflor).[{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkSnHy__2JY |title=Kaibigan Lang (Remix) – Young JV |publisher=YouTube |access-date=2013-04-29}}] In the same year, he released his new single, "Alay" from his second album where he collaborated with Star Power finalist, [Akiko Solon](/source/Akiko_Solon).[{{cite news|url=http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/11/25/11/young-jv-launches-alay-single |title=Young JV launches 'Alay' single |work=ABS-CBN News|access-date=2013-04-29}}] He made his acting debut in the romantic comedy film, [Won't Last a Day Without You](/source/Won't_Last_a_Day_Without_You) with [Sarah Geronimo](/source/Sarah_Geronimo) and [Gerald Anderson](/source/Gerald_Anderson) as its lead stars.

On August 29, 2012, Young JV eventually released his second studio album, ''[Doin' It Big](/source/Doin'_It_Big_(Young_JV_album))'' under a signed contract with [Star Music](/source/Star_Music).

In 2014, he took part on the [third Philippine Popular Music Festival](/source/Philippine_Popular_Music_Festival) with former [South Border](/source/South_Border_(band)) lead vocalist Duncan Ramos as the interpreters for the song entry "Hang Out Lang" written by Allan Feliciano and Isaac Garcia.[{{cite web|last1=Ishihara|first1=Julie|title=PHILPOP 2014 Interpreters Announced!|url=http://www.myxph.com/features/13268/philpop-2014-interpreters-announced/|website=May 29, 2014|publisher=MYX Philippines|access-date=June 1, 2014}}]
He released his first single in 2015 entitle, ''Ale'' from his third album, ''YJV'', on June distributed worldwide by [Star Music](/source/Star_Music). February of the current year, he supported [ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation](/source/ABS-CBN_Lingkod_Kapamilya_Foundation)'s eco-tourism and livelihood projects in Samar and Leyte, visited ALKFI's projects and had a concert for the Kapamilyas there. March – April, he'd been busy supporting ''Green Thumb Coalition'' for its Green Thumb Electoral Campaign with its mission of challenging the candidates to include environmental protection on their political agenda. Young JV and his team #YJVteam went all over the Philippines for this. July to September 2015, Young JV had 23 [SM Supermalls](/source/SM_Supermalls) Shows, promoting his ''YJV'' album. His second single ''Flashback'' feat. Emmanuelle was launched at MOR 91.1 Iloilo, October 2015 and its music video was premiered on [MYX](/source/Myx) the following day and had a Twitter Party with Younglings (Young JV's Official Fans Club). We saw him December 2015 as "Tony" (Kathryn Bernardo's suitor) on [Pangako Sa 'Yo (2015 TV series)](/source/Pangako_Sa_'Yo_(2015_TV_series)).
Young JV released his third single ''Got To Have You'' February 2016 and its music video is now hitting Pinoy MYX Countdown. June 2016 onwards, we saw him again on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida, featured on [Born For You](/source/Born_For_You) as "Mix". August 27, 2016 Young JV launched globally his new single ''Pasa Diyos'' featuring The Phenomenal Star [Vice Ganda](/source/Vice_Ganda). This song with its music video is not only proactive in these times but inspirational. ''Pasa Diyos'' is available for download on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify, produced by Doin' It Big Production, distributed digitally worldwide by [Star Music](/source/Star_Music).
2017, [Star Magic](/source/Star_Magic) named him as JV KAPUNAN as he will focus more on his acting career. He was featured on [La Luna Sangre](/source/La_Luna_Sangre) as Joshua, the Mole Vampire on Supremo[Richard Gutierrez](/source/Richard_Gutierrez)'s core vampires. He'd been also a part of [Pusong Ligaw](/source/Pusong_Ligaw) as Jake, one of Enzo Pineda's friends. But then again at the end of the day, JV still loves composing, producing and performing OPM songs. As trusted by his Manager and second dad, Mr. [Johnny Manahan](/source/Johnny_Manahan), JV composed the Star Magic's 25th Anniversary Theme Song, "Ikaw ang Magic ng Buhay Ko". He also had released his digital single,''Kulay'' and was launched on ASAP CHILLOUT on the day of his birthday. Its music video featuring KissMarc (Kisses Delavin and Marco Gallo) was hitting MYX charts. As advocate, JV had joined [TV Patrol](/source/TV_Patrol)'s TPV30 several times. TPV30 is TV Patrol's way of giving back to our Kapamilya in the whole country, Philippines, in celebration of its 30th anniversary. In early 2018, JV collaborated with environmentalist and philanthropist Ms. [Gina Lopez](/source/Gina_Lopez) on a new advocacy project. This followed a joint appearance on the talk show [Tonight with Boy Abunda](/source/Tonight_with_Boy_Abunda) with [Miho Nishida](/source/Miho_Nishida) in late 2017.
==Basketball career==
