Looking back at memorable moments of BTS's pet V - Yeontan: 7 years in the blink of an eye
A series of adorable moments of Yeontan - V's (BTS) puppy - were shared by fans on various platforms. The puppy's passing was something fans could have predicted, but everyone was sad because they had watched this "little boy" grow up with V since he was a tiny "cotton ball". On the afternoon of December 2, V (BTS) made fans heartbroken when he announced that his beloved puppy - Yeontan - had passed away.
V shared a long Story on Instagram. He wrote, "Yeontan recently set off on a journey to the stars."Yeontan is a pet dog that V adopted around 2017. Accompanying V and BTS for the past 7 years, the dog not only has many memories with the members, but has also become an indispensable part of BTS fans' hearts.
Yeontan has been with the BTS members for a long time. Following this news, ARMYs sent their condolences to V. In addition, Yeontan's adorable moments were also shared by fans, along with many wishes for the dog.
Yeontan first "debuted" to the public in December 2017, on the livestream of the oldest member Jin's birthday. Immediately after that, Yeontan "caused a storm" with her round, soft appearance.
According to fans' speculation, "Yeontan" means charcoal briquettes used indoors, mainly for cooking and heating. Thus, V named this dog not only because the dog has a warm body, but also because it is a comfortable and peaceful place for him.
Around 2018, V made fans "melt" when he continued to show off his "son" in a livestream. Yeontan at that time was only tiny, having to run quickly following V's "so long" footsteps like a stuffed dog, both adorable and funny.
After that, Yeontan became hot again thanks to "uncle" j-hope. On the occasion of V also bringing Yeontan to the backstage, j-hope immediately gave the little dog a "training" course on the song Mic Drop to "become a shapeless person". Although they could not understand the dog's mood, fans told each other that Yeontan must have been "squealing" a little in his heart.
In 2023, the puppy made another "shock" when it appeared on the cover of the album Layover - V's solo debut album.

Not only that, Yeontan even became the first K-Pop idol's pet to have a fancam released by the station.
On September 14, 2023, Yeontan appeared on the M! Countdown stage as a special guest. In the song Slow Dancing, the dog just walked around and looked around, but still received 2.2 million views, proving its position as a "real top-notch product" in the K-Pop idol pet village.
Since 2021, V has shared that Yeontan has had many health problems. The dog has a very narrow airway, causing difficulty breathing. Yeontan has therefore undergone many surgeries. Fans are currently continuously sending words of encouragement to V via social media.
