BTS’ V Mourns The Passing Of Beloved Dog Yeontan

South Korean singer and BTS member Kim Taehyung, more popularly known as V, shares the passing of his beloved Pomeranian on Monday, December 02.

The BTS member shared the sad news on his Instagram story three days after the release of his newest digital single with renowned South Korean ballad singer Park Hyo-shin entitled ‘Winter Ahead’.

He talked about how time has passed him by and that we’re already towards the end of the year.

However, the BTS member shocked his fans when he revealed that his beloved Pomeranian, named Yeontan, and affectionately referred to as ‘Tannie’ by both his band members and fans, has crossed the rainbow bridge recently.

He wrote in Korean, “Actually the reason why I’m writing this text is because recently Yeontan has left us on a long journey to dog heaven.”

“I thought a lot about how to tell you guys, but since ARMY (BTS fans) you all sent so much love until now, I believed this was the right thing to do and delivered the news,” V added.

V also asked fans to think of Yeontan from time to time, explaining, “I’ll be really thankful if you guys think about Yeontan from time to time so he can be happy in dog heaven.”

The BTS member also wished that everyone can spend a warm end to the year “where you can tell your loved ones around you that you love them one more time.”

In 2023, V reveals in an episode of a Korean YouTube show, called Pixid, that the pooch has heart problems, even undergoing and surviving two heart surgeries that were unsuccessful.

In the episode, V explained, “Tan has a bad heart and had surgery twice. But both times it was unsuccessful. Every time it was unsuccessful, he could have died during the surgery. But his will kept him alive. I was so grateful that he fought for his life.”

Yeontan made his “official debut” in December 2017, during fellow BTS member Jin’s birthday livestream.

Since then, both BTS members and fans have shown the pooch a lot of love as he became as famous as his superstar dad.

As a matter of fact, Yeontan even joined V in the singer’s official solo debut stage in a Korean music show program, and even had his own camera following him all throughout the performance.

We hope Yeontan is having the time of his life in doggy heaven!

Garner explains that they brought nine-year-old pooch to the vet on Thursday, because “she wasn’t feeling herself (a renowned foodie, Birdie never missed a meal)”.

Garner also shared that Birdie “hanged on” until her person, Garner’s daughter with Ben Affleck, Violet Affleck, came home from college for Thanksgiving.

“The vet told us that dogs often hang on until their person comes home from college and we believe Birdie did just that, so that we could pet her soft ears together and thank her for being the world’s best dog,” Garner shares.

In her life, Birdie has shared a YouTube show with Garner called “Books with Birdie” because she loved being read to.

In their episode of ‘WeWalkDogs’, Garner reveled that Birdie was a gift to Violet for her 10th birthday.

“My eldest was 2 and decided she needed her own dog, and she talked about it all the time,” the actress reveals.

“And I said, ‘When you’re 10, that’s the age that one might get their own dog.’ I thought she’d forget because she was just 2. But now we have Birdie.”

Garner wrote, “She lived a happy dog life and is now in the role she was born to play: angel girl.”

Garner ended her emotional post for Birdie with, “It’s a gift to love and be loved by such a creature as Birdie the Doggie.”

The Instagram post included some of the best moments of Birdie during her life. Moments where she was being read to, sang to, and her admiring a stained glass window in their home with her in it.
