Yeontan Archives • K-POP LIFE

Kim Taehyung, aka BTS’ V, lit up the stage with his “Slow Dancing” performance but surprisingly, his cutest surprise guest Yeontan was the one who stole the show.

On Thursday, September 14, Kim Yeontan, V’s pet Pomeranian, made his official music show debut through his special live appearance on the M Countdown stage.

The performance started with a photo of Yeontan’s face from the album cover of Layover. Then, it transitioned to an actual video of the pet, leaving fans surprised. Prior to the performance, V had already hinted that he’ll have a special guest for that stage. Throughout V’s performance, Yeontan, affectionately called as Tannie, is seen strolling freely around the stage.

And the cuteness didn’t even stop there as V also shared a photo of him with Yeontan backstage. What made the day even more special was that V also took home the music win for that day. So for his caption, he quipped that even his beloved Tannie also has a music win under his belt.

More about Tannie

Even before making his stage debut, Tannie has already been widely admired by ARMYs worldwide. The black-and-tan Pomeranian was first introduced to the public in December 2017, during the live broadcast of BTS’ Jin.

Since then, Yeontan has made numerous appearances on the sensational group’s content. In fact, the well-loved dog appeared in behind-the-scenes clips, photoshoots, and even in the BTS: Burn The Stage film.

However, V disclosed some time ago that Tannie is having some health issues. According to the idol, his pet endured heart-related problems and endured two unsuccessful surgeries for it. In a recent guest appearance in Pixd, V shared how much he wants pets to have a longer life.

With this sad news, fans expected that there’d be fewer chances to see Yeontan’s public appearance again given his sensitive health condition. Moreover, ARMYs are also hoping for the pet’s welfare.

Which is why many fans are moved that V decided to include Tannie in Layover. Notably, the singer has previously disclosed how the pet played a huge part in his solo debut album. Not only was Yeontan the face of his album cover, but V also posed with his pet for some concept photos.

📰 #BTSV released 35 more concept photos for his first solo album “Layover,” exciting fans around the world. In the photos, similar to the first set released, V shows himself as in every day life, including time with his Pomeranian “Yeontan.”

BTS member V is already famous on his own but his beloved dog Yeontan is giving him a run for his money. The adorable Pomeranian has become an important companion to the idol. However, that doesn’t mean that Kim Taehyung’s furry friend considers him the boss. As it turns out, the little pup considers another member of the Kim family as his real boss.

V Reveals The One Person Yeontan Respects More Than The BTS Member

In a recent fashion feature for W Korea‘s September 2023 issue, V, the prominent BTS member and ambassador for luxury jewelry brand Cartier, once again graced the pages as a CELINE model. This unforgettable photoshoot showcased V’s captivating style and charisma.

In the midst of this dazzling shoot, V participated in a behind-the-scenes interview where the conversation took a heartwarming turn towards his beloved furry companion, Yeontan. V, known for his endearing connection with his pet, openly discussed their close bond.

During a Q&A session, V shared some delightful anecdotes about Yeontan. He humorously disclosed that his precious pup had recently embarked on a diet due to some overindulgence, coupled with a fresh haircut. V couldn’t help but gush about Yeontan’s undeniable cuteness, revealing a side of the global superstar that fans adore – his genuine affection for his four-legged friend.

Kim Taehyung then revealed that Yeontan’s loyalty changes when they are at home. “The boss in my family is my mom,” he admitted. “When Yeontan is around her, he doesn’t come when I call him.”

However, the dog still needs V’s support whenever he is around unfamiliar people. “I’m his Number 1 when he’s around strangers,” the idol said.

It’s great to know that V and Yeontan get along well. On the other hand, the pup will always choose the real boss when Kim Taehyung’s mother is around.

V is gearing up for his solo debut with the album “Layover,” scheduled for release on September 8, 2023.
