It is so heartbreaking that while we just admire his illustration on the “White Christmas” illustration cover, we must now say goodbye forever to the precious puppy of BTS V, Yeontan. Yes, BTS V personally conveyed the message that Yeontan had passed away, along with the reason behind his death. However, it doesn’t mean he will be just gone and forgotten. Join us as we take a moment to reminisce all the adorable moments of Yeontan as he journeys to the stars.
BTS V Announces Yeontan Has Passed Away
BTS V has shared the heartbreaking news that his beloved puppy, Yeontan, has passed away.
On December 2, V took to social media to announce that Yeontan had “gone on a long journey,” a heartfelt way of saying goodbye to his beloved puppy.
Yeontan, who was adored by BTS fans worldwide, had been a constant presence in V’s life. The sweet puppy even joined him on stage during his solo promotions last year, becoming a symbol of warmth and love among fans.
In his post, V also reflected on a busy year, mentioning that he had been preparing a new track with two artists he deeply respects, Park Hyo Shin and Bing Crosby. As he welcomed December, V expressed a mix of grief and gratitude while looking back on the year.
“Hello, ARMY! Are you all having a warm end to the year? It’s a relief that the weather isn’t too cold just yet. I think it’s been a while since I’ve greeted you all with a song. I’m remembering the fun moments I had preparing for the duet with Hyo Shin hyung, who I really admire, and my cover of Bing Crosby’s carol, which will be out soon. It’s hard to believe it’s already December.
To be honest, the reason I’m posting this is because Yeontan recently went on a long journey to the stars. I wasn’t sure how to tell you, but since ARMY loved Yeontan so much, I thought it was right for me to share this with you. I hope your year-end season will be warm and that you get to tell the people you love how much they mean to you one more time.
I hope you all stay healthy until the day we can meet again. I love you, and thank you.”
