BTS V, No. 1 male idol you want to walk your dog with
In a survey conducted on Choi Aedol from March 27 to April 3, V received a total of 16,857 votes, demonstrating his huge popularity as a dog lover.
V is raising a dog named ‘Yeontan’, a black Pomeranian breed.
V shared photos and videos with 'Yeontan' with fans, such as taking 'Yeontan' for a walk or accompanying him on schedule, showing off his special love by showing affection and responsibility to his dog.
V was unique from the time he adopted a dog, and in his own content 'V LIVE', he said that he had been thinking about getting a dog for about half a year, so he studied dogs for about 6 months and brought in Tan.
In fact, trainer Kang Hyeong-wook of 'Opening Order' said on the broadcast that V came to consult with him, saying, "I'm trying to raise a puppy. What preparations should I make to raise it well?" He said, "It looked great." “That is a true pet owner,” he said, leaving a strong impression with the attitude of a responsible pet owner.
In addition, the thoughtfulness of disciplining his dog 'Yeontan' in a place where no one was around showed V's affectionate personality and gave a warm impression.
'Yeontan', who is greatly loved by V, is also loved by fans and is even called the '8th member' of BTS.
Yeontan's photo made him the only Asian celebrity to be included in the 'Top 20 Likes of All Time on Instagram' and became the first Asian celebrity to surpass 19 million 'likes'.
In an interview, when asked, “If you were to write a card expressing your gratitude as the year comes to an end, who would you want to write it to?” V replied, “Tan, Yeontan. “My dog,” he answered, showing his deep love for his dog.
Fans responded by saying things like, “He’s a true dog lover. I’m touched that he visited Kang Hyung-wook,” “I’m happy just imagining walking my dog with V,” and “V and Yeontan are so adorable.”
