BTS' V's dog Yeontan passes away: Singer shares note

V, whose real name is Kim Taehyung, wrote in Korean, as translated by a fan page on X, "Hello, ARMY. Are you all enjoying a warm and cozy year-end? Thankfully, the weather hasn’t gotten too cold yet! It feels like it’s been a while since I greeted ARMY through a song. The duet with my dear Hyoshin hyung, whom I truly admire, was such a joy, and I have wonderful memories of preparing the upcoming carol with the legendary Bing Crosby, someone I deeply respect. Time flew by, and here we are, already in December."

The Winter Ahead singer then informed fans about the grim news, writing, "The real reason I’m writing today is to share some bittersweet news. Recently, Yeontan embarked on a long journey to the stars, to the dog constellation. I’ve thought a lot about how to share this, but I believe it’s only right to let ARMY, who have shown Yeontan so much love, know about it."

V concluded with the words, "I’d be grateful if you could think of Yeontan from time to time, so that he can continue to be happy among the stars. I hope you all spend a warm year-end filled with love, and take a moment to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. Until the day we meet again, please stay healthy, ARMY. I love you and thank you always."

?Yeontan was suffering from a heart condition

The Pomeranian was suffering from a heart condition, which remained unresolved despite multiple surgeries. Last year, the Rainy Days crooner opened up about Tannie's health scare. He revealed, "Tan has a bad heart and had surgery twice, but both times it was unsuccessful. Every time it was unsuccessful, he could've died during the surgery. But his will kept him alive. I was so grateful that he fought for his life."?
