Seoul: BTS’ V’s pet dog, Yeontan, made an unexpected live television debut at the Mnet M Countdown on September 14, 2023, stealing the spotlight. Since Yeontan plays a dominant role in V’s debut solo album, Layover, fans eagerly anticipated more of his appearances. However, given Yeontan’s sensitive health condition, seeing him on stage was an unexpected and heartwarming surprise.
During V’s performance of Slow Dancing, Yeontan made his entrance, trotting cutely from backstage toward V. The awed fans noted how Yeontan seemed a bit bewildered by the large audience but instinctively protected his owner, just as any loyal dog would. Another delightful news of the day was the BTS star winning the M Countdown stage, which was also Slow Dancing’s first-ever show win.

Kim Taehyung’s dog Yeontan recently turned 7 years old on September 7, 2023, and fans couldn’t stop appreciating and wishing him for being one of the most adorable pets ever. Undoubtedly, Yeontan, with all his cuteness, is one of the most loved dogs currently.
Although him being a part of V’s solo debut album project definitely came as a surprise to the fans, they couldn’t stop adoring the fondness that this owner and pet duo shared. The Love Me Again singer’s love for his dog is nothing new to the fandom. However, him putting up Yeontan’s face as his debut album’s cover spoke volumes about how much V cherished Tannie, as he’s lovingly referred to by his owner as well as the ARMYs.
Everyone in the fandom has been aware that V’s album has five songs, and all of them come with music videos for the ARMYs. In the second MV for the song Rainy Days, which was released on August 11, ARMYs saw an appearance from Yeontan himself. Later, it was revealed that the dog in the video wasn’t Tannie but a dog of the same breed named Rocky, as he couldn’t travel due to his health condition.
