“The reason I decided to post this message today is because, recently, Yeontan (my dog) embarked on a long journey to the stars. I thought a lot about how to share this news with you, but I felt that it was right to let ARMYs, who have sent so much love to Yeontan, know, so I’m sharing this news now. I believe Yeontan would feel happy if ARMYs also remember him fondly as he sets off on this journey.” BTS’ Taehyung wrote.

Taehyung's black-and-tan Pomeranian was first shown to ARMYs on December 4, 2017, when Jin's birthday was broadcast. Since then, his pet has appeared in numerous media, such as live broadcasts and photo sessions. Tannie also featured on the cover of V’s solo album Layover.
