Here’s 15+ Times BTS’s V Proved He’s A True Animal Lover
BTS‘s V is a certified animal lover. He especially loves dogs! Yet, he loves all animals, including cats, birds, and even snakes! He certainly does not discriminate. He is loving and kind to everyone and everything he meets.
While there are numerous moments to choose from, we have selected some of the best. Here are 15+ times V proved he’s a true animal lover…
1. His relationship with his dog Yeontan
Of course, we have to start with Yeontan— he’s everyone’s favorite dog, after all!
We were first introduced to him during Jin‘s birthday live broadcast in 2017 when he was just a puppy!
Now, he’s all grown up and has many, many appearances in BTS content. There’s honestly so much to choose from, so we’ll just include some of our favorite moments… Starting with when V officially introduced Yeontan to ARMY.
And, of course, when he shared this sweet moment from when he was playing with Yeontan (he was just a baby)!
Recently, he changed his profile picture to a photo of Yeontan!
Whenever he shares cute candid videos of him on social media…

When they give each other kisses…
This proud dad even included Yeontan in one of his Naver x Dispatch photoshoots!
2. BTS’s Buzzfeed interview with puppies
The best interview would definitely go to Buzzfeed for giving BTS puppies to play with. When V found out about it, his face said it all. We’ve literally never seen V look happier during an interview.
Just look at his interactions with the puppies. He was living his best life!
Even when one of the puppies peed on the floor during the interview, he not only remained unphased…
He thought it was adorable and happily volunteered to help clean it up!
3. When a bird landed on his hand
In BTS: Bon Voyage season 2, the members go to Hawaii, and V was overjoyed when a bird landed on his hand.
4. When Zach Sang brought his dog out during an interview
During a Zoom interview, Zach Sang’s dog Lou could be heard barking, so then, of course, the members wanted to be introduced!

5. When he couldn’t help but play with a cat during a photoshoot
Photoshoots are always more fun with a friend!

While in New Zealand, the members met some new fluffy friends, and V got along well.
7. When BTS found themselves surrounded by sheep
Also, in season 4 of Bon Voyage, BTS went to a roadside café and found themselves surrounded by a flock of sheep. The boys looked so happy to be enclosed by the cute and fluffy creatures!
8. His relationship with Khanji
Before there was Yeontan, there was Khanji, a Persian-Chinchilla cat! He was V’s and now lives with his parents. It’s been about five years since ARMY last saw him, but they are reportedly still close.

It seemed to be love at first sight…
But, throughout the interview, he kept teasing the dog!

Unfortunately, the other members used this against him, suspected and accused him of being the guilty party. Not only did he continually defend himself, but it turned out he was completely innocent in episode 147!
"I played with a cat for 5 minutes is that a bad thing? "
-Kim Taehyung, an upset warriorRUN BTS Ep 147 is a lit.
