Kim Taehyung and his dog, Yeontan
BTS's Kim Taehyung is preparing for the launch of his debut solo album, 'Layover'. The anticipation among BTS ARMY is increasingly reaching fever heights. Known as V, Taehyung has been actively promoting his album locally, and he recently graced the cover of W Korea's September 2023 issue. In the feature, V divulged some tidbits about his pet Pomerian, Yeontan.
Taehyung has been doing some gender-bending fashion photoshoots and blowing ARMYs' minds. So far, he has appeared on fashion publications like Arena and W Korea. In an interview with the latter, he discussed Yeontan's health. Anybody who has seen BTS's 'Bangtan Bombs' (behind-the-scenes moments that capture BTS's music activities and onstage/offstage moments) has seen fluffy Yeontan being pampered by every person he meets. Tannie probably got one too many treats from the members - Taehyung shared that he had been put on a diet because he had grown too plump. He also mentioned that his dog received a new haircut, enhancing his adorable appearance.
In the same interaction, when asked about his relationship with Tannie, V admitted he isn't the primary authority figure for his pet. Taehyung shared that his mother, who he affectionately referred to as the real 'boss of the family' is also the one Yeontan listens to most. When Yeontan is with his mother, he often doesn't heed Taehyung's calls. However, in the presence of strangers, Taehyung is the main man and holds the reins.
So far, Taehyung has released two tracks and their music videos from 'Layover.' These are 'Love Me Again' and 'Rainy Days.' Earlier today, he also officially released Scenery, Winter Bear and Snow Flower which had previously only been available on Souncloud.

In the 'Rainy Days' music video, Taehyung masterfully crafts a song rooted in the pop R&B genre for, infusing it with a distinct vibe by blending vintage percussion sounds seamlessly with contemporary drums. The accompanying music video, calm and subdued in nature, encapsulates V as he spends a leisurely day at home, seemingly thinking of someone special.
Whether it's the melancholy that charges the song or the evident display of Taehyung's endearing boyfriend vibes, every facet of the song and its music video resonated deeply with audiences. Notably, the video also garnered attention for featuring Yeontan, V's furry companion, whose cameo undeniably captured the spotlight. What ARMY especially fell for was that the entire video was tinted in hues of blue and yellow - the only colours that dogs are able to perceive! We admit, we teared up a little too when we understood that the music video was from Tannie's perspective.
However, in a surprising revelation, Taehyung shared that since he hadn't been able to bring Yeontan to Spain, the furry Pomerian spotted in the MV was not actually Tannie, but a very similar looking friend's dog! Leave it to BTS to drop bombs on ARMY!
