V took to his Instagram stories and penned a comprehensive note that read, “Hello ARMYs, are you all having a warm end of the year? I'm glad that the weather isn't too cold yet! I think I'm giving my greetings to ARMYs through a song for the first time in a while. All the fun memories I have of the duet with Hyo Shin hyung, whom I really like, and the carol with Bing Crosby, whom I respect so much, that will be released soon, and the time spent preparing for them, pass me by. And now, it's already December of this year.”

He added, “To be honest, the reason I've come to write a post like this is because Yeontan has left on a long journey to doggy heaven recently. I've thought a lot about how to tell you all about this, but I convey this news as I thought it would be right to tell all ARMYs who have sent so much love until now. I would be thankful if ARMYs would be able to think of Yeontan here and there so that he can be happy in heaven too. I hope it will be a warm end of the year where you can tell your loved ones around you that you love them one more time. I hope ARMYs will always be healthy until the day we meet again! I love you, thank you.”
