They instantly wondered if V had officially entered his cat dad era. The kitty chatter quickly revived a memory from about two years ago, when the BTS member appeared on Pixie and openly talked about learning more about cats. At the time, he even joked that Yeontan might get a baby brother or sister. That comment aged like fine wine because ARMY wasted zero time connecting it to the recent Story!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/taeguide\/status\/2003416041230372966?s=20\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">[INFO] Taehyung IG story <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t handle this\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Omg is Taehyung a Cat dad now? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1V2H1NPRqf\">pic.twitter.com\/1V2H1NPRqf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; TAE GUIDE (@taeguide) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/taeguide\/status\/2003416041230372966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">December 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Longtime fans also pulled out deep lore. Back in his early debut days, V actually owned a cat named <strong>Kkanji<\/strong>, who mostly stayed with his parents. With this new post, memories of V and Kkanji resurfaced, making the theory feel even more believable. The timing also felt emotional due to past memories. On December 2, 2024, V shared the heartbreaking news of the passing of his beloved dog <strong>Yeontan<\/strong>. He posted photos spanning several years, asking fans to remember Yeontan warmly. Yeontan was a black Pomeranian first introduced on December 4, 2017, famously called the eighth member of BTS. Sadly, the dog battled serious heart conditions throughout his life.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USBTSARMY\/status\/1863628269138088058?s=20\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">thv | IG<br \/>V posted \u201cMr. Kim Yeontan\ud83d\udda4\u201d<br \/>(IG translation)<\/p>\n<p>We love you Yeontan.
