In the recent episode of Pixid, BTS V aka Kim Taehyung played an imposter amongst cat owners. The idol had to pretend as a cat owner and not get caught.
He joined a group of cat owners and tried to blend in as one of them. Since he’s actually a dog owner, he shared that he quickly looked up information about cats before filming. He even borrowed photos of a staff member’s cat so he wouldn’t get caught. Despite that, he eventually got caught.
During the discussion, the group started talking about how difficult it is when pets get sick. That encouraged V to talk about something very personal—his dog Yeontan’s health. He revealed that Yeontan had a serious heart condition and had already gone through two surgeries, but neither was successful.
He shared that ‘Yeontan has a bad heart and had surgery twice, but both times it was unsuccessful.’
V went on to share ‘Every time it was unsuccessful, he could’ve died during the surgery, but his will kept him alive.’
Meanwhile, V is currently promoting his first solo album, Layover, which comes out on September 8, 2023. The album features six tracks, including pre-release single “Rainy Days,” “Love Me Again,” “Blue,” and lead track “Slow Dancing.”
Yeontan played a special role in the album as well. He inspired the album’s visual concept and appeared in some of the promotional materials.
As part of his album promotions, V is set to appear on different variety and web shows such as Dingo Story, NPOP, You Quiz on the Block, and more.
