BTS' ARIRANG in Busan concert delivered countless memorable moments for fans, but one heartfelt interaction involving V, Jungkook, and Taehyung's late dog Yeontan left ARMYs particularly emotional. The touching incident quickly went viral online, with fans calling it one of the most heartwarming highlights of the group's reunion celebrations.

V gets emotional seeing his late dog's plushie

The special moment unfolded when Jungkook noticed a fan in the audience holding a custom-made plushie that looked remarkably similar to Yeontan, V's beloved Pomeranian. Spotting it from the stage, Jungkook immediately tried to get Taehyung's attention and pointed him toward the fan. When Taehyung realized what Jungkook was showing him, his face instantly lit up with a bright smile.

Fans captured the interaction on camera as Taehyung repeatedly glanced toward the plushie. Later during the concert, he returned to the same section of the audience and accepted the Yeontan doll through security personnel. Holding it carefully, the singer appeared visibly touched by the thoughtful gesture. He even showed the plushie to fellow BTS member Jin before returning it and bowing to thank the fan. The sweet exchange drew loud cheers from the crowd and quickly spread across social media platforms.

For longtime ARMYs, the moment carried deep emotional significance. Yeontan, affectionately known as "Tannie," was introduced to fans by Taehyung in 2017 and gradually became one of the most beloved pets in K-pop. The tiny Pomeranian frequently appeared in BTS content, livestreams, photos, and even Taehyung's solo projects. Over the years, fans jokingly referred to Yeontan as BTS' "unofficial eighth member."

All about Taehyung and Yeontan

In December 2024, Taehyung shared the heartbreaking news that Yeontan had passed away after battling health complications. The announcement prompted an outpouring of grief from fans worldwide, many of whom had followed the dog's journey for years.

That is why the Busan concert interaction resonated so strongly with audiences. What began as Jungkook noticing a fan's plushie turned into a touching tribute to a companion who meant so much to Taehyung and the BTS family. Nearly two years after Yeontan's passing, the emotional moment served as a reminder that Tannie's memory continues to live on in the hearts of BTS and ARMY alike.
