BTS's V (Kim Taehyung) has shared the sad news of the passing of his beloved dog, Yeontan.

On December 2, V posted a heartfelt message to his fans, saying, “The reason I’m posting today is that Yeontan has recently embarked on a long journey to the dog star."

He added, "I thought about how to tell everyone, but I felt it was right to share this news with ARMY, who have shown so much love until now.”

He continued, “I would be grateful if ARMY could think of Yeontan from time to time so that he can be happy in the stars."

He added, "I hope this year’s end is a warm one where you can tell your loved ones that you love them once more. I also wish for all ARMY to always be healthy until the day we meet again.”

V often shared special moments with Yeontan, and last year, the two made headlines when they performed together on M Countdown.

The show even made a special video titled "Yeontan's Fandom Camera," which went viral, receiving 2.25 million views.

Currently, V is serving in the military as an active-duty soldier in the 2nd Army Corps in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. He is part of a special military police unit, and his expected discharge date is June 10, 2025.

ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
