Pets have a special place in people’s lives, bringing joy and alleviating their owners’ stress. They often become part of families, forming deep bonds with household members. Even among K-pop idols, many are certified animal lovers and pet owners themselves!
After their tiring schedules, K-pop idols likely look forward to bonding with their pets when they go home or visit their families. When they post about these interactions, fans love seeing them spend heartwarming moments with their adorable animals.
With that, here are some K-pop idols who own the cutest pets:
BTS’ V
BTS’ V has a Pomeranian named Yeontan, which means “coal briquette” in Korean. With V’s frequent updates about Yeontan on Instagram, Twitter, and Weverse, the adorable Yeontan has become loved by ARMYs, who even call him the 8th member of BTS. By sharing various photos and videos of Yeontan, V truly shows how proud he is to be a dog dad.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is a certified cat lover, with not just one but five cats! Luca and Lily are Ragdolls, Louis and Lego are British Shorthairs, and Leo is a Scottish Fold. These adorable cats often appear in Lisa’s social media posts and live streams. In 2021, Lisa finally opened an Instagram account for her pets called the L family, which now has 3.4 million followers!
SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu
SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu is not only associated with puppies because he looks and feels like one, but he’s also a dog dad himself! Mingyu’s first dog, a Maltese named Aji, was featured once during Weekly Idol’s Pet Special.
Afterward, two new dogs were added to their family: the Bichon Frises Bobpul and Bobtori! Initially, Bobpul had an Instagram account that was meant to be kept quiet with only a few followers. Now, he has over 300K followers after SEVENTEEN’s fans discovered his account.
TXT’s Beomgyu
TXT’s Beomgyu owns a pet that not many K-pop idols probably have—a parrot! Beomgyu’s pet bird, Toto, is a Turquoise Fronted Amazon. This adorable parrot is frequently seen on Beomgyu’s social media posts, showing how much the talkative pet is loved by its owner.
TWICE’s Momo
TWICE’s Momo has two adorable male dogs, Boo and Dobby, who are both Norwich Terriers. Boo and Dobby are often seen in TWICE’s video content, receiving as much love from the other members as they do from Momo. These cute dogs live together with Momo and Nayeon in their shared dorm.
The special bond these K-pop idols have with their pets is truly heartwarming. Beyond the stages and TV screens, it is precious moments like these that show the idols’ genuine personalities and love for animals, which fans love to see the most.
