BTS wrapped up two sold-out nights in Busan, a city in southeastern South кσяєα, on Saturday, marking the 13th anniversary of their debut with heartfelt messages of gratitude to their fans. The concerts at Busan Asiad Main Stadium, the Busan stop of the group's "Arirang" world tour, attracted approximately 110,000 fans over two nights, with the second show coinciding with BTS's debut anniversary on June 13, 2013.

Speaking on behalf of the members, leader RM reflected on the group's journey, saying that the past 13 years now seem to be "flashes before my eyes." "It is an honor and I am truly grateful that we can be together like this," he said. "Wherever we are, and whatever we look like, we will always do our best to show you who we are as we are." He added, "I hope you will stay with us for a long, long time."

Alongside the explosive performances and warm interactions between BTS and ARMY, fans have also been captivated by an υиєχρє¢тє∂ moment involving V that has been spreading rapidly across social media over the past few hours. Several clips showed him suddenly running toward one of the side stages, leaving many wondering what had caught his attention.

Fans later revealed the full story behind the moment. It turned out that V had spotted a handmade plush doll modeled after Yeontan, his beloved late pet dog, in the hands of a fan!

The moment he noticed the Yeontan doll, the singer immediately ran over and expressed his wish to see it up close and hold it for a moment. A security guard then helped retrieve the plush and handed it to him. Watching V gently cradle the doll, gaze at it with soft, affectionate eyes, and lightly stroke it moved countless fans.

Even Jin, who happened to be walking by, became curious and stopped to look. V happily showed the Yeontan plush to his fellow member before Jin gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder and continued across another part of the stage. After holding the doll for a few seconds, V carefully returned it to its owner, placing his hand over his chest and bowing in gratitude to thank the fan for "bringing Yeontan" to the concert.

Since V first introduced Yeontan in 2017, the black-and-brown Pomeranian had been adored not only by the BTS members but also by fans around the world, becoming a beloved "superstar" in his own right. Sadly, in December 2024, V announced on Instagram that Yeontan had "begun a long journey to the world of dogs." He shared that he had spent a long time thinking about how to break the news and felt it was the right moment to tell ARMY, who had given Yeontan so much love. The announcement ѕнσ¢кed fans worldwide, who expressed their condolences to V, mourned the little dog’s pαѕѕing, and prayed for his soul.

Two years have pαѕѕed since Yeontan's ∂єαтн, yet V, the BTS members, and ARMY continue to remember him fondly. Throughout his life, Yeontan brought immense joy to those around him. Every year on his birthday, fans organize large-scale donation drives to animal welfare and rescue organizations in the names of V and Yeontan. Rather than dwelling solely on the sadness of his pαѕѕing, ARMY has chosen to honor Yeontan in the happiest and most meaningful way possible.

Today's moment at the Busan concert once again brought memories of Yeontan flooding back for fans, making BTS's 13th anniversary celebration even more emotional. Witnessing the touching interaction, many fans were moved to tears, commenting:

- The fact that taehyung have run just to see closer and hold this yeontan plushie makes me cry a river. Look at the smile on his face while holding it 

- I KNOW HE GOT SO EMOTIONAL AND HE IS ALWAYS TOUCHED BY ANYTHING RELATED TO HIS FOREVER LITTLE STAR AND BABY YEONTAN *sobbing*

- I truly believe Yeontan was watching from heaven today. He must have wagged his little tail with joy seeing his dad smiling on stage and being surrounded by so much love

- Yeontan like: "I'm still here with you, and I'm so proud of you. Happy 13th Anniversary Dad and uncles"

- I still cant believe yeontan is gone. this moment crushes my heart into pieces

- Crying I'm so glad that taehyung is aware of us keeping tannie in our heart forever

- He mustve missed tannie so much oh my heart hurts. A day of full emotion

- Somewhere beyond the clouds, Yeontan is probably watching BTS celebrate their 13th anniversary. Seeing V gently hold that plush must have made him feel that he has never been forgotten. Love doesn't disappear—it simply finds another way to stay by our side
