While BTS’s Jungkook isn’t active on Instagram, he has just created an account for his dobermann Bam—a purrfect excuse to take a look at other K-pop and K-drama stars’ furry companions
Korean stars usually share very little about their private lives on social media, which is often reserved for their projects and collaborations, but it seems this rule doesn’t apply to their floofy friends. On Instagram, in particular, singers, actors and models from South Korea can’t help but post unbearably cute snaps of their pets, share selfies taken with their furbabies, or vlog about how they take care of them.
Whether it’s Blackpink’s Jennie buying Chanel for her pets, BTS’s V sharing snippets of his daily life with his Pomeranian, Start-up actor Nam Joo-hyuk bringing his poodle on set or rapper Jessi sharing the stage with her dog—here are 10 of our favourite Korean celebs—across K-pop, K-drama and more—and their faithful companions. Excuse us, we have to go back to high-pitched squeeing now.
