The behind-the-scenes story of BTS V and Bing Crosby\u2019s duet \u201cWhite Christmas\u201d<\/em> music video has touched fans worldwide with its heartfelt tribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On December 6, Bing Crosby’s official YouTube channel released the music video for \u201cWhite Christmas\u201d<\/em> as an animation inspired by V\u2019s cherished pet dog, Yeontan. The animation captures the warmth of the holiday spirit, with Bing Crosby as Santa Claus and Yeontan accompanying him on a sleigh ride, delivering gifts. The final scene, where Yeontan transforms into a star shining in the night sky, left fans deeply moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n V\u2019s love for Yeontan has always been apparent. The dog featured on the cover of V\u2019s first solo album, Layover<\/em>, and even in his Weverse and portal profile pictures. Yeontan gained international fame, with outlets like CBS\u2019s Entertainment Tonight<\/em> and the BBC naming him one of the world\u2019s most famous pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tragically, shortly before the release of the music video, V announced Yeontan\u2019s passing. On December 2, V shared on Instagram, \u201cRecently, Yeontan has embarked on a long journey to the stars. I\u2019ve been thinking about how to share this, and I felt it was only right to let ARMYs know, as you have shown him so much love.\u201d He added, \u201cIf you could think of Yeontan from time to time, it would mean a lot to me. I hope this season allows you to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Illustrator Luis Pretzel, who worked on the music video, revealed, \u201cWhile working on the project, we learned the heartbreaking news of Yeontan\u2019s passing. As a tribute, we decided to depict Yeontan as a star in the final scene.\u201d Pretzel added, \u201cDespite the sadness, I\u2019m proud of how the team came together to create something beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For seven years, Yeontan was affectionately called the “8th member of BTS” by fans, embodying a special connection between V, ARMY, and his beloved pet. Although Yeontan\u2019s time was short, the music video immortalizes his spirit as a guiding star, resonating deeply with fans and offering a poignant reminder of love and connection during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhite Christmas\u201d<\/em> is now not only a festive anthem but also a touching tribute to an everlasting bond that will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of ARMYs everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA Special Tribute to Yeontan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
