Whether Lisa is posing with her five cats or Rosé with her adopted pup, our favourite K-pop idols have a special love for their fur babies — and they aren’t afraid to show it. Keep scrolling for more pics and deets of stars and their pets. One word. Purr-fect.
Blackpink’s Lisa is a mama to a handful of furry animals — Scottish fold Leo, ragdoll Luca, ragdoll Lily and British shorthair Louis. Earlier this year, Lisa showed off her new British shorthair kitten, Lego, via an Instagram story. The Thai beauty’s fluffy companions make regular appearances on her social feeds.
The “On The Ground” singer joined many celebs who have adopted dogs during quarantine. She is now a proud parent to a rescue dog called Hank, and he is adorable. In December last year, Hank got his own Instagram account (@hank_says_hank) and was formally introduced by the doe-eyed Blackpink member. “Hank”, Rosé wrote alongside a photo of the dog resting on her lap. Hank currently has 1.7M followers and is more popular than most of us.
“Produce 101” alumnus Chunga’s poodle Bambi first entered our consciousness when she appeared alongside the singer on the November 2020 cover of Vogue Korea. Since then, we’ve learnt that she is six this year and her name was given to her by Chunga’s mum. She was named Bambi because of her deer-like long legs.
Jennie has two canine companions — a pomeranian Kuma and cocker spaniel Kai. Like Bambi, Kai has made his modelling debut. He appeared alongside Jennie on the May 2020 cover of Vogue Korea. Despite her busy schedule, the “SOLO” singer always makes time for her pets and is often seen going on walks with Kuma and Kai.
You won’t be able to take your eyes off Jisoo’s maltese, called Dalgom. Other than being an absolute charmer, the pup is said to bring comfort to the Blackpink singer when she experiences sleep paralysis or nightmares.
South Korean rapper Jessi’s pomeranian Chewie is only two-years-old but he is already a mini celeb in his own right. The pup has his own Instagram (@softandchewie) account where he has racked up a 100-over-K-strong following.
The “Start-Up” actress gives plenty of screen space on her ‘gram to her maltese Damon (named after Ian Somerhalder’s character in “The Vampire Diaries”) and bichon frise Dezy. Suzy’s feed is not only filled with heartwarming photos of herself with her fur babies, she also takes “just because” pictures of them because she’s that smitten with her sidekicks. Who wouldn’t be?
Fun fact: the first photo Korea’s “queen of romantic comedy” ever posted on her Instagram is of her pet pups. While we’re not quite sure what circumstances brought Gong Hyo Jin and her dogs, Mimi and Toto, together, we do know that they share an unbreakable bond. When she’s not busy acting, she is often seen snapping selfies with them and taking them on camping trips.
Park Min Young captivated audiences worldwide when she starred alongside Park Seo-Joon in the hit K-drama series “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim.” Besides their undeniable chemistry on set, fans quickly noticed that both actors own dogs of bichon frise breed, sparking dating rumours — Park Seo-Joon is always seen on set with Simba and Park Min Young’s Leon is a regular guest in her vlogs. Whatever it may be, her four-legged companion dubbed “Leon My Boy” by the actress is well on his way to stardom. Just look at how many likes he gets on her IG feed!
Skin Se Kyung’s equally chic furry companions, Jinkook and Sarang, feature as regulars alongside their stylish owner on many well-dressed strolls, as well as making cameo appearances on her Instagram.
