But Suga isn’t the only BTS member sharing pet news.
During a recent livestream, J-Hope finally confirmed he has two cats after fans kept asking if he owned one.
He explained he was originally a dog person but got hooked on cats after taking care of one. His internet “algorithm” seemed to be filled with cat content, which led to adoption. J-Hope said:
“I also have two cats. You might have heard cat sounds coming from my place. My cats actually each have their own story. One of them is a rescued cat, and the other one is a cat that was abandoned.”

Fans had already guessed J-Hope had cats due to subtle hints in past livestreams—a cat tunnel was spotted reflected on his chair:

And faint cat meows were heard briefly in his background during another livestream:

J-Hope hasn’t shown the cats directly on camera but finally confirmed their existence in the livestream, much to fans’ delight.
