BTS’ RM’s Dog Moni Has Passed Away
During his livestream, RM gave fans the sad update after someone asked if the rapper was doing well. “Ah, I never shared the news with you guys,” RM said in English before switching to Korean. According to a fan translation, RM’s dog, Moni, “crossed the rainbow bridge” about two to three months ago. Due to his busy schedule, RM didn’t get to spend too much time with Moni before his passing. Since his family lived with him every day, RM said they’ve been “having a difficult time” mourning him. “He was family,” RM said. “I hope our Moni will be happy as a puppy star, too.”
