One particular child superstar who has been getting a lot of attention these days is SUGA's poodle Min Holly. The male dog, who was adopted by SUGA in 2016, celebrated his birthday on May 7.
Since being introduced by SUGA in 2018 through a live broadcast, Holly has become part of BTS' famous "super pet squad" which includes the pet dogs of K-pop superstars such as Mickey, Yeontan, Bam, and more.
Like the other members of the group, SUGA is often happy to be asked about Holly on live broadcasts. He describes the dog as: "Holly loves attention. He walks all over me. He comes to me with a toy in his mouth. And then drops it like this…And if I grab it, he’ll bring it back. If I try to grab it, he goes ‘Grrr.’...Holly is a little different. He’s a super attention seeker.”
SUGA is also a father who loves to show off his children, occasionally sharing adorable pictures of his beloved son on social media. Some sharp-eyed fans have even noticed that SUGA keeps a parenting diary for Holly to keep track of their precious memories together.
In particular, one of the photos that fans can't forget is on the dog's 2022 birthday, SUGA shared a photo of Holly next to a cheesecake with candles, a new teddy bear, and his initials.
And of course, as usual, ARMYs were screaming on Twitter about how adorable Holly is!
But what's even more remarkable is that a fan posted a post saying that she was the one who crocheted the dog's initials and gave them to SUGA's dad in 2017.
"Really… My hands were shaking… and I’m fяєαкing out…. I sent Yoongi’s dad a sign with Holy’s name back in 2017 ㅠㅠ And I met it again on Insta ㅠㅠㅠ", she wrote.
To this day, SUGA and his family still keep that inscription, which makes it even more touching! Not only OP but even fans were moved by the respect that SUGA and his family have for his fan:
- Nooooo that's so precious. I love how he always holds dearly every gifts he got from ARMYS
- Oh my god.... This is so precious
- Imagine how precious it must be for them to keep it for so many yrs. Thank u ami for giving them this precious memory
- I love that they keep the things they get gifted & really cherish them it’s really meaningful
- Yoongi keeps army gifts with him
- the fact that they still keep the presents from years ago
- For him to keep it all this time..good gяιєf I adore him.
- Why are they sooo sweet
Another interesting detail is that many ARMYs are wondering why she seems to have missed the "L" in Holy's name, and many also think that Min Holly is actually the correct name.
However, a fan later explained that there is evidence that the dog’s name is “Holy”. In an interview on SUGA’s fan cafe many years ago, he revealed that Holy was born in Seongsu-dong (Holy Water) and was named after that place.
The fan also added that “English speakers thought it came from the female name Holly and it was spelled double L sometimes in hashtags”.
So now we know for sure that this adorable dog’s name is Holy! Anyway, happy birthday Holy and I hope Holy lives a healthy life with SUGA for many more years to come.
