Blackpink members might be gracing magazine covers, dazzling at red carpet events and landing lucrative deals with luxury brands, but did you know their pets are almost as famous as they are?
From Jennie’s adorable brown Pomeranian named Kuma who appeared on the cover of Vogue Korea, to Rosé’s bright orange fish Joohwangie who marked his debut on a local TV show, here’s a rundown of the girl group’s cute pets …
Instagram records: which celebs gained 1 million followers the fastest?
Jennie’s dogs Kuma and Kai

Jennie graced the cover of Vogue Korea with her brown Pomeranian, Kuma. During an appearance on South Korean TV show We Will Channel You, she revealed that she chose the name Kuma – which means “bear” in Japanese – because the puppy reminded her of a bear. Kuma’s favourite food is dried pollack, and Jennie likes to give him the treat as a reward when he completes tricks.

While Kuma has been dubbed “the boss of Blackpink” by fans, he actually isn’t Jennie’s first dog. That title goes to a cocker spaniel with snow-white fur called Kai, who is known to be relatively shy compared to Kuma, according to Koreaboo.
According to Korea Portal, there were rumours that Kai was named after Jennie’s ex-boyfriend, Exo’s Kai, when they were dating. But this is unlikely since Jennie’s dog was already eight years old when the pair started dating.
Jennie also loves spoiling her two pets – they have been spotted riding around in her family’s Porsche Cayenne and even wearing Chanel.

Rosé fish Joohwangie and dog Hank

Rosé is known as an animal-loving K-pop star who loves to visit zoos when she’s in different countries. Many of her fans highly anticipated seeing her beloved pets, and she eventually introduced her fish on We Will Channel You with some videos that she took herself. The two cute fishes, Joohwangie and Eunbyul, are named after their appearances: joohwang means orange in Korean and eun means silver.
Joohwangie is a blood parrot cichlid while Eunbyul is a tinfoil barb. Rosé once had another fish called Eunhee, but she sadly passed away, according to Koreaboo.

Rosé also has a dog named Hank who she spoils with plenty of luxury pet accessories, including Tiffany & Co.’s dog bowl and Saint Laurent’s pet carrier.
She adopted Hank last December after he was abandoned by his owner, according to Inquirer.net. The rescue pup has his own Instagram account with over two million followers!
4 Korean stars who found fame … with a little help from celebrity friends
Jisoo’s dog Dalgom

Jisoo apparently adopted a similar approach to her bandmate Jennie when naming her white maltese dog Dalgom – the name originates from the word bandaloom, which means half-moon bear in Korean. Fans have observed that he appears to get along with Jennie’s dog, Kuma.

Hank isn’t the only Blackpink dog with expensive taste, apparently – Dalgom recently got a lot of gifts from luxury brands as well. As Jisoo is the ambassador of Dior, Olivier Bialobos, Dior’s chief communication officer, once wrote a handwritten card just for Dalgom. He even gave Jisoo’s fur baby a pink and cream bag with his name embroidered on it. Dalgom also once received a patterned collar from Burberry, according to Koreaboo.

Lisa’s “L family” – cats Leo, Luca, Lily, Louis and new puppy Love

Lisa gave four of her beloved cats names starting with the letter L – Leo, Luca, Lily and Louis. While they all look similar with their white, brown and black fur, they are actually all different breeds. Leo is a Scottish Fold, Luca and Lily are both Ragdolls, and Louis is a British Shorthair.

And this August, Lisa added another member to her “L” family – a tiny Doberman who she named Love. Fans are looking forward to seeing luxury collaborations or endorsements for her L family, as Lisa herself is an ambassador for many luxury brands, including Celine and Bulgari.
