BTS’ V is earning praise yet again from fans for his kind and philanthropic act towards Perro, a street dog who became an honorary cast member of Jinny’s Kitchen, the variety show he was filming for in Bacalar, Mexico.
Jinny’s Kitchen was the official spin-off of the network’s own food-based variety show, Youn’s Kitchen, featuring Lee Seo-jin, Park Seo-joon, Jung Yu-mi, Choi Woo-sik, and BTS’ V as the main cast members. The cast and crew were stationed in Bacalar, Mexico, where they set up a snack bar and sold Korean street food to Mexican customers.
While filming the show, the cast became close to stray dog Perro, who hung out on the sets of Jinny’s Kitchen. Apparently, the dog had some medical issues, and when BTS’ V learned of this, he requested that one of his trusted team members pay for Perro’s medical treatments.
