Taemin recently delighted his fans by sharing new photos of his beloved cats, Kkoong and Daeng, in his Instagram stories on February 6, 2024. 

Over the past three years, Taemin has embraced his role as a devoted cat dad, frequently posting adorable and humorous snapshots of his feline companions.

Kkoong: Taemin's Princess

Kkoong holds a special place in Taemin's heart as his princess. Her name, inspired by Taemin's fans who are affectionately known as "Jjakgoong," symbolizes a bond akin to that of besties or partners. This connection is reflected in the charming moments Taemin shares with Kkoong, capturing the hearts of his followers.

Daeng: The Puppy-like Companion

Daeng, Taemin's 'son', is named for his endearing, puppy-like charm. The moniker "Daeng" is a playful twist on "daeng-daengi," a nickname often given to puppies in Korean. This name perfectly encapsulates Daeng's spirited and lovable personality, as seen through Taemin's shared moments with him.

Through his Instagram, Taemin not only showcases the unique personalities of Kkoong and Daeng but also shares a glimpse into his life as a loving pet owner.
