Like the rest of us, K-Pop idols often become pet parents and form special connections with their animals. One of the longest and most shared with fans relationships was between GOT7’s Youngjae and his dog Coco.
Originally, Mark and Youngjae were both considered Coco’s owners after they got her in May 2015. However, as the group aged and moved, Youngjae shifted to being her primary owner.
Fans of GOT7 often saw Coco as she lived and went almost everywhere with the group and became very fond of her.
On one memorable occasion, Coco was even accidentally involved in Youngjae spoiling “Fly” before it was released.

Youngjae’s dedication knew no bounds as he opened Coco her own Instagram account and even released a clothing and pet line called ArsxCoco featuring the pet.
