Hank is following in the footsteps of her superstar mother, Rosé of BLACKPINK, by paving the way for 'K-Pups.'
On August 18, Hank made history as the First K-pop idol pet to grace the cover of Vogue's special issue dedicated to celebrity dogs, called Dogue. This groundbreaking moment firmly established Hank as a superstar in his own right.
The magazine highlighted the bond between Hank and Rosé, in addition to sharing a photoshoot of the famous canine along with an interview with the Korean superstar, in which she shares details about her dog's quiet yet glamorous life.
Hank often accompanied Rosé on magazine and video photoshoots, capturing the public's attention as a celebrity, posing for Tiffany & Co., SULWHASOO, RIMOWA, OIOI, Homeplus, Season's Greetings, and even for music releases like "-R- Album." All of this has led to "Hank" becoming, according to Vogue, the most-followed dog on Instagram and one of the most beloved pets on the entire internet.
The number of views and likes on TikTok for Vogue's recent post featuring Hank's dog is proof that the popular American fashion magazine was right in choosing this K-pop artist's dog to represent South Korea in the pet section.
Netizens are praising Hank and his heartwarming story, as he is a mixed-breed dog who battled abandonment, illness, and malnutrition until Rosé came to save him and adopt him, caring for him as if he were her own child. He was hospitalized for two months, and his story has helped promote the adoption of abandoned animals.
