Yeontan was not only a cherished companion to Kim Taehyung, but a symbol of unwavering love, loyalty, and comfort to millions across the world. His brave spirit, gentle presence, and quiet strength touched countless hearts — making him a beloved figure far beyond the boundaries of home.

To honour his life and the joy he brought into the world, we are dedicating a Memorial Gate in Ashdown Forest, the storied landscape that inspired A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh tales — a place where imagination, peace, and remembrance meet. This gate will stand as both a tribute and a threshold: a place where people may pause, enter, reflect, and feel welcomed by the enduring warmth of Yeontan’s spirit.

The gate will carry a bespoke commemorative plaque, installed in partnership with the Ashdown Forest Foundation, ensuring Yeontan’s memory is woven into a living, natural space accessible to everyone. Visitors will be able to encounter this heartfelt dedication in person — whether they come from nearby or from across the globe, carrying Yeontan and Taehyung in their hearts.

Your contribution will help fund the creation, installation, and long-term care of this memorial gate — allowing Yeontan’s legacy to be rooted in a forest of stories, comfort, and connection.

Together, we will create a lasting tribute — something gentle, meaningful, and open to all.

A gate that welcomes. A memory that endures. It will be a UK corner for Kim Taehyung.
