Actor Yoo Yeon Seok exercised a good influence by adopting Rita, an abandoned dog rescued from Aerinwon, which was called 'the hell of dogs'.

On November 20th, Yoo Yeon Seok revealed the procedure for adopting Rita, an abandoned dog, on his YouTube channel.

Yoo Yeon Seok, who happened to come across a puppy named Rita while on social media, went to the shelter 'The Bom Center' to adopt her himself.

Rita is from the infamous private shelter 'Aerinwon' where abuse took place. Abandoned and wounded by people, Rita was also brutally abused there, and as a result, she suffered from serious skin diseases. Fortunately, they were rescued through the animal rights group Kara and escaped from hell.

Rita was brighter and healthier than expected.

As soon as she met the new owner, Yoo Yeon Seok, Rita wags her tail and jumps happily.

Yoo Yeon Seok was moved by stroking Rita like that. He was thankful that she opened her heart to himself even though she was hurt many times by people.

Yoo Yeon Seok said, "It was so lovely. I fell in love with the first meeting," and decided to adopt.

Yoo Yeon Seok decides to take care of Rita, who must have been very difficult with a lot of responsibility. Many fans are applauding for his wonderful decision to give the abandoned dog a new life.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Yoo Yeon Seok has adopted an abandoned dog.

He is said to already have a Maltese stray dog ​​named Beanie.

It seems that Yoo Yeon Seok recently published the adoption on YouTube to empower animal rights groups that are running a campaign called 'Adopt, don't buy'.

IU has once again warmed hearts with her sweet and caring nature — this time by personally helping young actress Kim Tae Yeon get ready for her very first awards show.

The two actresses both played the same character, Ae Soon, in different stages of life in the Netflix drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines". IU played the adult version while Kim Tae Yeon touched viewers with her emotional performance as young Ae Soon.

Even though Kim Tae Yeon doesn’t have an agency yet, IU made sure the young star wouldn’t be alone. According to insiders, IU personally visited a dress shop with Kim Tae Yeon to help her pick out a beautiful outfit. She even helped with hair and makeup plans, making sure Tae Yeon could shine at the upcoming 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, where both actresses are nominated.

Kim Tae Yeon’s mom posted about the moment on Instagram, saying:

“Tae Yeon met IU unnie and told me to say thank you. Words aren’t enough to express how grateful we are. We were so surprised by her unexpected visit, and her thoughtful care truly touched our hearts. Thank you again to IU for the gift.”

The post also showed a happy Kim Tae Yeon holding IU’s present and choosing a dress — a moment that melted fans’ hearts.

IU is well-known in the industry for her generosity and kindness. While filming "You Have Done Well", she reportedly gave thoughtful gifts and created a warm, friendly vibe on set for everyone, from co-stars to staff.

The drama itself became a big hit, earning praise both in Korea and overseas. IU, Park Bo Gum, Yeom Hye Ran, Choi Dae Hoon, and Kim Tae Yeon all received Baeksang nominations — a huge achievement, especially for the young star.

Kim Tae Yeon, born in 2011, has been acting since she was little and appeared in dramas like Crash Landing on You, A Dog’s Love Today, and Gyeongseong Creature. But her powerful acting in "When Life Gives You Tangerines" truly made people cry, smile, and remember her name.

IU didn’t stop at helping Kim Tae Yeon. She also invited fellow cast members Moon So Ri, Park Hae Joon, Ahn Tae Rin, and more to her concert, sending them gifts to show her love and support.

In an earlier interview, IU talked about giving gifts to so many people. She humbly said,

“As I do more projects, there are more people I’m thankful for, but it’s not as hard as people think. I just hope the people receiving the gifts feel happy.”

Talking about the drama, she added,

“It was such a grand project. Just being part of it was a blessing. It made me think, ‘Ji Eun, you really experienced something amazing.’ I’m grateful I could work with such great people.”

Once again, IU has proved she’s not just a talented singer and actress — she’s also a true “Good Deed Queen.”
