Actress Kim Go Eun, who is passionately performing in the second season of "Yumi's Cells" on TVING, adopted a sick, abandoned dog and spread positive influence.

Kim Go Eun's heartwarming story was relayed by Mr. A, a volunteer at the Dangjin shelter for abandoned dogs, on June 27.

Mr. A claims that Kim Go Eun is caring for an abandoned dog named Wori.

Wori, who had been abandoned in a sparsely populated area, carried goblin grass and ticks into the shelter. Wori's age at the time was estimated to be six months.

Wori was unable to walk normally, and the veterinarian suspected that the cochlea in his ear had been damaged or that he had a congenital brain defect.

In reality, taking in a sick, abandoned dog is difficult. Due to high medical costs, abandoned sick dogs are frequently euthanized because they are not adoptable.

Nevertheless, Kim Go Eun extended a friendly hand to Wori.

Wori was diagnosed with incurable diseases including diencephalon and brain prolapse as a result of bringing Kim Go Eun to the hospital to find out.

Nevertheless, Kim Go Eun decided to live with the unwell Wori as a family member, and Mr. A thanked her for making such a courageous choice.

Those who heard the story praised the extraordinary personality of Kim Go Eun.

When it was announced that Kim Go Eun had adopted the stray dog Wori, and recognitions poured in, she expressed her extraordinary resolve by saying, "I will raise you well".

In contrast, in addition to Kim Go Eun, there are numerous celebrities who have exercised positive influence by adopting abandoned dogs.

Lee Hyori, along with Hyuna, Dawn, Beenzino, and Sung Hoon, adopted stray dogs and formed a new family.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
