TV CHOSUN's new variety show 'Dogs to Brag About' will premiere on Wednesday, November 11. In the first episode, Lee Yeon-bok and Ye Ji-won will share emotional stories regarding their fateful encounters with a dog facing euthanasia and a dog rescued from a forest fire, respectively.
In the premiere, Lee Yeon-bok will recount his first meeting with Saeng-il, a rescue dog he discovered on social media seven years ago. Saeng-il had been rescued from a sewer and was in a precarious state, unable to even open its eyes due to parvovirus enteritis. Upon hearing that the dog would face euthanasia in just two days if not adopted, Lee Yeon-bok decided to adopt him immediately. He shared that he felt a sense of kinship with Saeng-il, who could not see, as he himself has lost his sense of smell. Now that Saeng-il has grown healthy and transformed into a muscular "fitness dog," Lee Yeon-bok will use his skills as a Chinese cuisine master to prepare a special "smoky flavor jajangmyeon" for him.
Ye Ji-won will reveal how she met Mija, a rescue dog saved during the Jeongeup forest fire, while participating in volunteer work for abandoned dogs. Ye Ji-won confessed that she was moved when Mija, who had been through a difficult time and could not speak, immediately lunged into her arms as if seeking a mother's embrace. She added that since Mija arrived, conversations between her and her 91-year-old mother have increased, bringing a warm change to their daily lives. When Ye Ji-won introduced Mija's special skill—kissing—Mija caused a commotion on set by rushing forward to lick faces intensely, leading the cast to jokingly cover the dogs' eyes.
Kwon Eun-bi will showcase her intense dedication to training her dog, Geumbi. Geumbi demonstrated impressive skills, including successfully completing a high-difficulty mission of waiting for more than one minute even when treats were placed in front of her. Kwon Eun-bi revealed that she even received direct training from professional trainers to properly educate the energetic Geumbi. During the episode, Han Hye-jin will tease Kwon Eun-bi about her intense "motherly" passion for education, sparking laughter on set.
'Dogs to Brag About' is South Korea's first "pet bragging" variety show where celebrity owners appear with their dogs to showcase their special charms. The first episode will feature Lee Yeon-bok, Ye Ji-won, Brian, Kwon Eun-bi, and Kim Yong-bin as they engage in a competitive "bragging battle" over their beloved pets. The show is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, November 11.
