, ‘Singer Wheesung (42, real name Choi Wheesung) openly confesses that he bought a pet from a pet shop, sparking a controversy.’, ‘On the afternoon of the 12th, Wheesung brought up the story of his recent new family member, a pet dog named ‘Bbung’, on his Instagram. He captivated attention by stating, “Bbung was actually brought from a pet shop.”‘, ‘He also candidly admitted, “Many people ask me, ‘Why didn’t you adopt a stray dog?’ I didn’t know much about the process of adoption or purchase. However, because of people who kept questioning me extensively later on, I realized, ‘Ah, this is how it is.'”‘,
‘Eventually, Wheesung revealed that ‘Bbung’ is a mix breed of Maltese and Poodle, known as a ‘Maltipoo’. He pointed out that the pet shop misrepresented it as a Poodle. He criticized the shop’s behavior, saying, “That pet shop in Gangnam had very convincing promotions. They even guarantee a 100% refund if it’s not purebred. When I brought the dog home, even the salesperson there didn’t know much when asked various questions… boldly labeled as a Poodle, there were many puzzling aspects. Now I see that it is a ‘Maltipoo’.”‘, ‘He continued, “As you all know, my first deceased pet Chilbogi a while back was a mix breed. I had no fuss about breeds at all. I just wanted to bring a healthy dog. I realized that if it had been someone who was sensitive about breeds, what would have happened to this dog, if it wasn’t me. It’s something to seriously consider.”‘, ‘Explaining his reason for revealing the fact of purchasing from a pet shop amidst the current social atmosphere of ‘adopt, don’t buy’, he emphasized, “Every time I go for a walk, and people keep asking about the breed and go on about whether our dog is purebred, it’s annoying to listen to all that, and dog owners are inconvenienced. I hope that prospective dog owners who are adamant about assessing the breed do not impulsively bring pets home.”‘, ‘Wheesung expressed his affection for ‘Bbung,’ saying, “This little one is my savior now,” and added, “I need to go for breed registration modification. I will frequently update about Bbung in the future.”‘, ‘In 2020, Wheesung was charged with habitual use of propofol. The following year, he received a sentence of one year in prison, a suspended sentence of two years, 40 hours of community service, and 40 hours of drug treatment classes.’, ‘▼ Below is the full text of Wheesung’s writing.’, ‘Bbung was actually brought from a pet shop’, ‘Many people ask me intensively why I didn’t adopt a stray dog,’, ‘but I didn’t know much about the process of adoption or purchase,’, ‘and because of those who asked questions extensively later on,’, ‘I realized, ‘Ah, this is how it is.”, ‘That pet shop in Gangnam had very convincing promotions,’, ‘like a 100% refund guarantee if it’s not purebred, LOL’, ‘The salesperson at that place didn’t know much when I brought the dog home,’, ‘and boldly labeled as a Poodle, there were many puzzling aspects,’, ‘Now I see it’s a Maltipoo’, ‘As you all know, my first deceased pet Chilbogi was a mix breed,’, ‘I had no fuss about breeds at all’, ‘I just wanted to bring a healthy dog,’, ‘I realized that if it had been someone who was sensitive about breeds,’, ‘what would have happened to this dog?
