1. [+2,075, -100] Before he became famous, I came across his post about rehoming his cat because he was too busy to raise it. We exchanged contact info and I received videos and pictures of the cat. I then decided to adopt the cat and deposited my fee. A few days before I was set to take it home, I asked if it was vaccinated and up to date and he told me that he never took it to the vet and that he vaccinated it personally at home so he doesn't have any record of it... Well, I realized that I wouldn't be able to tell what its health condition was like ㅜㅜ so I gave up my deposit and told him I wasn't willing to take the risk. I told him to just buy it some treats with my deposit...
2. [+1,711, -89] All of his pets are purebreds that look like they were bought straight from a pet shop. As a fellow pet owner myself, he doesn't give me the impression that he respects pets as their own life. I agree with what his college classmate said... do not cosplay as an animal lover. I no longer want to see him in the media anymore. Please stop showing off your purebred pets on 'I Live Alone'. If anything, we should be putting up warnings on the episode cautioning people from adopting pets without research. All of the purebreds that are featured on TV end up being popular choices that eventually end up abandoned once the trend dies.
3. [+1,356, -61] I felt suspicious about why he suddenly had a 3 month old retriever puppy just right before his filming for the episode... and I guess my concerns were accurate... ㅡㅡ;;;
4. [+384, -125] Wow, I never watched his drama so I only found out about him through 'I Live Alone' but now I really feel bad for him. He gave up his citizenship to act in Korea and even served in the army to finally get his name some spotlight on TV and now some college classmate comes out of the woodwork to report something that is totally ending his image ㅠㅠ what a scary world
5. [+259, -15] I don't think he's an animal hoarder... he just treats animals like props. His classmate is right. He treats pets like a new bag or accessory that he abandons when he gets bored of. He's always buying up the latest, trendiest breeds, and it's clear from his history that he has a pattern of abandoning and buying pets.

1. [+425, -23] If you decided not to keep your pet and rehomed it away, that's still abandoning your pet. Just because you didn't throw it out on the streets doesn't mean you didn't abandon it so don't deny it.
2. [+368, -185] I don't know why everyone's out to get him. Seems like anyone who earns some fame on TV causes people to start looking for flaws in them.
3. [+180, -12] It feels a bit weird that he ended up rehoming all those pets to other friends. So does he only keep them around when they're small and cute and then give them away to friends later? His response feels very irresponsible when we're talking about actual lives here.
4. [+150, -33] Well, if he gave them all away to friends, I want them all to prove that they have them too
5. [+101, -1] Pets are not dolls that you can buy up and throw away when they get old
6. [+46, -3] I'm always suspicious when I see celebrities show up on TV with pets that are three months old. Feels fishy that they decided only now to get a pet when they knew they'd be on camera. It's funny that they all end up being rehomed to "friends" too.
7. [+36, -2] Considering that he rehomed multiple pets, he should've known to stop adopting more if he couldn't handle them
8. [+26, -1] His excuse doesn't make sense. Why would you keep adopting more pets when you rehomed some already?
9. [+28, -4] I enjoyed his episode on 'I Live Alone' so... I'm disappointed ㅠ pets are not toys. Unless you're willing to be with them for life... please do not adopt them at all.
