1. [+2,137, -76] I understand that personal issues come up and that you can rehome your pet to a friend... but to do it publicly four times? Not even once or twice or three times but four times? And all of them are purebreds from pet shops?? That is habitual abandonment. I'm amazed that people aren't seeing the root of the issue here.
2. [+1,287, -52] Actor Cho Seung Woo-nim lost his dog of 15 years and it took him months of deliberation before he could go and visit a pet shelter and adopt another dog at risk of euthanization... This is how you treat pets like family!! Please stop buying from pet shops and adopt!!
3. [+1,022, -60] He needs to stop raising animals. It's completely abnormal for one person to have gone through so many pets.
4. [+513, -24] I felt uneasy when I saw him bring out a 3-month-old retriever. I wondered why, when his career was at its busiest point, that he had chosen to adopt now... The fact that his pets have been rehomed to family and friends is no different from abandonment. Cats and dogs barely live 15 years... why adopt them at all if you're only going to raise them for a few months or years of it? People aren't hating just because you're popular right now. Change that mindset immediately. We're just really disappointed.
5. [+298, -44] Do you have no sense of responsibility?.. A life is not an accessory. You can't just get rid of it when you're bored... and you call yourself a public figure, tsk tsk.
6. [+174, -4] I understand that things come up in life but it's always the people who abandon their pets to family and friends who say it's better for the pet that it happened that way. Retrievers are big dogs that need a lot of attention and care from the fur to their joints.. I have a feeling that Park Eun Suk will have another "issue come up" in his life where he needs to rehome this one too.
7. [+145, -4] I don't know what he's done with his past pets to judge but... as a dog owner myself, he claims he adopted Molly at 1 month and she's 3 months now but still isn't potty trained, and he locked her up in a small fence once he couldn't handle her. He didn't even try to potty train her, just said her name in a loud voice whenever she made a mistake and fenced her up right away... This is exactly the pattern of people who abandon animals do... They fail to properly train their pets in the first two months and then give up and abandon them. Molly didn't even have one toy in the house...
8. [+134, -8] If you're ending up rehoming multiple pets to friends.. you need to stop. You're an animal hoarder. Pets are not props!!! This is so ridiculous!
9. [+124, -5] Wow, I'm actually shocked that there are some people in the comments who don't think this is a big deal ㅎ abandoning a pet not once but multiple times is a severe issue. Stop claiming that his college classmate just revealed all of this because he's jealous or that this shouldn't be a scandal because he rehomed them... wow.. I'm scared that I might actually know people who think like this in real life.
10. [+95, -1] I'm shocked that he doesn't seem to understand why he needs to clarify this and that what he's doing is wrong. People aren't criticizing him solely because he's a celebrity. We all understand that you can adopt a dog and run into unforeseen circumstances where you need to rehome it. But any normal person would not adopt again after that and yet he did. It's clear that he treats the lives of these pets like something that he can pick and choose at when he wants, an object that he can just give away. And yet for him to write a clarification saying that he rehomed them to friends and he knows that they're all doing fine so he doesn't see what the issue is?? He must've left his respect in the womb!

1. [+1,465] Rehoming your pets is still abandoning them. And we're not just talking about one or two pets but 6-8 that he rehomed over and over while adopting new pets again. I don't think he quite understands how problematic that is and that's why people are mad. A clarification is necessary, especially since he's a TV star now 😭😭
2. [+930] What more is there to clarify, though.. He already rehomed six? other dogs and cats, and he's raising new dogs and cats now... what more is there to clarify? You only need to see one aspect of a person to know 10 more. He's just reaping what he sowed now... I don't get why people keep bringing up that people are just jealous that he's so successful and trying to take him down.. but no, this was something that was going to haunt him at any point in his career.
3. [+850] I read his clarification and he talked about how he rehomed his pet because he was living in a basement apartment and couldn't afford better living conditions. Then why did you adopt them in the first place? That's still abandonment. There are tons of cats and dogs in shelters who were abandoned for that very reason. And people keep trying to give him a pass for being a celebrity but he deserves all the criticism he's getting for buying and throwing away lives just for his comfort. You know what's harder than the life of a celebrity? The animals who are thrown away at the hands of such people.
4. [+705] When he first said on 'I Live Alone' that his dog is 3 months old, I immediately wondered if he only adopted her for the sake of the show. I was worried about what he planned to do with her once his guesting was over... it's amazing how my concerns turned into reality.
5. [+547] "People are pouncing now" I don't think that's a proper way to phrase your scandal
6. [+385] "People are pouncing now" no, you have it wrong. You weren't popular enough back then for people to care or find out but you're popular now and people are taking an interest. Please don't talk as if everyone is a jealous hater out to get anyone more successful than them. You need to realize that you rehoming your pets to friends still counts as abandoning them. Your choice of vocabulary leaves me with deep disappointment...
7. [+282] He's going to end his career with all this awkward wording. Rehoming one or two pets is already problematic but he's rehomed even 4-5 more. Even fans who've known him since his theater days found that problematic. And I don't get why his clarification is so aggressive when he's the one who's in the wrong for adopting all those animals and failing to take responsibility for them? You don't deserve any good fortune for what you did.
8. [+159] Fine, let's agree that rehoming is not abandonment. Then you shouldn't have adopted more animals after that... What's your game plan here? Adopt animals when you have free time, give them away to friends when you don't? Rinse and repeat?? It makes no sense that rehoming isn't abandonment because it is.
