[theqoo] PEOPLE ARE SAYING JUNGKOOK ABANDONED HIS PET BY LEAVING IT AT THE TRAINING CENTER

Jungkook's dog, Bam, first appeared in In the SOOP Season 2 in October 2021 and quickly became loved by fans. But it’s been revealed that even now, after his discharge, Bam is still staying at the training center. Because of this, on top of the recent "deceiving fans" accusations, fans are bringing it up again.

"Jungkook-ah, take Bam home.."

"I was suspicious of this for such a long time now... No but he can bring home his kindergarten friend, his parents and his girlfriend (NEW!), but he's not bringing back Bam who is like a son to him? What is he doing? Seriously"

Back in December 2023, Jungkook responded on a livestream to an overseas fan's comment asking, "Did you abandon Bam?" He explained the situation as below. Since he spoke with the nuance that he would bring Bam back after returning from the military, some fans are disappointed, saying, "Why did you take him if you weren't going to take responsibility until the end?"

Jungkook:

Anyway, through acquaintances, I found a place that could take care of Bam.

But after he went there, he got so much healthier...

In a way, since I'm in a situation where I really can't take full responsibility right now,

I thought it would be better to leave Bam there where he can be taken care of, and I'll just go visit often.

But as you know, I've been really busy lately, going overseas often,

so honestly, I couldn't take care of him.

But the fortunate thing is, Bam doesn't really have separation anxiety regarding me.

And he really loves the people there,

and he has friends there too.

So because of that, I feel relieved.

Anyway, what I want to say is this:

If you really want a dog but you're not in a situation where you can care for one,

I want to tell you, absolutely do not bring one home.

I've experienced it myself now.

It's emotionally hard,

and as a person,

and for the dog, it's just not something you should do.

So honestly, I feel really sorry,

but at the same time, I'm thankful that he stays bright and happy even though I can't see him often.

So when I come back from the military, I'll act quickly, quickly.

And Bam, in a way, feels like that place is his second hometown.

So after spending about a month with me, playing together,

he can go back for a few days like a little trip,

and meet his friends again.

I think caring for him that way

would make both Bam and me more comfortable and happy.

And playing on grass like that

for big dogs or dogs like Bam who have hip or spine issues,

running on asphalt isn't good.

Since that place has space to run around,

I can go regularly, even a few times a month.

The people there are like family.

There’s even a space where we can barbecue together.

Every time I go, they prepare food for me.

We have barbecue parties...

When I come back from the military, really

I'll come back soon.

Anyway, since you asked about Bam,

I wanted to tell you what the situation is right now.

The idea that I "abandoned" Bam is really

nonsense, everyone.

I hope that was just a mistranslation.

I would never do that.

I plan to take care of him until the end.

And I don't think I'll raise another dog after Bam.

The time of a dog and the time of a human are so different.

Honestly, if you're going to raise a dog,

you really have to live thinking only about that friend.

You need a stable routine.

So, really, only bring a dog home if you can

share your life with them completely,

and if you have enough mental and time resources.

And Bam, from what I've heard, there's a 'rank #1' dog there at the center,

and Bam is kind of like his right-hand man now.

His bark got much deeper,

he exercises, his body's gotten a bit bigger, and he even got a bit taller.

I didn't think he'd grow more there.

I have to see Bam one more time before I go.

Dad's going to the military.

I'm sure they'll take such good care of him that I have no worries.

1. Hopeless

2. Didn't they even shot a photoshoot together?

3. I'm so sorry for humans, Bam-ahㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

4. So disappointing...

5. Animals have lives too...

6. That's why I oppose to celebrities raising animals

7. His tongue sure is long tsk tsk. He obviously abandoned his dog. Does he think that this term only applies to dogs that are thrown out in the streets?

8. The f*ckers defending him are seriously disgusting. So what, does having a dog with a slipped disc or joint issues mean every owner with money should do that? I'm seeing comments acting like perfectly decent dog owners who install non-slip mats or redo their flooring even in old apartments, and take their dogs to the hospital regularly, are idiotsㅋㅋㅋ No matter how obsessed you are with a celebrity, try using your brain. That this is better for the dog? Don't make me laugh

9. I hate this so much

10. Jungkook-ah, I can't shield this. You even have a dog tattoo so bring him home
