TV CHOSUN’s “Proud Dog” MC Heo Kyung-hwan expresses shock at the astonishing skills of genius dogs.

TV CHOSUN’s new variety show “Proud Dog,” which premieres on Wednesday, the 11th, is Korea’s first “pet dog bragging” variety program in which star dog owners appear with their pets to showcase their unique charms. In the first episode, Lee Yeon-bok, Yee Ji-won, Brian, Kwon Eun-bi, and Kim Yong-bin appear with their dogs to compete in a “My Dog Brag Battle.”

According to the production team, the episode features genius and gifted dogs, including Jack, who rides a skateboard through obstacles, and Coco, who knows around 100 Hangul words. First, Jack gets on the board, kicks the ground with its hind legs to gain speed, and dodges obstacles along an S-shaped course. As it shifts its center of gravity to execute U-turns and braking, reactions such as “Is it a robot?” pour in.

Coco appears perched on its owner’s shoulder and flawlessly picks out Hangul word cards. Brian exclaims, “It’s AI,” unable to stop talking, while MC Heo Kyung-hwan also expresses doubt, saying, “I can’t believe it. It feels like a rigged show.”

The production team stated, “Coco perfectly executes an on-the-spot mission of finding the card with ‘Heo Kyung-hwan’ written on it among multiple word cards, giving everyone goosebumps. MC Han Hye-jin said, ‘This one seems human,’ upon seeing Coco find a designated number from Jenga blocks numbered 1 to 45.”
