Super Junior member Lee Teuk shared the news of his companion dog's battle with illness, expressing his wishes for a speedy recovery.

On the 27th, Lee Teuk announced on his Instagram, "Kung-i was so sick I was in a daze, and now I am cautiously sharing the news," revealing the health status of his dog, Kung-i.

Lee Teuk said, "At first, we visited the hospital every month to check for hypothyroidism, but the day after our last visit, Kung-i's condition was different from usual. For three days straight, the dog couldn't sleep, kept waking me up, and just sat there, appearing to struggle even to breathe."

He continued, "In my anxiety, I made an emergency appointment at the hospital and told Kung-i, 'Let's go to the hospital.' Usually, the dog would run away because it was afraid of hospitals, but that day, it ran to the door first as if urging us to go quickly. I desperately hoped it was nothing, but as soon as I received the diagnosis of 'heart disease and pulmonary edema,' my mind went blank, and tears poured out right there."

Lee Teuk also added, "I visited the hospital every day with a heavy heart. When I returned home and researched pulmonary edema, I thought about how much pain and hardship Kung-i must have endured, and I couldn't help but cry again out of guilt. I even felt self-reproach and resentment, thinking, 'We visited the hospital every month, so why didn't I notice the warning signs that appeared 4 to 5 months ago?'"

Fortunately, it was reported that Kung-i has now passed the critical situation and is recovering.

Lee Teuk stated, "Fortunately, Kung-i endured that dangerous emergency situation well. Now, the dog is taking the medication prescribed by the heart specialist hospital and enjoying peaceful happiness by taking walks together in quiet places without people around."

He also explained, "Every night, I massage Kung-i and pray, 'I will give you my life, Kung-i, please get healthy.' The whole family stays right by Kung-i's side, doing their best to help with health management. They say that in a critical situation, things can go wrong within two hours, and it is difficult to survive more than two years after the onset of the disease, but with proper care, the dog can live much longer and healthier."

He further said, "Kung-i is my everything, so I plan to do everything I can to ensure Kung-i can live healthily and happily. Many people offered help and information regarding Kung-i's illness. The waiting list for appointments at Seoul's major heart specialist hospitals is extremely long, and some people even generously offered to give up their own precious early appointment slots. I carefully read and received great strength from each and every warm piece of information and kindness you sent."

He then expressed gratitude to fans, saying, "Please pray for and support our Kung-i so that it can gain more strength in the future."
