Comedian Park Sung-kwang shared the heartbreaking update on his beloved dog Gwangbok-i's battle with illness on his birthday.

On the 15th, Park posted a short video on his Instagram, saying, "Happy birthday to our Gwangbok-i."

In the released video, Gwangbok-i is seen sleeping soundly on a cushion inside an oxygen tent (oxygen room) prepared for heart disease treatment. The elderly dog's difficult struggle with heart disease evokes deep sympathy. Along with the video, Park added, "As a birthday treat, let's give him a bath tomorrow. He hasn't been able to bathe for three weeks due to his heart condition."

Additionally, Park shared footage of taking Gwangbok-i out for a "birthday walk," letting the dog breathe fresh air, further showcasing his deep love for his pet.

Gwangbok-i previously gained viewers' affection when appearing alongside Park on MBC's variety show "Omniscient Interfering View." At that time, the dog was so popular that he and Park starred in more than four advertisements together. Now over 12 years old, Gwangbok-i has become an elderly dog. His wife, Lee Sol-i, recently revealed that Gwangbok-i's heart condition worsened, leading to pulmonary edema requiring emergency room visits for fluid drainage, adding to the sadness.

Meanwhile, Park married Lee Sol-i in 2020. The couple previously appeared on SBS's variety show "Same Bed Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny," sharing their daily life as a married pair.

Early last month, Lee Sol-i became the subject of unexpected divorce rumors following a post she shared on social media. At the time, she wrote, "There were times when I tried to persuade someone with different values all night long. There were days when I struggled to find words to express my feelings and forced them into the other person's heart." The post sparked various interpretations, leading some netizens to speculate about a divorce from Park Sung-kwang.

In response, Lee Sol-i firmly denied the rumors, stating, "It's completely untrue." Park also directly commented on his wife's social media post, reaffirming their enduring love.
