In "Proud Dog," actress Hwang Seok-jeong raises a romance rumor about MC Heo Kyung-hwan, sending the set into chaos.
"Proud Dog," a TV Chosun variety show premiering on the 11th at night, is Korea's first "pet dog bragging" variety program in which star owners appear with their pets to showcase their unique charms. Stars such as Lee Yeon-bok, Yee Ji-won, Brian, Kwon Eun-bi, Kim Yong-bin, Hwang Seok-jeong, and Choi Hyun-woo take the stage with their pets to engage in a no-holds-barred "My Dog Bragging Battle."
Hwang Seok-jeong, a scene-stealer with an overwhelming presence, draws attention by appearing alongside her pet dog Hoom, who boasts a mysterious aura and strikingly white fur. Hoom, dressed in a dignified pink dress and displaying an elegant posture, approaches Choi Hyun-woo, seated next to Hwang Seok-jeong, and acts affectionately. Soon after, when Hoom goes to Slippy, calling out "Come here," and acts cute, Hwang Seok-jeong brags about Hoom's unique "flirting skills," saying, "This one only goes to men. That is its pride."
However, when Hoom goes over to Heo Kyung-hwan, it shows an indifferent reaction unlike before, merely shaking its body, leaving everyone puzzled. Watching this, Hwang Seok-jeong tilts her head and asks, "Mr. Kyung-hwan is handsome, so why is it like that?" before throwing a direct question: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
When Hwang Seok-jeong says that Hoom does not approach men who have women around them, Heo Kyung-hwan looks flustered and asks back, "Does the dog even know about your relationship status?"
In response, Slippy adds a joke saying, "It seems you do have a girlfriend," which suddenly sparks a "romance rumor" incident involving Heo Kyung-hwan, causing an uproar on set.
Meanwhile, magician Choi Hyun-woo draws attention by introducing his pet dog Pang-i as "Cupid." In response to the question, "Aren't you actually alone?" Choi Hyun-woo answers, "If Pang-i goes for a walk or wanders around and approaches a woman, could I also strike up a conversation with her?" Eventually, Choi Hyun-woo seriously declares his intention to date by saying, "I now need to find Pang-i's mother," eliciting laughter.
Additionally, Choi Hyun-woo introduces Pang-i, who has accompanied him everywhere since its birth, noting that the dog not only serves as a companion for dating but also acts as a magic assistant. In particular, Pang-i is mesmerized by a single gesture from Choi Hyun-woo's hand, astonishing everyone. Moreover, when Choi Hyun-woo wakes up Pang-i, which had been lying still with its eyes closed, the dog suddenly opens its eyes wide, turning the set into chaos. The star owners also attempt to hypnotize their respective pets, sparking curiosity about what will happen.
The first episode of "Proud Dog" airs at 10 p.m. on the 11th.
