He shared, "Our beloved daughter Bell has become a star in the sky," expressing his sorrow.

Bae Jung-nam's pet dog Bell had appeared on the SBS variety show 'My Ugly Duckling.' In August 2022, Bell was diagnosed with acute disc disease, resulting in paralysis, and underwent surgery. Bae Jung-nam supported Bell's rehabilitation with a wheelchair for pets.
After nearly two years of rehabilitation, Bell's condition improved to the point where she could run, garnering much support from netizens. However, she recently underwent another surgery due to a malignant tumor, muscle cancer.
