K-Pop Star Lee Hyori Advocates for Dog Adoption on Instagram

K-pop icon Lee Hyori has taken to Instagram to advocate for dog adoption.

On the 28th, Lee Hyori posted on her Instagram, "I know it's difficult for everyone... but if you have a little space, take the courage!!" along with two photos and a video.

The shared posts feature a Jindo dog awaiting adoption, seen limping on its right paw. Lee Hyori shared details about the dog's age and name, emphasizing that the dog is "smart, has a good temperament, and gets along well with smaller dogs," adding that it is "not aggressive, calm, and clean."

Lee Hyori also mentioned, "The dog has a sore leg, so it has a usual path at home, and if you lay mats along its frequent routes, it doesn't move much."

Since adopting her first dog, Soonshim, from the Anseong Pyeonggang Princess Shelter in 2010, Lee Hyori has cared for a total of six rescue dogs. After Soonshim crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020, she currently lives with Seoksam, Guana, Kokkam, Midal, and Gosil.

Meanwhile, after marrying musician Lee Sang-soon in 2013, Lee Hyori lived in Jeju Island for 11 years before moving to a $60 million mansion in Pyeongchang-dong, Seoul, last year.
