[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Recently released photos of Gaho and Jolly, Shar Pei dogs known as singer G-Dragon's (32, real name Kwon Ji-yong) pets, have sparked criticism that G-Dragon may be neglecting them due to their poor condition.
Photos of Gaho and Jolly staying at G-Dragon's parents' pension were posted on an online community recently. In the photos, Gaho and Jolly caught attention for their unkempt appearance, including long nails and eyebrows that were not properly groomed.
The post's author stated, "Gaho's eyebrows often poked his eyes, causing a lot of tears. He looked weak and lethargic, which was pitiful," adding, "Shar Pei dogs are very vulnerable to skin diseases and are greatly affected by temperature. They are not a breed to be raised outdoors."
The author also explained, "The dogs' nails have grown into the quick and need to be trimmed regularly. If nails are too long, trimming can cut into the quick, causing bleeding."
Regarding the other dog, Jolly, the author claimed, "I don't know who answered the phone, but when I called the pension and asked, they said Jolly was missing because he went out while the door was left open."
Netizens who saw this commented, "Isn't he neglecting the dogs after bringing them there? Even just taking dogs for walks helps manage their nails, so how little must they have been walked?" and "He said he would raise them but lost them."
Previously, G-Dragon had shown affection for his pets by appearing on broadcasts with Gaho, demonstrating his animal-loving side. Gaho was adopted by G-Dragon early in Big Bang's career and gained fame by appearing with him in photo shoots and broadcasts.
