'Gabjil Controversy'Kang Hyungwook tried to come back, but there's no 'Dog Excellent' in the end. Tentatively abolished



The controversy over Kang Hyung-wook, a pet trainer who is called the "President of the Dog" (President of the Dog + President), seems to remain. In the end, it was decided to take steps to temporarily abolish the program 'Dogs Are Excellent' centered on Kang Hyung-wook. In the end, the controversy over Kang Hyung-wook created the program Pungbi Baksan.

In May, a job search platform revealed that all employees of the Bodum Company represented by Kang Hyung-wook were continuously gaslighted and blasphemed by Kang Hyung-wook and suffered mental damage such as panic disorder, anxiety disorder, and depression.

The revelers "retired and continued to go to psychiatry with panic disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, etc. "The spirit was devastated by the continuous gaslighting, defamation of character, and out-of-work requirements of the CEO of the marital relationship."




A total of 25 reviews about Bodum Company have been posted on the job search platform, with a rating of just 1.8 out of 5 and negative reviews of 1 point from 2019. The job-seeking platform, which has become a venue for revelation, has a blind spot that it is not sure whether it is true because it can leave a message without having to certify whether it has actually worked for a company, but it has recently been highlighted by rumors that the Bodum Company is going out of business.

Since then, Kang Hyung-wook has refuted allegations of CCTV surveillance, messenger surveillance, overdue wages, and neglect of his dog Leo through his YouTube channel.

Kang Hyung-wook, who remained silent after the controversy, explained CCTV surveillance, messenger surveillance, overdue wages, and suspicions of neglecting his dog Leo on YouTube channel 'Kang Hyung-wook's Pedestal TV' on May 24. He said "I don't know what it would be like as a trainer, but I don't think I was that good of a representative. That's why this happened now. I apologize enough for what I have to apologize for, and if I have to be punished, I will be punished sweetly" he stated his position.

Nevertheless, another informant's revelation that he was a retiree from the Bodum Company continued, increasing the impact. An informant who said he worked with Kang said, `Kang was obsessed with CCTV. With six people working, there were nine CCTVs, and they were for staff surveillance", "Staff protested, but Kang Hyung-wook said 'Do it according to the law'.", "My hands shook as if I were a criminal" He said, "The back."

Another informant was instructed to go to the bathroom of a nearby cafe around 3 o'clock. I forced myself. It did not explain why. Others say it's like a defecation drill. It doesn't seem to be treated like a human being."

On top of that, there was a shocking claim that he was asked to lick and wipe the dog's rice bowl himself. In addition, two informants filed a complaint against Kang Hyung-wook and his wife to the Namyangju Nambu Police Station on charges of violating the Information and Communication Network Act.

In the end, in the aftermath, 'Dog Excellent' also canceled the broadcast for four weeks, and the sea resumed broadcasting on June 17. KBS said at the time that `Kang Hyung-wook will not appear in the future recording, and the successor is currently undecided.'

But with ratings halved, the crisis in the program continued. According to viewer rating research firm Nielsen Korea, the resumed broadcasting of 'Dog Excellent' recorded a 1.6 percent viewer rating based on households nationwide. This is a 1.6%P decrease compared to 3.2% of broadcasts on the 13th of last month, before the cancellation. Analysts say that as Kang Hyung-wook, a program-oriented figure, is absent, the ratings have plummeted.

Since then, Kang Hyung-wook has tried to return to his main job on the 6th. On his YouTube channel 'Kang Hyung-wook's Pedestal TV', he suggested a solution to the concerns of his dog's guardian and advised his attitude.

Despite Kang Hyung-wook's attempt to return to his main job, the program was decided to be temporarily abolished. KBS2'Dog Excellence'CP Park Seok-hyung will introduce a new pet program after the provisional abolition of \'Dog Excellence' in Sports Chosun on the 8th.

Regarding the name of the program, "It comes out as a different name from "Dog Excellent", but regarding the specific concept and format "Nothing has been decided yet.", he declined to comment. Accordingly, CP Park's position is that the organization and cast are still in the planning stage. In other words, 'Dog Excellent', which first aired in November 2019, was abolished after 4 years and 8 months.
