Singer Hong Jin-young exercised a good influence by saving a small life.
On the 8th, Hong Jin-young posted on her social account, "After finishing today's performance and a late meeting at the office, I was heading home when I noticed a small owl sitting on the car of the company president with whom I had the meeting. At first, I thought it was interesting and that it would fly away soon, but when I approached it, it looked in very bad condition."
Hong Jin-young explained, "Thinking it might be dehydrated, I carefully brought some water, but the owl became startled and flapped its wings toward the road, and then it couldn't even fly properly and stopped in the middle of the road, crawling. The wildlife protection center wasn't available to contact since it was early morning, and I was worried it might get hit by a car if I left it on the road, so I decided to take it to a hospital. I called over 20 24-hour animal hospitals in downtown Seoul, but they all said that treating an owl would be difficult. I cannot express how relieved I felt when the last hospital I called told me to bring it in."
She continued, "There were no major issues on the X-ray, and after giving oxygen treatment and glucose, the owl gradually regained its strength. The doctor said it was likely to be hypoglycemic shock. Originally, I planned to contact the wildlife protection center in the morning to send the owl, but as I was leaving the hospital, I worried, 'What if I misprotect it since it's a natural monument...' and, just in case, I called the Seongdong District Office. Thankfully, I received an immediate response that they would come to pick it up, and I cannot express how reassured I felt."
Hong Jin-young expressed her gratitude by stating, "I have just safely handed over the owl, and the reason I'm writing this is solely to thank the director who willingly took on the treatment for this small life, and the Seongdong District Office for their quick response. Thanks to them, this precious life was able to be kept safe. I sincerely thank you."
Meanwhile, Hong Jin-young released her new song '13579' in May.
