Bae Jung-nam bids farewell to pet dog "Bell"…"She became a star in the sky" heartbreaking news
Actor Bae Jung-nam once again shared heartbreaking news.
On the 29th, Bae Jung-nam announced on his personal channel, "My beloved daughter Bell became a star in the sky," announcing the sudden death of his pet dog. He said, "After going through rehabilitation and surgery and enduring hard times, I was so grateful and proud that she overcame them. I hoped she could live more comfortably now, but she suddenly collapsed from cardiac arrest and departed for doggy heaven," delivering the heartbreaking news.
Bae Jung-nam expressed gratitude for the comfort from fans and acquaintances, saying, "I am truly thankful that so many people have embraced my very kind and beautiful daughter Bell with love, support and encouragement."
This news comes about five months after the broadcast in April, making it even more heartbreaking. At the time, SBS My Little Old Boy showed the situation in which Bae Jung-nam's only pet dog Bell had health warning signs. On the show, a large lump was discovered on Bell's flank, surprising everyone. Test results showed a malignant tumor called "rhabdomyosarcoma." Watching the lump grow day by day, Bae Jung-nam confessed, "I'm afraid it will metastasize," and the mother panelists in the studio likewise reddened with tears and could not hide their worry.
Bell had already miraculously recovered after multiple surgeries and rehabilitation in 2022 for an acute cervical disc condition. But this time, to remove the malignant tumor, she had to go back under the knife for the first time in two and a half years. Faced with choosing between general anesthesia surgery, which is a heavy burden for an older dog, and a local anesthesia procedure that carries less risk but a possibility of recurrence, Bae Jung-nam fell into deep 고민. In the end, the surgical scenes were shown on broadcast, leaving viewers anxious.
Bell, who seemed to have overcome the crisis and was recovering, sadly died suddenly of cardiac arrest. Netizens have sent messages of consolation and support, saying, "It hurts more because everyone knows how much Jung-nam loved Bell," "I hope she runs happily in doggy heaven," and "Stay strong; the memories you shared will comfort you for life."
