Dog trainer Kang Hyung-wook openly shares everything from early anecdotes as a trainer to his recent worries on Radio Star. He candidly recounts the reality of the days when he trained by eating dog treats himself, behind-the-scenes stories of counseling for top stars' pets, and even a candid confession about impending hair loss, drawing both laughs and empathy.
The episode airing Wednesday night on the 26th on MBC Radio Star (planned by Kang Young-seon / directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee) is presented as the "Wild dol+eyes" special featuring Lee Min-woo, Kang Hyung-wook, Zion.T, and Kwon Ddo-ddo.
Kang Hyung-wook recalls his training center days, saying, "Old dog treats tasted similar to human food — edible for people. Now they're tailored to dog tastes." He reveals an anecdote about eating dog treats to save money at the time. He shares vivid experiences, including adding cheonggukjang to mask the fishy taste unique to some dog treats and even sharing food with dogs. He also reveals his favorite dog treat, prompting laughter.
Stories of counseling for star pets continue. He recounts that Blackpink's Jennie contacted him during her world tour saying she wanted to appear on his YouTube channel, and he frankly said, "At first I doubted whether it was really Jennie." He shares experiences counseling the pets of many celebrities such as Kim Hee-seon, and during the recording he ad-libbed counseling about Zion.T's dog "Haemuk" and Kwon Ddo-ddo's dog video, causing the cast to burst into laughter.
Kang Hyung-wook also confesses the unspeakable hardships of being a star trainer. Various episodes elicit laughter, including an incident with a customer who brought a puppy while he was getting a down perm at a hair salon, and an awkward story about being asked questions related to pets on a department store escalator.
He also says, "My vlogs don't get many views. People aren't interested in the human Kang Hyung-wook," objectively confessing about himself. He tells an anecdote about immediately visiting a hair-loss specialist after seeing his hair fall out a lot while showering recently. Kang Hyung-wook jokes, "I sprayed a little hair powder on today," lightening the mood on set.
You can see Kang Hyung-wook's charm, which delivers both laughs and empathy through real training experiences and candid confessions, on Radio Star airing tonight, the 26th.
