Actor Koo Sung Hwan's beloved dog Kkotboon crosses the rainbow bridge

Actor Koo Sung Hwan's beloved dog Kkotboon, who gained fame through her various appearances on MBC's 'I Live Alone', has crossed the rainbow bridge. 

On February 21 KST, Koo Sung Hwan delivered the sudden news via his Instagram, writing,

"Hello, this is Koo Sung Hwan.

I don't know how many times I've written and deleted the words to this post. Even as I write them, it pains me to admit that I'm writing these words and I just don't want to believe it.

My daughter, my sister, and my best friend Kkotboon crossed the rainbow bridge on February 14. 

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for all the love that Kkotboon received in her lifetime. If I'd known that she would be gone so soon, I would have given her more yummy things to eat and taken her out on more walks. I'm left with so many regrets.

My sweetest and aegyo-filled Kkotboon.. thank you, I'm sorry, and I love you so much. Let's meet again one day, it's a promise! Until then, eat well, play a lot with all your friends there, and be happy.. I love you so so much.

Once again, thank you to all those who loved and cherished Kkotboon.

I will be back healthy and well once my heart is at peace."

Kkotboon first made her TV appearance as Koo Sung Hwan's pet of 10-years on an episode of MBC's 'I Live Alone' in May of 2024. Since then, she has become a beloved, honorary cast member of the show along with Koo Sung Hwan, also going on to appear on programs like 'You Quiz on the Block' and taking part in photoshoots, advertisements, etc.
