[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] The production team of 'Dogs Are Incredible' expressed their position regarding the habitual abandonment suspicions of the Border Collie named Kobi's owner, saying "We have no choice but to wait."

On the 24th, Lee Tae-heon, PD of KBS 2TV's 'Dogs Are Incredible' (Gaehulryung), stated through multiple media outlets, "There has been no contact from the guardians after the broadcast."

PD Lee said, "If the guardians of Kobi and Dambi understand the situation (issues) revealed through the broadcast and request help, we plan to consult with trainer Kang Hyung-wook to provide assistance," adding, "Trainer Kang Hyung-wook also felt regretful after seeing Kobi and Dambi's situation during filming."

He continued, "The production team and trainer Kang Hyung-wook present solutions to the guardians of troubled dogs on 'Gaehulryung,' and if they accept them, we work together to resolve the issues," explaining, "We cannot force the guardians. Regarding Kobi and Dambi's case, we have no choice but to wait."

He added, "It is a regrettable and unfortunate situation, but we respect the opinions of the guardians," and "As revealed through the broadcast, we believe these guardians can control the situation and that things will improve."

Earlier, on the broadcast of 'Gaehulryung' on the 22nd, the story of the Border Collies Kobi and Dambi was introduced. During the broadcast, trainer Kang Hyung-wook even knelt before the guardians and suggested adopting Dambi elsewhere.

However, the guardian refused the adoption proposal, saying, "I cannot send away Dambi, whom I raised like a child." The guardian also said, "I thought we should try," and "Since the two dogs are still young, they can change significantly through training."
