KIDIBI on 'G-Dragon's Neglected Pet' Controversy: "They Should Never Be Allowed to Have Animals Again"
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Rapper Kidibii (30, real name Kim Bomi) criticized G-Dragon's controversy over neglecting his pet dog, calling him "people who replace animals like fast fashion." Fast fashion refers to the clothing industry that quickly produces and distributes items according to the latest trends.
On the 27th, Kidibii posted on her social network service (SNS), saying, "I hope there will be laws that prevent people who replace animals like fast fashion from ever raising animals again. I am so sorry as a human," expressing her criticism.
She added, "The perception of G-Dragon caused by my post is one thing, but it is also true that Shar Pei became popular because of G-Dragon. He is such an influential person," and said, "I do not intend to withdraw my expression of frustration toward all people who bring in difficult breed dogs because they are cute when young and then send them away somewhere, not just Shar Pei." Shar Pei is the breed of 'Gaho' and 'Jolly,' the dogs raised by G-Dragon.
She continued, "Since G-Dragon is such a busy person, I think he should have considered his future schedule when bringing the dogs. This is just my regret," and added, "Because of his great influence, I hope he has taken the best path. I wish he had shown how wonderful it would have been to continue loving them right beside him in some way, even as they grew bigger like when they were puppies."
Earlier, G-Dragon was embroiled in controversy over neglecting his pet dogs, mainly on online communities. One community user posted several photos, saying, "(G-Dragon's dogs) looked weak and limp, which was pitiful."

The released photos showed G-Dragon's dogs, known as Gaho and Jolly, left neglected in an outdoor kennel, sparking criticism from netizens. The author of the post claimed, "Gaho's eyebrows often poked his eyes, causing a lot of tears. The Shar Pei breed is very vulnerable to skin diseases and is greatly affected by temperature. It is not a breed to be raised outdoors."
