Since last year, whenever she had a performance, Jang had been leaving her dog at a hotel about an hour away from her home. Despite the distance, she trusted the place enough to leave her dog there. However, after about 10 hours of boarding, her dog Camus died from heatstroke. It is reported that the trainer put the dog in a cage and covered it with a blanket to calm it down, and turned off the air conditioner, which led to this incident.

Jang Pilsoon explained, "Camus, who seemed anxious when I was not around, used to choose special care where the director and staff would sleep together with him on the staff quarters bed. Camus was admitted on the afternoon of July 23 (I usually leave him the day before for my schedule in Busan on the 24th), and the next morning, he passed away there with symptoms like severe dehydration and heatstroke."

Upon hearing the news, Jang immediately took a flight back to Jeju and headed to the hospital. She said, "When I arrived at the hospital, Camus was already cold and stiff," and appealed, "Due to the late contact from the hotel owner, I was unable to be with Camus, who was like a painful finger to me, even in his final moments."

Jang expressed her anger, saying, "I think of our Camus, who was left in a dark place, locked in a kennel for hours in a stuffy car without a drop of water, covered on all sides with a thick cotton blanket, thirsty, struggling to breathe, anxious, in pain, desperately searching for me in that tremendous fear." She continued, "As a protector of a life, I feel sorry for not being able to protect him. My heart trembles and tears fall uncontrollably at any time." She also urged, "Please cherish the handling of life. The changes we make. This cannot be accepted as a mere mistake. Camus is no longer here."
