Lee Woong-jong, the new face replacing 'Dog President' Kang Hyung-wook, introduced himself as an 'outdated trainer.'
During the production presentation of KBS2's new entertainment program 'Dog is Wonderful' (hereinafter 'Dog Wonderful') held online on the afternoon of the 1st, trainer Lee Woong-jong said, "I will go back to the past and reveal clearer and more definite training methods."
The trainer stated, "There are various training methods. I thought it was a really good show to see how they delicately care for the difficult parts in 'Dog Wonderful,'" and added, "In fact, when I received the request to appear on the program, I said, 'Really? I'm an outdated trainer, is that okay?' but they said 'No' and praised me. So I decided to do it."
Lee Kyung-kyu mentioned, "We applied the school system exactly as it is, with many homeroom teachers and a head of the department. Therefore, whether you graduate or not is the most important thing. It might be possible not to graduate," and added, "Admission is very difficult. We only allow admission when there is a real problem. If you get into our school, you will take good care of the puppies with love and the spirit of service from the teachers."
The program, which first aired in November 2019, has been at the forefront of improving mature pet culture by providing solutions to troubled dogs with trainer Kang Hyung-wook and Lee Kyung-kyu. It has established itself as a popular program, winning the KBS Entertainment Awards Hot Issue Entertainment Program Award in 2020, the Producer Special Award (Kang Hyung-wook) in 2021, the Best Entertainer Award (Jang Do-yeon) in the Show/Variety category, and the Entertainer of the Year Award (Lee Kyung-kyu) and Popularity Award (Jang Do-yeon) in 2022.
In this revamped 'Dog Wonderful,' a troubled dog academy will be established, starting various 1:1 customized training with homeroom teacher trainers. Principal Lee Kyung-kyu, head of the department Young-tak, health teacher veterinarian Kim Hyun-joo, homeroom teacher legendary trainer Lee Woong-jong, MacGyver trainer Kwon Hyuk-pil, national representative trainer Yang Eun-soo, and desire trainer Choi Min-hyuk have come together.
