Actor Bae Jung-nam wept over the sudden farewell with his 'only family', Bell.
The preview released on the 12th for SBS's 'My Ugly Duckling' showed Bae Jung-nam crying while holding his dog Bell, who had suddenly passed away.
He shed tears, saying, "Are you sleeping?", "Wake up," but he ultimately wailed while holding Bell, who did not respond.
As he apologized, saying "I'm sorry," the studio of 'My Ugly Duckling' was also filled with sadness.
His dog Bell was known as Bae Jung-nam's 'only family'. He has shared Bell's rehabilitation and illness journey through broadcasts and his SNS.
Bell underwent surgery for acute cervical disc herniation in 2022 and miraculously recovered, but was recently diagnosed with a malignant tumor, muscle cancer, and underwent surgery.
Last month, Bae Jung-nam announced on his SNS that Bell had crossed the rainbow bridge, explaining, "After going through rehabilitation and surgery, I was so grateful and proud, hoping she could live comfortably, but she suddenly collapsed from a heart attack and left for dog heaven."
He expressed his heartfelt feelings, saying, "Thank you so much to everyone who has loved, supported, and encouraged my very kind and beautiful daughter Bell. Now, please don't be in pain anymore and play freely over there. Thank you for coming to me, my daughter. Daddy loves you very much."
