Speaker A
[(Presenting a performance in front of the Dog President)] Sit. [(Performing in front of the Dog President)] V sign, no.
Speaker A
[(Performing in front of the Dog President)] V sign. Nose! Bang! [Hyuji has collapsed] - Oh, can he do this too? - Good job!
Speaker A
Who taught him that? [(Feeling proud)] I taught everything. [(Feeling proud)] How? I don't have friends, so I just spend all day with him.
Speaker A
[(Revealing the narrow social circle to the world)] Suddenly. [(Revealing the narrow social circle to the world)] Just with him.
Speaker A
[(Revealing the narrow social circle to the world)] Really, all day long with this one, doing this and that.
Speaker A
[Kang Hyung-wook's dog-guest show] Hello, I'm trainer Kang Hyung-wook. High-class. It's a talk show about companion dogs.
Speaker A
[(Today's dog-guest)] Our dog has joined us [(Today's dog-guest)] on the show today. [31st proud dog on the dog-guest show] [Hyuji/2 years old/Episode 31 dog-guest] Today, just by looking, the breed is Maltese.
Speaker A
[(Energy bursting from a small frame)] Seeing it tug, it seems like a mix of Malinois and Maltese, a Maltinois.
Speaker A
[(Energy bursting from a small frame)] Wow. [(Energy bursting from a small frame)] I heard someone came here with this little guy today.
Speaker A
What we commonly refer to as a handler. [Summoning Hyuji's guardian] Let's invite them over.
Speaker A
Owner, guardian, please come out. [Lee Chae-young/Hyuji's guardian] Hello. Hello, hello, hello. I'm Hyuji's handler.
Speaker A
I'm Hyuji's handler, hello. Nice to meet you, Hyuji's handler. [Our mom] Nice to meet you, Hyuji's handler.
Speaker A
[Our mom] As soon as our Hyuji arrived, he greeted everyone so beautifully. And his face is just so pretty.
Speaker A
[(Hyuji with both beauty and brains)] He doesn't bark or act aggressively at all. [(Already best buddies)] We played together for quite a while.
Speaker A
This is his absolute favorite toy. Ah, so this is his favorite, huh? [(Tremendous energy)] It's hard to believe a Maltese would tug like that.
Speaker A
[(Tremendous energy)] He's got some serious strength. I call him a Dobermann, you know? Dobermann. [Maltese?] He thinks he's a Dobermann.
Speaker A
[Dobermann] He thinks he's a Dobermann. Really? Yes. As Hyuji's handler, could you introduce Hyuji for us?
Speaker A
Our dog Hyuji is [(Hyuji, 2.4 years old)] he's a little over two years old, about three or four months past.
Speaker A
And also, he's male. Our Hyuji has incredible stamina. [(A Maltese's walk isn't enough)] So, he probably needs as much walking as a Dobermann.
Speaker A
He's a very lively and active little guy. His clothes are black, and his shoes are black too.
Speaker A
They don't really look alike, do they? [(Hyuji♡Chae-young)] But they kind of do look alike, don't they?
Speaker A
But I hear a lot of people say they do match. [(Comparison coming right up)] Could you hold him and tilt his face like this? Sure.
Speaker A
Let's do it together like this. [Looks exactly alike] [Two dogs] [Two dogs] They've got that dog look.
Speaker A
Double the dog look. Woof woof. Seriously, they do kind of look alike. [(Even the Dog President agrees it's a Maltese face)] Is it a Maltese look?
Speaker A
[(Even the Dog President agrees it's a Maltese face)] A Maltese face. Oh, definitely a Maltese face.
Speaker A
[Q. Is the name Hyuji?] But why Hyuji? [(fromis_9)] We brainstormed with the members. He was really tiny at first, you know.
Speaker A
You're listening, right, teacher? [(Not very interested in people)] Yes, Hyuji. [(Not very interested in people)] He'd get blown around like a piece of tissue in the wind.
Speaker A
Since he was a puppy. Yes. He's really active, huh? [(Blown around by even a small breeze as a puppy...)] He's super active and he's really tiny. Even a little nudge would make him roll over twice.
Speaker A
His fur is like this, so "Let's call him Hyuji. He looks like tissue paper." [Dust vs Hyuji] We were deciding between Dust and Hyuji.
Speaker A
Hyuji sounded better than Dust. I felt a bit sorry for calling him Dust. Hyuji over Dust.
Speaker A
Yes, we decided to go with Hyuji. [Hyuji bragging time] Do we have any bragging rights about this friend of ours?
Speaker A
First of all, our dog has quite a few tricks up its sleeve. [Brag 1: Possesses many unique skills] It's a program where our unique skills get deleted.
Speaker A
No way. [(Professional hunter of unique skills)] They say he has lots of tricks, but I end up shutting them all down.
Speaker A
No way. Please show us everything you've got. - It seems like there's a course or something. - Want me to show you?
Speaker A
[Watch closely, Kang Hyung-wook] - Shall we try a snack? - Snack, snack, snack, snack, snack. - Shall we try a snack? - Snack.
Speaker A
Sit. It doesn't even sit when I say "sit." [(But it sat down)] No, it did sit down.
Speaker A
Oh really? Got it. Lie down. [(Hyuji’s tricks flow one after another)] Sit. [(Hyuji’s tricks flow one after another)] V sign.
Speaker A
[(Hyuji’s tricks flow one after another)] No, V sign. [(Hyuji’s tricks flow one after another)] Heart.
Speaker A
[(Hyuji’s tricks flow one after another)] Nose. He doesn't really like the "nose" trick, though.
Speaker A
Nose! Put it in and take it out quickly. Nose! [Yes done] Nose. So quickly like this.
Speaker A
Good job, well done. Oh wow, that's impressive. Is there anything else? Any other tricks?
Speaker A
[(Of course there are more)] High five. - And a high five. - Heart! Spin.
Speaker A
- Oh my goodness - Lie down. [Last bang] Bang! - Good job! - Can he do this too?
Speaker A
Who taught him this? [(Feeling proud)] I taught everything. How? Ever since he was a tiny puppy, one step at a time.
Speaker A
I didn't have any friends. I just spent all day with him. [(Revealing the narrow social circle to the world)] Suddenly.
Speaker A
[(Revealing the narrow social circle to the world)] I really spent all day like this with him.
Speaker A
Suddenly realizing I have no friends. [(Hyuji, the guardian's only friend)] Just played like this with him.
Speaker A
Oh, you play like this? Yes. Can he do it for other people too? Maybe he won't do something he hasn't been taught before?
Speaker A
Like this. Sit down. Okay, "sit down" is done. Lie down. Oh, he's good at this.
Speaker A
Let's try that one more time. Sit. [(From lying down)] He's good at sitting too.
Speaker A
When I tell him to sit from lying down, he stands up and then sits.
Speaker A
[Well-trained dog] You trained him well. Are you interested in becoming a trainer? [Proud/(A trainer talent snatched by K-pop)] Not interested?
Speaker A
He's good. I taught him... [(Like owner, like dog)] You're great too. [(A cheat code to empty the wallets of family elders)] This is the New Year's cheat code.
Speaker A
Bang! [Please give me pocket money] This will get you ten thousand won right away.
Speaker A
This will get you ten thousand won right away, this one. Wait. And he's really good at waiting.
Speaker A
I've seen lots of dogs fail at the "wait" command here. He waits until I tell him he can stop.
Speaker A
Can he wait while I walk to that chair and back? Wait. Wait. [(First successful "wait" on Dog Guest Show)] Then, that plant pot over there.
Speaker A
[(Unfazed by mom's walking)] Then, the bathroom. Wait. Wait. [Moving is] No hesitation, huh? [Only the gaze moves] - Not even a hint of hesitation. - Wait.
Speaker A
Really? [[(While we're at it, let's level up)} Let's step into the room a bit] Wait.
Speaker A
[(Strong contender for winning the waiting competition)] Really? [(Strong contender for winning the waiting competition)] Wow, he's good.
Speaker A
Good job, now eat. [(Pride 2. Excellent at waiting)] And he understands people really well.
Speaker A
[(Doubt)] Really? Oh. When I say, "Go drink some water," he goes to drink water.
Speaker A
[(Pride 3. Understands human speech)] Think carefully. This thing. It'd be awkward if he doesn't go drink water, right?
Speaker A
But he might not drink and come back right now? What are you talking about [(Excuses getting longer)] Well, he's not thirsty right now.
Speaker A
So, for about 10 minutes he plays like crazy with a toy. When you say "go drink water." So how many chances? Two chances? One chance?
Speaker A
[(Confidence)] He'll go drink water right away, seriously. Really? Okay. [(Hyuji's custom leg tunnel)] I made a tunnel using my legs.
Speaker A
To make him thirsty. [(Personal trick cooldown taking longer than expected)] How long are we going to keep doing this?
Speaker A
[(Reasonable doubt)] Aren't you going to say it just when they're about to drink water?
Speaker A
[(Timing is key for the personal trick]
Speaker A
Go drink water and come back. [(Finally, the timing to drink water?)] Go drink some water.
Speaker A
[(Is it finally time to drink water?)] [What did you say?] Go drink some water.
Speaker A
[(Awkward)] Oh, does he not know where the water is? Go drink some water. [I said, go drink some water] [(Guardian is genuinely proud of showing off the trick)] What is this? That's not "Go drink some water." [(Roar)] Go drink some water! Water!
Speaker A
[Will he drink water?] Go drink some water. [I don't like water] [(Disappointed)] He hesitated, ah.
Speaker A
I'm sorry. Oh, but he is actually drinking it. [Pride 3: Understands human speech] Go look at the water.
Speaker A
Go look at the water. He's actually drinking it. [(Quick recovery attempt with another trick)] Is there perhaps another Quickly show us anything else he understands.
Speaker A
First of all, he understands "no" perfectly. [(Skepticism)] When he tries to eat something dirty or something like that [Pride 4: Understands "No!" well] Then I'll throw this, so Okay.
Speaker A
No. [(No?)] [(Proud)] If I say it, he won't do it. [(Devil's whisper)] You can eat it.
Speaker A
Eat it. Then tell him he can eat it. [(A model child who listens to their mom perfectly)] That's right, eat up.
Speaker A
Then eat this and Try saying "go drink water." [(A perfect opportunity with impeccable timing)] It might feel a bit dry.
Speaker A
If he really goes to drink water I'll just acknowledge it, acknowledge it. Sweetie, go drink some water.
Speaker A
Go drink some water. [(Hyuji isn't thirsty today)] Go drink some water. Go drink some water, water.
Speaker A
[Telling him to go drink water] [Brag 5: water hater] Won't even go near water.
Speaker A
[Brag 5: water hater] [Brag 5: water hater] Won't even go near water. [Consultation time] Since we're meeting today, do you have any questions?
Speaker A
But he really doesn't eat much. Why are you trying to make him eat? [(People around)] People keep saying he's too skinny.
Speaker A
No. [(Perfectly healthy and beautifully sized)] He's the perfect size. - Because - Really? Next to the tail.
Speaker A
If the tail is like this Around 10 o'clock, 2 o'clock. You can feel the bones in that direction.
Speaker A
- You can feel the bones in that direction. - Yes, yes, yes. [(This is the ischium)] This is it, this one.
Speaker A
- This one. - Yes. [(pubis)] This is where it would be on a human.
Speaker A
If you take off your clothes and the pubis is visible, doesn't that mean you're really slim?
Speaker A
Right. - That's super slim. - Yes. [(You can assess obesity by how much the ischium is visible)] With that method.
Speaker A
[(You can assess obesity by how much the ischium is visible)] It's about checking if they've gained weight or not.
Speaker A
He's not skinny at all right now. He's just perfect. Really? [(We were worried)] Puppy, I almost felt sorry.
Speaker A
[(Blink)] Why are you sorry? [(From the people around)] No, they keep saying they're too skinny.
Speaker A
But it might seem like I'm not feeding him for beauty purposes. That's what they're saying.
Speaker A
No. But honestly, I [(Pet food)] I mix about four different kinds. So they'll eat well?
Speaker A
Because I'm really worried. [(Hyuji is healthy, so no nagging)] His body is just right, and he'd still be fine even if he were a little thinner.
Speaker A
[(Problem solved)] I think I can head out today. [Guardian update talk] I'm curious about Chaeyeon's updates.
Speaker A
I just got back from finishing a world tour. [(Slightly sidelined)] Here, I'm just a dog guardian.
Speaker A
You'd be super popular there. Right? [(Flovers holding banners to support Hyuji)] That's right. But even when I went there, the fans had Hyuji's face on the banners.
Speaker A
Really? There were so many fans who printed them really big. [(Hyuji is)] I really missed him, so when I saw him on stage it gave me strength.
Speaker A
[(Perfect shot of Hyuji for a banner)] I bet all the fans are wearing masks of this one.
Speaker A
Look at me, look at me [(Final challenge)] In our guest show, we end with an affection test.
Speaker A
- I know this one. - You know it? Yes. I don't think he'll go to anyone.
Speaker A
To no one? Not even to me? Yes. [(Special move)] Then can I use treats?
Speaker A
No, you can't do that. [(Treats allowed to be chosen by Hyuji)] Then treats, treats.
Speaker A
Great great I should hold onto some treats. Holding treats Mom will give you treats.
Speaker A
I'll give you treats. Let's start the affection test. [Hyuji's affection test] [Hyuji's affection test] Chaeyeon, are you confident I'm a bit nervous.
Speaker A
Why are you nervous? You're his owner. [(A nervous guardian and a confident Dog President)] I don't know, I feel like it won't come to me.
Speaker A
Why am I so confident? No way. Please, come to me. Please, come on. Alright, let's wait and see.
Speaker A
Okay, let's get started. On the count of three, we'll call the name. One two [(The familiar mom vs. the newly introduced big dog)] One, two, three [(The familiar mom vs. the newly introduced big dog)] Hyuji!
Speaker A
[What will Hyuji choose?] [Guardian wins] Oh, you're so cute [(The Dog President lost without any suspense)] Oh no, that's too bad.
Speaker A
[Chaeng Forever] Thank you, thank you for coming.
