Renowned dog trainer Kang Hyung-wook is making his long-awaited return to TV with a revamped pet training reality show.
📺 Channel A unveiled the official poster for its new show Dog and Wolf Time on July 18, featuring Kang alongside veteran host Kim Sung-joo. Pet owners are already showing enthusiastic support, calling it a must-watch for anyone with furry companions.
🐕🦺 A Fierce New Beginning
In the poster, Kang Hyung-wook stares intensely into the camera, clutching a tug toy — a tool used in dog training — showing he's more determined than ever. His serious expression signals a no-nonsense approach to the show's renewed format.
Dog and Wolf Time takes a deep dive into the relationships between dogs and their humans. The show focuses on real-life issues, offering practical advice and thoughtful insights on how to coexist in harmony.
🎙️ The Dream Team Is Back
Kang teams up with beloved MC Kim Sung-joo, who represents the perspective of viewers who may not own dogs. Their chemistry adds balance and broader relatability to the show.
📉 From Controversy to Comeback
This marks Kang Hyung-wook's return to entertainment after about a year. In May 2024, he faced public scrutiny over alleged misconduct. A former employee from his company Bodeum accused him of invading privacy by reading private messages.
However, the case was dismissed. The Gyeonggi Northern Police's Cyber Crime Unit ruled "no evidence of wrongdoing" under the Information and Communications Network Act in February.
Despite being cleared, Kang suffered reputational damage. He stepped down from KBS2's Dogs Are Incredible last July and paused his YouTube activities amid mounting online hate.
Now, with Dog and Wolf Time, he's ready to offer stronger, sharper solutions — and win back the hearts of viewers, one paw at a time.
