We often see people visit a business establishment a celebrity owns. However, it’s rare to see a situation where the celebrity being visited isn’t a human but a dog. What’s even rarer is seeing several celebrities visit an establishment that’s named after a famous dog.
Zangjeolmi, or Jeolmi for short, is a popular dog on social media. He has over 660,000 followers on Instagram due to his adorable looks. It’s safe to say that he is a celebrity in his own right.
Recently, his owners opened a bed and breakfast inn named after him. Their first few guests were delighted to stay there and meet Jeolmi. The guests also brought their own dogs, who mingled with the celebrity dog.
One day a set of unexpected guests arrived at the B&B. It was two idols from the Korean band SF9, Young Bin, and Taeyang. Just like the other guests, they also brought a dog with them. Young Bin brought his favorite companion dog, Jamong.
The two K-pop idols finally got the chance to meet Jeolmi, but it didn’t go as expected. The dog became shy when they saw them; perhaps he was starstruck. Fortunately, Taeyang managed to walk with him sometime after their initial meeting.
The idols did a lot of fun activities while in the B&B. They helped the owners harvest apples. They did a short dance in front of Jeolmi. Lastly, they indulged in all the food the establishment had to offer.
During the evening, the idols continued their activities with Jeolmi and Jamong. They sang while drinking alcohol and admiring the dogs. In the morning, they lay under the morning sun while taking in the beautiful view.
The visit might have been a promotional crossover between SF9 and Jeolmi’s B&B, but it felt more like a vacation. The guests had fun along with the dog celebrity, so it didn’t feel like work. More importantly, fans of the band and the dogs enjoyed the collaboration as well.
