President Yoon Suk-yeol and Kim Keon-hee made a surprise appearance on "TV's Animal Farm."

In SBS's "TV Animal Farm," which was broadcast on the 28th, it was revealed that a retired guide dog, Saerom, was adopted by a new family and was living there.

The production team, who visited Saerom's new family, entered the president's official residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan, after a thorough identification check under tight security. The new family that adopted Saerom was President Yoon Suk-yeol and Mrs. Kim Keon-hee, who were seen happily playing in the garden of the presidential residence.

President Yoon greeted him by saying, "Hello, this is Saerom's dad and my Marie, Sunny's dad, and Tori's dad, Yoon Suk-yeol," and Mrs. Kim also introduced herself, "I'm Kim Keon-hee, the mother of my children."

Explaining the reason for adopting Saerom, President Yoon explained, "When I was a candidate, I went to Yongin's guide dog school, and I said, 'If I am elected and go to the official residence with a courtyard, I definitely want to have a retirement guide dog,' and I adopted him as a member of my family on Christmas Day last year."

Mr. and Mrs. Yoon have 6 dogs, six dogs and five cats. Saerom was the 5th First Dog. President Yoon even made his own treats for his pets on his days off.

Mrs. Kim Keon-hee said, "Sae-rom likes her dad a lot," and she envied that "all dogs and cats like her dad a lot." President Yoon Suk-yeol then said, "This person is mainly trying to train them, and even when they give him snacks, he says, 'Right foot, left foot, lie down!' "Then the dog comes running to me, just asking for it."

Speaking about the story of how she became a multi-dog companion, Kim Keon-hee said, "We had a child and lost it, and (President Yoon) was struggling very psychologically, but when I adopted a stray dog, my dad loved it." "When he came home, he was so happy that he was going to feed the children, and he forgot about the pain," he said, adding, "In fact, it was all in the role of temporary protection, but after a day, he said, 'I can't do this. I'm going to raise it.' If you look at it, it's because of the desire to bring them back that they keep increasing."

President Yoon's official residence is home to dogs with painful stories, including Saerom, Na-rae, who was rescued from a shelter for abandoned dogs on the verge of euthanasia, and Tori, who underwent 11 surgeries in a car accident. "There are a lot of puppies that serve like this for special purposes, and I think it's only right that the state and society bear a certain part of the burden when they get treatment because they have served the country and society," Yoon said, "so it's easier to adopt and accompany them. I'll give it a try."

Then, when asked by the producers whether "there will be a policy within his term," President Yoon said, "I will try to do my best."

President Yoon and Mrs. Kim greeted each other one last time, saying, "Don't buy, adopt."
