Son Tae-young and Kwon Sang-woo, after three months of worry (worry) over the abandoned dog Chopa, finally adopted him: "The kids didn't want to let him go."

Actress Son Tae-young officially adopted the stray dog Chopa, whom she had been temporarily fostering. Son Tae-young’s husband, Kwon Sang-woo, shared his thoughts on this. In April, Son Tae-young personally greeted Chopa at New York’s JFK Airport. She said, ″Chopa is a very special guest, so I had to come pick him up,″ adding that she usually does not go out to greet her husband, Kwon Sang-woo. Chopa was rescued in January just before euthanasia and was looking for a new family when he met Son Tae-young. Son Tae-young started temporary fostering because she couldn’t stop thinking about Chopa, and their daughter Riho was happy about it. Their children, Kwon Sang-woo, and their existing pet cat all got along well with Chopa. After three months, in July, Son Tae-young and Kwon Sang-woo decided after much consideration to officially adopt Chopa. In an interview about the adoption, Son Tae-young said, ″As soon as Chopa came to our house like our own dog, he came out to explore. He is very gentle and obedient.″ Kwon Sang-woo said, ″He doesn’t fully accept human touch yet, but he seems to be getting closer little by little. He follows my wife well, but not me yet.″ Son Tae-young revealed that she had been thinking about adoption from the start of the temporary fostering. She said, ″I thought the second one was already adopted, not just fostered. Our eldest child had grown attached and asked where he was going. The second child cried and made a fuss, saying we shouldn’t send Chopa away.″ Kwon Sang-woo joked, ″I didn’t know we would have both cats and dogs at home. It naturally became a big family. Son Tae-young is so gentle when she talks to Bella and Chopa with the kids. That’s why I tell the kids to treat me like Bella and Chopa.″
