On EBS's 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire,' the daily life of Park Chang-deok and his wife, who live with six pets on a 7,000-pyeong plot of land, will be revealed.

The couple has decorated part of their home as a dedicated space for their pets and prepares customized meals with fresh ingredients themselves, showing exceptional affection for the animals. In the animal-only kitchen, foods tailored to each animal's tastes—such as apples, carrots, silkworm pupae, boiled pork, and feed—are prepared, with meals served twice a day at 6 a.m. and around sunset.

The animals living here each have their own stories. They include Welsh Corgi 'Peanut,' rescued from a breeding farm; meerkat 'Mong-i,' whose adoption was postponed due to the closure of a children's animal experience center; retired racehorse 'Bada,' left with nowhere to go after retirement; and four-year-old horse 'Dooly,' searching for a new family after the business closed.

Park Chang-deok explained that while a horse's life expectancy ranges from 20 to 45 years, it can be shortened due to various circumstances. In particular, 11-year-old miniature horse 'Dolkong' became part of the family through an adoption notice after an animal experience center shut down. Park said Dolkong's eyes left a deep impression on him, and he prepares special meals to care for Dolkong, whose decayed and loose teeth make it difficult to eat.

The broadcast also shows Dolkong's bath routine. Viewers will see the meticulous care involved, including heating water over a wood fire even in midsummer, blow-drying, brushing, and even trimming his forelock. Dolkong can also be seen holding a fan meeting at a rural market.

Seo Jang-hoon expressed regret over the reality that animals are easily abandoned at animal experience centers and dog shelters. He said, 'When people's circumstances worsen, animals are the first to be abandoned.'

'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire' airs on EBS on Wednesday, September 23, at 9:55 p.m.
