Yoo Seung Ho Responds To Issue That His Adopted Cats Were Allegedly Abused

Yoo Seung Ho gave his response after a lot of fans expressed their deep concerns about his adopted cats.

In October 2019, a famous YouTuber, gapsupasture, announced that the actor has adopted two kittens, named Gomi and Dori, that gapsupasture had been fostering.

Then, on May 7, the schoolmates of gapsupasture in the same veterinary university accused him of abusing the cats under his care, doing things like starving them just to have increased views on his videos. The YouTuber is well known for being an animal lover and also for rescuing abandoned animals. However, the students claimed that he only purchased the cats from the pet shops. This was also reported on Channel A's "News A" that day.

After these claimed reports, gapsupasture did admit that he purchased the cats at a pet shop, but he denied the rumors that he starved them. The police are now involved and plan to conduct the questioning of the vlogger.

This disturbing news caught the attention of online users, and a ton of them also voiced out their concerns.

On May 8, Yoo Seung Ho gave his response by uploaded snaps of his two fur-babies.

"I'm writing this post after much consideration because many people are worried. Simba and Autumn are doing well. I changed their names. Gomi is now Simba, and Dori is Autumn. They are both eating well, digesting well, playing well, and doing well. Autumn has even overcome peritonitis," the actor wrote.

"Even if you only give love to an animal its whole life, it's not enough. Please do not think of animals as a means of making money," he went on.

Yoo Seung Ho began his career in the acting scene as a child actor. His last project, the drama "Memorist," concluded last month.

Yoo Seung Ho made his debut in the entertainment industry through a cell phone commercial back in 1999 after his mother sent his photo to an ad agency.

After starring in TV series "Daddy Fish," he landed a lead role in his first film, "The Way Home," portraying the character of a spoiled brat city boy who was forced to spend his summer with his deaf-mute grandmother.

There, he learned how to appreciate little things in life. This low-budget movie surprised everyone with winning box office hit in 2002, drawing more than 4 million admissions. He was then affectionately labeled as "Nation's Little Brother."
