Actor's Emotional Goodbye to Pet Sparks Wishes for Marriage and Hanok Life

[OSEN=Kim Soo-hyung Reporter] In 'My Little Old Boy,' actor Bae Jung-nam was depicted in a heart-wrenching moment as he bid farewell to his one and only family, his pet dog Bell. Viewers also wept alongside him as he sobbed, saying, "You could have lived a little longer," while staying by Bell's side until the end. Many have expressed support for him to build a new family, especially as he shared his thoughts on marriage this year.

In the episode of SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy' broadcast on the 19th of last month, scenes of Bae Jung-nam spending his final moments with his pet dog Bell were revealed. Bell passed away last month due to a sudden heart attack. Having miraculously recovered for 1 year and 7 months despite being diagnosed with complete paralysis from acute disc issues, Bae Jung-nam's sense of loss was even greater.

Bae Jung-nam could not stop his tears, saying, "That means you could have lived a little longer." As he wept, saying, "Dad is sorry, just stay a little longer," he remained by Bell's side until the very end, shouting, "It's hot, what should I do? Our baby is hot," at the crematorium. After the cremation, he held the ashes and said, "Why did you get so small? Please rest without any pain now," his broken appearance touching the hearts of those watching.

For Bae Jung-nam, who grew up alone without family since childhood, Bell was his family, friend, and reason for living. He revealed, "Meeting Bell made me feel like I finally had a family," as he had lived alone since elementary school, even delivering newspapers.

At the end of the broadcast, Bae Jung-nam said his final goodbye: "Thank you for coming into my life. Dad loves you so much." Later, he shared photos of Bell's final moments on social media, writing, "The last film photo of my daughter." The photos showed Bell still happy, playing on the grass and enjoying swimming.

Earlier this year in April, Bae Jung-nam mentioned on a broadcast, "If Bell's health improves, I'll consider getting married." He also shared, "I want to build an ordinary family," and "If I get married, I want to live in a hanok. My ideal type is 'a woman who wants to live in a hanok.'" Viewers who watched the episode left messages saying, "The way he stayed until the end was so moving," "I can feel how much he truly loved Bell," and "I hope he heals and builds a new family soon."..
