Many people adopt pets with love. However, although they love pets, there are many problems with raising pets.
Owners of pets are cruel to animals for their convenience. If their dogs bark every night, they can't raise their dogs in apartments, so many people who adopt dogs allow doctors to operate on the dogs' vocal cord nodules which prevents them from making noises. However, people don't realize that these behaviors are maltreatment. | |

We visited the Cheongju General Animal Clinic in Sudong. The clinic was filled with abandoned animals unlike normal animal hospitals. When we entered the clinic, the animals welcomed the reporters by wagging their tails. The behaviors were the same as any other pets in homes. | |

CBT covered that why dabangs have been out of the limelight and found attractions of dabangs which were loved by people. | |

It is getting ambiguous to say that Korea is a racially homogeneous nation as family members have been diversified. Currently, people can easily find foreign-born women and their children.

As multi-cultural families have increased in Korean society, the education of their second generations has become a serious problem. The multi-cultural families whose children go to Korean schools are growing quickly every year.
