Deep in the mountains of Boeun, Chungbuk, live 20 Jindo dogs in a vast 1,200-pyeong apple orchard! Kim Kwon-su, a retired soldier who served in the Special Forces for 26 years, has been living while raising Jindo dogs for over 20 years. From the apple orchard to the wide kennels, all the spaces he has personally cultivated are solely for the Jindo dogs...!

A retired Special Forces soldier deeply into Jindo dogs

Fascinated by the charm of Jindo dogs, Kim Kwon-su is working hard to preserve and foster traditional Jindo dogs. Living with various Jindo dogs such as white ones, yellow ones, black ones, and two-eyed ones, he meticulously takes care of everything from their food to their sleeping quarters. His actions, such as building kennels himself and constantly tending to the space so the Jindo dogs can live comfortably, reveal his extraordinary affection for them. In particular, Kim says his days are even happier lately as two Jindo puppies were recently born. He is devotedly caring for the 13-day-old puppies by washing and looking after them himself.

Among the 20 Jindo dogs, the 'aching finger' that is especially worrisome, Ppuli

Among the 20 Jindo dogs, there is one 'aching finger' that is particularly heavy on Kim's heart... it is Ppuli. Not only does Ppuli fail to mingle with the other Jindo dogs, but he also rarely comes out of the kennel. When a guardian approaches, he avoids them, and even during walks, he often stops walking due to anxiety. He was even captured being attacked by other Jindo dogs, deepening Kim's worries. Even for Kim, who has raised Jindo dogs for over 20 years, solving Ppuli's problems is not an easy situation. Ultimately, after hearing Ppuli's unfortunate story, Seol-ssaem visited Boeun. What is the possibility of change that Seol-ssaem will find in Ppuli? Will Ppuli be able to accept new friends?

And another special encounter! Mijin and the grandmother meeting again after 3 months

Kim has another special connection. 'Mijin' is the Jindo dog who has been looking after an elderly neighbor for three months while she was hospitalized due to illness. For Mijin, who is returning to the embrace of her family as the grandmother is discharged, Kim even gives her a special makeover. The reunion of Mijin and the grandmother, two beings who waited anxiously for each other, warms the hearts of those watching.

The EBS episode 'The Masters of Our House, 20 Jindo Dogs' will be broadcast on September 12, 2026 (Sat) at 10 PM on EBS 1TV, and can be rewatched on the EBS website.
