Apart from accusing him of using the animals for clout, the netizen also criticized UT10TION Kim Wooseok for not taking care of them. They experienced their disappointment in how he personally washed his dogs only once and just asked his manager to take the dogs to a grooming shop.
"He's so proud of the fact that he has never washed his dogs, but once, and has his manager take care of it. If you're going to have someone else take care of your animals, it means you aren't treating them well, so you should stop adopting. Kim Wooseok's fans are already making fanart for the newly adopted cat... sigh," the netizen explained.
