Actress Han Hyo-joo was praised after a story emerged about her warmly greeting a dog she happened to meet on the street and readily agreeing to take a photo with it.
Several photos were posted on Instagram along with the caption "Han Hyo-joo, who is even better in person," on Wednesday.
The poster said, "Han Hyo-joo was on her way to a shoot when she saw Gamja (a pet dog), stopped what she was doing to pet it, and happily agreed to take photos."
They continued, "Even when we ran into each other again, she greeted us first and struck up a conversation. She even told the staff that Gamja is cute," adding, "She is an angel-like person who genuinely loves animals."
The poster further added, "I am truly envious of you, Gamja," and noted, "Han Hyo-joo looks even prettier in person. You're in the league now."
Photos taken at Dongtan Lake Park in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, captured Han stroking and bonding with the pet dog named Gamja.
Netizens who saw the post reacted with comments such as "Gamja is truly a lucky dog," "Let's not bathe Gamja for a while," "I'm envious of Gamja," and "Gamja has really hit the jackpot."
Meanwhile, Han is set to meet viewers through MBC's new drama "Your Ground," in which she stars alongside actor Gong Myung. The series will premiere on December 11.
