"Left Without Water After Closure"... A Visit to the Closed Homeplus

We begin our Morning Hot Topics, delivering the hottest news every morning.

Our first hot topic today is about the claim, "Left without water after closure."

Rumors spread on social media that puppies were being left without water at a pet shop inside a closed Homeplus in Incheon.

However, after checking the facts, it turned out to be somewhat different from the truth.

The day before yesterday, a post appeared on social media claiming that puppies seemed to be neglected at a pet shop located inside the Homeplus Yeonsu branch in Incheon.

Currently, Homeplus has suspended operations at branches nationwide due to financial difficulties.

However, some merchants who had entered the premises as tenants are continuing their business.

It was reported that the store in question was also a rented space.

A dog rescue group that saw these posts visited the store.

They did not find any evidence that could be considered intentional animal abandonment or abuse.

The owner reportedly stated that although they are facing difficulties due to the suspension of Homeplus operations, they have been providing food twice a day and cleaning the cages.

Nevertheless, the group took ownership from the owner to ensure the puppies could live in a better environment.
