On the episode of SBS TV Animal Farm that aired on June 28, the daily life of Cream, a special dog known as the mood maker and reliable assistant instructor at a Gangnam yoga studio, was featured. The broadcast recorded a 3.1% household viewership rating, peaking at 4.5% per minute (based on Nielsen Korea’s Seoul metropolitan area data), ranking first in its time slot.
In the busy and concrete jungle of Gangnam, Cream instantly stole the spotlight as he naturally navigated the studio while members were quietly meditating with their eyes closed. Cream displayed perfect balance, whether he was perched on a student’s back, a narrow palm, or even the top of someone’s head.
Cream’s role didn’t stop there. He acted as a professional, greeting members with a wagging tail as they arrived, setting up yoga mats, and even helping students correct their poses during class, leaving everyone in awe.
There is a touching story behind how Cream became so deeply involved in yoga. As a puppy, Cream was physically weak and struggled to walk steadily. To help him build basic strength, the studio owner began practicing yoga with him. By coming to the studio every day and consistently moving his body, Cream became remarkably healthy and developed a bright personality. Now, he goes beyond basic yoga and easily handles flying yoga, which requires high levels of muscle strength and balance.
Seeing Cream comfortably enjoy the air without any fear of heights, an expert analyzed that the dog seems to truly enjoy the process, though they advised that monitoring his condition is important to ensure excessive movements do not strain his joints.
Cream’s unique love for heights continued at home, where he enjoyed climbing a cat tower despite being a dog. In response, the owner took on an epic challenge for Cream: a thrilling paragliding flight 900 meters above sea level.
Even amidst strong winds and the dizzying height of the flight, Cream remained calm and composed, shocking the studio audience. After successfully completing the flight, the owner pledged to continue being a strong support system for Cream, helping him maintain his health and well-being through dog yoga.
Meanwhile, TV Animal Farm airs every Sunday at 9:30 AM.
