Kang Hyung Wook Scandalized For Gaslighting Amid Employee Backlash

The ‘canine President’, canine trainer Kang Hyung-wook, is embroiled in a scandal at Bodle Company over charges of gaslighting and employee harassment. Former employees have posted severe criticism on social media and online communities, describing a toxic workplace. Bodle Company, co-managed by Kang and his wife, has a 1.7-star rating on a job-seeking website from former employees. These evaluations often allege low salaries, gaslighting, and staff abuse. Given Kang’s fame in pet training, this has shocked and alarmed people. A former employee who sought psychiatric assistance for panic problems and despair after leaving the company is one of the most worrisome testimonials. Gaslighting, personal insults, and inappropriate demands, including employee message surveillance and coerced defamation agreements, are alleged in the evaluation. Some evaluations highlight “cunning gaslighting” and “inhuman treatment of staff,” which contrasts with the company’s positive dog-interacting image. In addition to these internal issues, Bodle Company has not posted on its official social media since December 12, raising rumors that it may be closing. Kang Hyung-wook has not addressed these charges. He didn’t mention employee reviews on his personal social media or YouTube channel, ‘Kang Hyung-wook’s Bodle TV’, the day before. Netizens are actively asking for explanations on Bodle TV’s community boards. Known for his roles on EBS’s ‘There Is No Such Thing as a Bad Dog’ and KBS 2TV’s ‘Dogs Are Incredible’, Kang runs Bodle Company, which sells pet education products. Fans and watchers await further developments as this debate contrasts with his well-received public contributions to pet care and training.
