Veteran singer Kim Jang-hoon, currently on his nationwide “One Man Show” tour, is extending his offstage goodwill with a weekend bazaar to help abandoned and rescued dogs.

Kim will hold the “BIG” bazaar on Saturday and Sunday at the Eco Center in Irwon Eco Park in Seoul’s Gangnam District, southern Seoul. An adoption fair for abandoned dogs will also take place on the second day.


The event was organized in cooperation with animal rescue group Soby to help cover veterinary bills for abandoned and rescued dogs.

More than 100 types of items will be on sale, ranging from pet supplies to lifestyle goods for pet owners, in what organizers describe as a pet-fair-scale bazaar.

Kim, who adopted a rescued dog through Soby in late 2025, has long shown a deep interest in animal welfare.
