ENHYPEN's Jake Captures Hearts in Dog-Walking Episode, Showcasing Lifelong Canine Affection

ENHYPEN member Jake recently became the focus of a heartwarming episode in the group's "EN-EPISODE" series, where he took on temporary dog-walking duties with an energetic golden retriever puppy.

The segment has delighted fans, highlighting the K-pop idol's genuine affection for dogs and providing a touching glimpse into his personal life and love for animals.

The episode documented Jake, dressed in casual white athletic wear, navigating an outdoor set alongside the lively pup. The playful canine, full of energy, was seen eagerly bolting ahead past various filming markers, including signs for "SIMMONS" and "MONSTER TERRACE RACE", pulling a joyful Jake along for the ride.

The scenes captured tender moments of the idol kneeling for hugs, cooing over the puppy on the grass, and even fanning it in a car with fellow member Jungwon to keep it cool.

This adorable interaction served as a natural extension of Jake's well-documented history with dogs. The Australian-raised star is a devoted owner to his own beloved border collie, Layla, a dog his family adopted from a neighbor years ago.

The bond with Layla has been a recurring theme in his content, with fans noting the resemblance between the two and giving Jake the affectionate nickname "Jayla".

Layla even moved to Korea with his family after Jake's debut. Furthermore, Jake's commitment to animal welfare extends beyond his personal pet. Earlier this year, he participated in a volunteer effort at a local animal shelter, visiting animals awaiting adoption, which led to a dog at the facility being successfully adopted and named after him.

The "EN-EPISODE" moment, part of a broader trend of idols sharing their love for pets, underscores Jake's playful and sweet nature, offering fans a meaningful connection amid ENHYPEN's demanding global schedule.
