- Chungha – Bambi
Most people know Chungha’s dog, Bambi, through the special dog episode of Weekly Idol, which was one of her first big public appearances. On air, Chungha explained to her fans the dog was named Bambi because her mom kept calling the puppy that due to its long legs that made her look like a deer. Bambi gave birth to three puppies in 2017: Dakgol, Bamtol and Dodo. Soon after, Bamtol, was adopted by Ryu Jina, Chungha’s manager.
