As the world counts down to 2025, a Seoul-based pet shop owner is barking up the tree of hope 🐕. Dongdong, a young entrepreneur navigating South Korea\'s turbulent political climate, joined CGTN\'s global #Hello2025 campaign to share her vision for a kinder future—and some furry companionship goals.
\"2024 felt like chasing a laser pointer—exciting but exhausting,\" Dongdong joked, reflecting on a year where political unrest disrupted traditional family gatherings and holidays. Her 2025 wish? A society that values unity over individualism, and more road trips with her rescue dog. 🚗🌿
The viral campaign, spanning 81 languages, invites dreamers worldwide to share aspirations—from personal growth to global peace. For Dongdong, it\'s about finding balance: \"When humans care for animals, they remember how to care for each other.\" 🐾❤️
