Hong is known to have been involved volunteer work for abandoned dogs for a quite some time. She has adopted one herself. Soo was an abandoned dog before meeting the actress.

“Abandoned dogs are weak ones, who see and feel the same as us but cannot speak,” she said. “As it is a problem directly related with precious life, (people should) take responsibility until the end.”

Hong promised to do what she can to help abandoned dogs.
