EXO Sehun's Beloved Bichon Dog Vivi and Her Unexpected Pop Culture Influence

EXO member Sehun's dog, Vivi, a Bichon, is gaining attention in South Korea, not just as a celebrity pet but also for her unexpected influence in pop culture. Vivi's prominence stems from her frequent appearances alongside Sehun and her unique connection to a popular essay.

Vivi's fame is highlighted by her inclusion on the cover of the essay "I am a person who makes curry" by Kim Min-ji, where she is listed as a recommender alongside Sehun. This book also features the origin of "Vivi Curry," a concept familiar to many idol fans, created by the author. Bloggers initially mistook "Vivi" for the singer BIBI, underscoring the dog's distinct recognition.

Local bloggers express surprise and amusement at Vivi's unexpected role in recommending a book, noting how well-known "Vivi Curry" is within the idol fandom. They find it relatable that the author, like them, enjoys curry but not necessarily curry-flavored products, appreciating the authentic connection Vivi brings to the essay.
