<\/video>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n I received another DM today. Let\u2019s open the first one. \u25b6 A changing Mother\u2019s Day: \u201cdog-nation\u201d replaces carnations Today is Mother\u2019s Day. Red carnations have filled the streets, but this year a playful trend is getting attention: the \u201cdog-nation.\u201d A wide-eyed, irresistibly cute dog wore a red carnation headband \u2014 a pet-sized carnation that\u2019s become popular online. The image of a dog that almost looks like the flower itself brings an easy smile. With roughly 15 million pet owners, Mother\u2019s Day customs are naturally shifting to include pets. Pet-focused Mother\u2019s Day items go beyond the dog-nation. One trend is a \u201cfilial delivery\u201d costume: a dog wears a delivery-worker outfit and headband while holding a package. Sales of pet gifts for Mother\u2019s Day have doubled compared with the same period last year, and dog daycares are staging events that let owners celebrate with their pets. Many owners call their animals family. Since Mother\u2019s Day is about family, it makes sense that celebrating the holiday with pets is spreading. \u25b6 Lee Su-ji parodies the \u201cdifficult patient\u201d \u2014 viral again Now for the second DM. Comedian Lee Su-ji, who previously went viral for parodying kindergarten teachers, turned her attention to hospitals. Her reality-based sketch drew strong reactions from medical staff. In the clip, she plays a \u201cdifficult patient\u201d you might see in a ward \u2014 one of her alter egos, a woman in her 60s named Hwang Jeong-ja. If mealtime runs late, she snaps, \u201cHey, nurse \u2014 where\u2019s the food?\u201d She speaks bluntly, shouts across the room, bickers about side dishes and medical bills, and even pressures nurses to summon her son. Medical workers responded, \u201cWe see that patient every day,\u201d and some said the sketch reminded them of real encounters so vividly it triggered PTSD-like feelings. Lee Su-ji\u2019s meticulous reenactment again won empathy from healthcare professionals. Beyond the laughs, her work highlights the emotional labor and difficult realities on the wards \u2014 a message worth reflecting on. \u25b6 Trump unveils 6-meter gold statue of himself: \u201cThis is the real one\u201d Last DM: One image strongly associated with former President Trump is his clenched fist. Now a gold statue capturing that pose \u2014 nearly 6 meters (about 19.7 feet) tall \u2014 has been erected. The statue stands at Trump\u2019s privately owned golf resort in Miami, Florida. Reports say it cost more than 500 million KRW (about $375,000) to make. The clenched-fist pose echoed a 2024 campaign moment that rallied his supporters: he raised his fist even amid the shock of nearby gunfire, drawing thunderous cheers that helped solidify his base. Trump boasted about the statue on social media and thanked donors who funded it as \u201cgreat American patriots.\u201d Critics called the monument overly political and likened it to the self-aggrandizement seen in authoritarian regimes. The resort is scheduled to host the G20 summit this December, which may intensify the controversy. From commemorative coins and passports to statues, images of Trump are cropping up across the U.S., fueling renewed debate over his self-promotion. That\u2019s my reply to today\u2019s DMs. It\u2019s Mother\u2019s Day \u2014 this year the dog-nation is giving the traditional red carnation a run for its money. Times change, and people find new ways to show love to family, but the heart of Mother\u2019s Day remains the same: remembering parents\u2019 sacrifices and expressing gratitude. Thank you, and I love you. Today, put aside your shyness and give your parents a hug. That\u2019s DM for today.
