From what i have learned on here from reputable breeders/showers is that you can get a "champion" title from going to lesser shows and winning titles there, but they are not winning titles from AKC or other legitimate shows. Just like registering your dog with ACA, doesn't mean a thing. Also, the extremely short muzzle, big eyes, baby doll face, whatever you call it, is not to standard, so even if they went to a AKC show they would not win. Point being, they say "champion", I say so what?

I would not trust this site. I would not want to get a pup from Korea, unless of course I lived there. There are plenty of people locally that I would consider first. On a side note, there were a few litters of yorkies confiscated at LAX, underage yorkies trying to be smuggled in from Korea. They were from a puppymill. Animal control nursed them back to health and auctioned them off with the proceeds going to the local humane society if I remember correctly. Some of them went as high as $5000! Why on earth would someone pay 5 grand for a puppymill dog, knowing it was a puppymill dog.

That pic was the creepiest thing I have seen in a long time. Looks like its head is going to pop out through it's gigantic eyeballs. Most definitely photoshopped.

Their eyes look odd in the pictures, but they are different in the videos. I believe that they have been photoshopped to look this way. It reminds me of the Korean anime. One example:
Exactly right. That is the asian aesthetic. Big head, huge eyes, small chin and mouth. Cute for a cartoon, but these are dogs we are talking about, not cartoons.
