Giving gifts to our idols is nothing new—it's one way that fans show appreciation to their much-loved favorites. Just recently, BINI’s Aiah was gifted a Saint Laurent bag by a fan, which costs approximately P150,000. But this time, a fan decided to take it up a notch by gifting her a puppy. While this gesture might seem sweet, the surprise inspired mixed reactions from netizens—after all, pets are responsibilities.

After BINI’s event at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, a fan came up to the P-pop idol to hand her the dog. The dog is a Chow Chow-Japanese Spitz mix, and the unexpected gift left Aiah with a new role as a dog mom.
Following the event, Aiah posted photos of her new pup on Instagram Stories, captioning them with, "Didn't expect I'd be a dog mom soon, but Christmas came early." Aiah shared snaps of the puppy, even inviting her fans to guess the dog's name. Though she appears delighted with her new furry companion, the situation has ignited a wider conversation.
Fans and netizens alike have voiced their concerns. While it's common to give gifts to idols, surprising someone with a living being to care for without any prior warning raised some flags to many.
Netizens Have Mixed Reactions to a Fan Gifting BINI Aiah a Puppy
Some Blooms expressed their gratitude to the fellow fan for gifting her the puppy, knowing how much she’s wanted one for a long time. They’re simply thrilled to see their idol so happy.
However, not everyone shared the same enthusiasm. One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, "I know may layers 'to pero generally, this is something [that] should NOT be celebrated or normalized." Another netizen responded, "People need to understand that getting/adopting a living breathing animal is a huge commitment."
The fan who gifted Aiah with the puppy has since issued her apology.
A fair caution: Responsible pet ownership means considering whether the person has the capacity to care for an animal. A pet is more than just a gift—it's a serious commitment that demands time, effort, and resources!
