[24.10.08] The head of the Military Research Institute: "Women joining the military could increase birth rates"

 Kim Hyungchul, the head of the Military Research Institute under the Ministry of National Defense, said, "If women join the militaries, camaraderie will form, leading to higher marriage and birth rates."

Kim made this statement during an appearance on Pen and Mic TV's YouTube broadcast on the 23rd of last month. He said, "The situation has now come to the point where women need to serve in the military. Men and women will live together like in college dormitories, though of course, in separate rooms. Naturally, couples will form there too. This will create camaraderies that last for a lifetime, and I believe there could actually be more marriages and children born as a result."

Kim added, "I’ve heard that even during temple stays, couples form. Encouraging women to serve in the military could provide opportunities for men and women to meet, which is good in that respect, and in emergencies, they could also contribute to combat capabilities, which is another benefit."

In response to these remarks, Democratic Party lawmaker Park Sunwon criticized, saying, "Kim is using the military service as a tool for childbirth. His remarks are highly inappropriate," and urged the Minister of Defense, who appointed Kim, to apologize.

Kim later told SBS, "It was a lighthearted comment meant to highlight the need for opportunities for men and women to meet. If it was inappropriate, I apologize."

I came across this article from about a month ago. The remarks were so shocking that I had to share.

theqoo

-That would only increase sexual crimes. They really see women as nothing more than tools for childbirth.

-He doesn't see women as humans; he sees women as sexual tools. F*ck.

-I don't know... Wouldn't this just lead to higher rates of crime and female suicide?

-I wonder what does he think women are?

-Does it even make sense to say camaraderie leads to marriage? By that logic, do all men in the military fall in love and marry each other?

-Bullsh*t.

-Ahjussi, why don't you go and give birth then? 

-Is this person insane? How does anyone even begin to think that birth rates will rise because of military service?

-What does he think women are? Baby-making machines?

-Looks like he's including the number of pregnancies caused by rape in that calculation?

-I’m all for women serving in the military, but only if the units are completely separate, and there’s no interaction between men and women.

-Weren’t you guys saying women should just have babies instead of joining the military? But now you want us to do both?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What is the purpose of the military anyway? To date and give birth?

-So you're talking about handing guns to women?!

-Brainless.

-So by his logic, are most soldiers gay now? Since he thinks camaraderie naturally leads to falling in love?

-Just figure out a way for men to give birth instead, please.

-And this is exactly why the birthrate is at rock bottom.

-Wow, Extraordinary Attorney Woo is only 10 votes behind Queen of Tears. Looks like it was a big hit in Japan. I already knew Crash Landing on You and Queen of Tears were successful there.

-Whoa... Wasn't Misaeng released 10 years ago?

-Itaewon Class ranks lower than I expected.

-As expected, Queen of Tears.

-For a second, I thought Chicken Nugget was ranked #1 and got really confused.

-It’s fascinating how dramas from different eras made it onto the listㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Extraordinary Attorney Woo ranks higher than I expected.

-Hospital Playlist is an unexpected one.

-Boys Over Flowers is the oldest drama on the list. That's impressive.

-I figured it would be Queen of Tears.

-Did it rank first because it’s a recent drama?

-Goblin isn’t on the list?

-Queen of Tears was such a hit in Japan. I saw Kim Soohyun’s ads everywhere there.

-Queen of Tears seems to be a huge hit in Japan.

-I need to check out the dramas I haven’t seen yetㅎㅎ

-Wow, Queen of Tears is #1. It’s my favorite drama of 2024.

-In Japan, sweet and warm dramas are really popular, that's why Baek Hyunwoo is widely loved there.

-It's surprising how Lovely Runner isn't on the list.

-As expected, Queen of Tears. There really hasn’t been a drama that compares to it this year.

-I couldn't take my eyes off of Liz. I replayed their performance video multiple times.

-Yujin really looks like Artemis. The three of them are so beautiful.

'Award thief' currently becomes #1 searched key-word in Weibo in real-time. [2024 MAMA] Daesang controversy - Enhypen > Jimin

 #1 award thief - Jimin (The winner of Fan's Choice Award)

In both rounds of the Fan Choice public voting, Enhypen ranked 1st.

Most people predicted Enhypen would win the Fan's Choice Award

But in the category that's 100% based on fan voting, only the Visa Fans' Choice voting had its ranking hidden and Jimin won 1st place, which caused a stir among Enhypen's international fandom.

+) Why was the voting ranking kept hidden for this year's Visa Fans' Coice Award when the rankings were usually made public in previous years?


Jimin dropped from 1st to 6th due to invalid votes in the first round.

Enhypen's international fandom, who worked hard voting for a month, is now raising concerns about vote manipulation.

Does it make sense that the Visa Fans' Choice Award's rankings are kept hidden when the award itself is based on fan votes 100%?

Mnet’s MAMA production team should fairly disclose the voting rate and ranking for the Visa Fans' Choice Award.

+) Fans' Choice 1st round public voting result: ENHYPEN 1st place.

Fans' Choice 2nd round public voting: ENHYPEN ranked 1st for two weeks straight.

+)

Fans are aware that the voting for the Fan Choice and the Visa Fan Choice of the Year Awards are separate, so Enhypen's fans voted in both categories.

Enhypen's voting accounts kept emphasizing that there were two separate votes.

When voting for Fan Choice, the Visa voting would automatically appear, so why didn’t people vote for both?

But it’s strange that while Enhypen was ranked 1st in the public voting (with disclosed rankings), only the Visa voting, which kept its rankings hidden, had Jimin ranked 1st.

This is why the whole situation causes an uproar over accusations of vote manipulations, even among international fans.

Fans are calling for MAMA to disclose the voting rates and rankings fairly.

Isn’t it natural to expect full transparency of the rankings in a 100% fan-vote-based award?

theqoo

-Reveal the vote count.

-It’s shady from the start that the vote count is not disclosed. Even if they reveal it later, how can we trust it?

-It’s definitely shady, but since it’s a fight between the beneficiary groups of that company, I just want to say, "F*ck this. Whatever. You guys fight it out yourselves.”

-Both of them are under HYBE, so let them figure it out themselves.

-But the fact that they're not revealing the results is very shady.

-If it's 100% based on fan votes, the results should be fully disclosed.

-Family fightㅋ

-Since they’re fighting amongst themselves, whatever. But it's indeed hilarious how they keep the vote results hidden when it's 100% based on fan votes.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are they trying to kill each other?

-It's so funny that these Haboongies are trying to slander each otherㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Enhypen is really popular in Chinaㅋㅋ

-Now that I think about it, they’re both from HYBE.

-They should've given that award to Enhypen.

-What a messㅋㅋㅋ

-Disclose the results.

-Award thiefㅋㅋㅋ But the fans must be so pissed off since they worked so har on the voting.

-If it’s an award based on votes, they should disclose the vote counts.
