“My wife mainly takes care of the children.”

Perplexed, Minho, while still being playful, almost hit the boy while swearing and immediately scolded him.
The streamer then explained that he has the concept of “tired dad” in his live stream, and justified it by saying that he would take care of his baby at night from 7pm and has to wake up at 5 or 6 in the morning to spend some time with him. They. Meanwhile, his wife takes care of the child.
Hearing this, Minho said:
“No, it’s not like that! You should contribute in the meantime too, you scoundrel!”
The man apologized, saying that he is almost always absent for work, but he would make video calls and things like that to make up for it.

The way Minho almost cursed and almost slapped the guy during the live broadcast as soon as he said that his wife mainly does childcare, and then proceeded to give him a lecture on how childcare should be done at the same way from both parents 🙂↕️🤍pic.twitter.com/rm2BAmLjex

ah this too!!! Minho didn’t say “you have to help your wife” but he said “you have to do it together with your wife”
it’s like saying the man shouldn’t be praised for “helping” his wife because raising children is originally the job of both parents. 역시 최다정. https://t.co/6KbC8oDTPV

Not convinced, Minho declared his action.
“It seems like you’re doing all this to escape all that work, but still, listen, you should also pitch in and take care of the kids together from time to time.”
When this clip circulated online, people were impressed by Minho’s mentality.
Although the task of raising a child is the responsibility of both parents, due to the misogynistic view of childbirth in South Korea, this mentality is rare.
Koreans then recalled as an insult that time someone called Minho an “elementary man”, but refuted it by stating that if he is “essential”, then Korea’s birth rate should not be a problem.
