SHINee Minho Praised for 'Feminist' Views About Childcare: 'He Almost Smacked the Dude...' 

Internet users praised SHINee Minho after he scolded a man who lets his wife do most of the childrearing.

To commemorate the release of his first full album "CALL BACK" on November 4, Minho has been appearing in various shows to promote his release.

In a recent broadcast he attended, the idol then drew admiration for his "feminist" remark as he called out the streamer for his views on childcare.

In particular, the man stated while laughing:

"My wife mostly does the childcare."

Perplexed, Minho, while still being playful, almost hit the guy while cursing and immediately reprimanded him.

The streamer then explained that he has the concept of a "tired dad" on his livestream, and justified this by stating how he would attend to his baby at night from 7 p.m. and has to wake up at 5 or 6 a.m. to spend time with them. Between that, his wife takes care of the baby.

Hearing this, Minho said:

"No, that's not it! You should also contribute during the time in between as well, you rascal!"

The man excused himself that he's mostly away due to work but he would do video calls and stuff like that to make up for that.

Unconvinced, Minho called out his action.

"It sounds like you're doing all these to escape from doing all that work, but anyway, listen, from time to time you should also contribute and do childcare together."

When this clip circulated online, people were impressed by Minho's mindset.

While the task of raising a kid is the responsibility of both parents, due to the misogynistic views of childbirth in South Korea, this mindset is rare.

Koreans then recalled the time someone called Minho a "basic man" as an insult, but they refuted this by stating that if he's "basic," then Korea's birthrate shouldn't be a problem.
