There is criticism for inappropriately revealing the lagging gender stereotype that “women should wear makeup.” Candidate Byun, who was chairman of the Seoul Urban and Housing Corporation (SH), was controversial because he was known to have commented regarding the occupants of the shared house at an internal meeting in 2016: “Aren’t the people you don’t eat at home? ” Candidate Byun explained in a staff hearing held at the National Assembly on the 23rd that the statements come from the process of pointing out that the share house was designed as a way to have breakfast together at a shared restaurant. Candidate Byeon said, “Our culture doesn’t eat breakfast with people who don’t know each other. In particular, women are very cautious when it comes to having breakfast together due to makeup or things like that, but if you reduce the kitchen (sharing a restaurant) with the premise of having breakfast, will it fit the current culture (intelligence) “. : “It is difficult for those with little economic capacity to buy and eat breakfast unconditionally, because buying breakfast is a burden. It was also called work.” Regarding the statements of candidate Byeon on “makeup”, the president of the Ministry of Lands , Infrastructure and Transportation, Jin Seon-mi, noted that “(therefore) there is concern that it will promote prejudice against women.” In response, candidate Byun said: “It seems that it could have caused another misunderstanding.

Shin Sang-ah, general secretary of the Seoul Women’s Workers Association, said: “It is the recognition of women as beings that need to be decorated in appearance. The problem of not doing or eating in a restaurant is a matter of personal choice, not of putting on makeup or not. It was a difficult excuse not related to the story of a shared restaurant. “It is said that it only revealed the gender sensitivity that was left behind by attracting the problem of women’s ‘makeup’ that had nothing to do with the problem of breakfast. voices of criticism emerge from the political world. Shin Ji-hye, executive director of the Basic Income Party, told his SNS: “Does the candidate Chang-Hum Byun, who perceives women as if his daily life began only with the cremation, do you agree with the social coercion that they must wear makeup unconditionally? “What kind of women can live comfortably in the ‘shared housing’ run by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, which is not gender sensitive?” By Lim Jae-woo and Kim Mi-hyang, Staff Reporters [email protected]
