Shinhwa group member and actor Kim Dong-wan has expressed his stance amid the controversy surrounding comedian Lee Su-ji's kindergarten teacher-related content.
Kim Dong-wan said on his SNS on the 15th, "It may have simply exposed the contradiction of expecting good education while not respecting educators, as seen in comedian Lee Su-ji's kindergarten teacher content."
He added, "It seems that, contrary to expectations, many people's feelings were hurt," noting that "the very word 'discipline' has become increasingly cautious, and the situation has grown more and more constrained. Amid a trend where small social experiences such as sports days, field trips, and school excursions are disappearing or being scaled back, the relationships and conflicts that children need to learn about are instead being pushed outward."

He added, "Children will eventually face the experiences they should have had within the protective environment of educators, but instead they will encounter them in a harsher society without any protection. The greatest victims will be the children themselves. Unless the authority of educators is upheld, necessary education and educators may gradually disappear."
Earlier, Lee Su-ji recently sparked discussion by satirizing the difficult reality faced by kindergarten teachers. Following this, experiences shared by some former kindergarten teachers sparked both empathy and debate regarding structural issues in the education sector.
Comedian Lee Su-ji's kindergarten teacher content.
Without respecting educators
The contradiction of expecting quality education
It may have been nothing more than revealing things as they are.
However, surprisingly many people
It seems to have touched a nerve.
The word "discipline" itself
Increasingly cautious,
The situation has continued to shrink.
sports days, field trips, and school excursions
Small social experiences
Amid a trend of disappearance or contraction
Relationships and conflicts that children must learn about
Instead, they are pushed outward.
Within the fence of an educator
Things to experience with less injury,
Ultimately, you will enter an even rougher society.
They will be exposed without any protection.
The greatest burden falls on children.
Unless the authority of educators is upheld,
Necessary education and educators may gradually disappear.
