To promote his new release, Minho has been making appearances on different platforms and recently appeared in a streamer’s live broadcast.

During the stream, the streamer was speaking about his family life, and as he explained that his wife takes care of most of the childcare, Minho immediately said, “Oh, no!”

The streamer then went into details about his “exhausted father concept,” and at first, Minho thought it was real and that he was tired due to helping to take care of the baby.

Streamer: Whenever I’m on any shows, I’d put on this concept… Like, a father exhausted from taking care of his kid. But people were like, “Please stop.”

Minho: Yeah, like- I noticed your eyes looked super exhausted, so I thought childcare must be taking a toll on you or something.

Streamer: Well, it is. I do go to bed around 7-8PM now and wake up around 5-6AM. That’s something that I do.

Minho: For the baby?

But this is where Minho became shocked because the streamer explained, “I take the mornings and the evenings. Everything in between, my wife does.” While the streamer might have been proud of this, Minho saw differently as he explained, “No way. You also have to do the in-between, too!”

The streamer explained that he “couldn’t” because he was at the office, but Minho hit back, explaining that the office seemingly was an “escape” from his share of childcare before adding, “You really do have to help out during.”

 

When the clip was posted, it instantly went viral, and netizens couldn’t stop praising Minho for his views. In particular, with the reaction some get for being a feminist in Korea, they praised Minho for his passion and the fact he scolded the streamer for not having equal responsibility when it came to childcare.

Minho has always been praised as the “ideal man” for netizens, and many say this clip proves it.
