Jonghyun speaks out on the issue of Korea's low birth rate


Article: SHINee's Jonghyun speaks out about cutting the school system, "I'm afraid to have kids"

1. [+334, -15] The majority would agree with him lately

2. [+303, -15] People can accuse Jonghyun all they want of trying to act educated and enlightened and all but I think he's a great person. He showed genuine interest in the Sewol Ferry accident and other societal issues, which is amazing considering how rare it is for idols to take interest in those sorts of issues. I hope he continues to take an interest in these fields as well.

3. [+262, -15] Call him whatever you want but he's better and more influential than all of you writing comments on this article

4. [+40, -4] I'm a man who has not even an ounce of interest in this boy group named SHINee but I think stuff like this should be praised. He's better than those other stars who are too afraid to utter a word on sensitive issues like this because of what it'll do to their image but sometimes having someone with as much influence as him say something has more impact than a hundred of us leaving comments online will have. Celebrities live off of the public's interest and I have no problem if they want to use that influence to make respectable comments about some of the issues in our society today.

5. [+28, -3] He always says respectable things

6. [+22, -3] An idol is saying what a politician should be saying. This idol has a better understanding of our issues than our politicians. Going even further, these idols are doing so much for our country by getting Korea known to international fans and foreign countries but what have our politicians been doing besides set the country back 20 years? If an idol who is super busy with his own schedule is able to understand the problems in our society and make a comment on it, how big of a mess are we really in? This is so hopeless. Korea is horrible at government and politics.

7. [+18, -1] Jonghyun is a hundred times better than any politician.

8. [+17, -4] Yoo Ah In and Jonghyun usually make the most comments about societal issues out of the younger celebrities lately

9. [+17, -3] It's unfair to accuse Jonghyun of putting up an act of looking educated and tryhardish because he's been saying stuff like this for so long now. I don't think it's a bad thing.

10. [+15, -1] It's hard for idols like him to say this stuff. I don't think Jonghyun's just saying it to present a certain image because it's not the first time he's spoken out.
