[+1,192] Man, nobody can say anything anymore ㅋㅋ everyone's so sensitive
[+1,079] I mean, he didn't say that to his fans. In the context, it was a message for his friends... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ so why is that a problem...
[+599] On the flip side, imagine if a female idol brought up the issue of how we have a shortage of soldiers in the military now so she encourages men to stop getting exemptions or applying for public service and join active duty... She'd be in the news for sure...
[+239] And what is so inconsiderate about his words? He's a patriot
[+387] If this is worth getting hate over, should we all just live with our mouths shut???
[+130] He was not asking his fans to have babies and contribute, it was a message for his personal friends. Does that still make it problematic????
[+136] People are being too sensitive... he was half joking, and he even added to it saying "But I'm sure they'll figure it out"... seems a bit overblown.
[+130] He should worry about his own contribution
[+128] I saw his messages. He was on his way to a friend's wedding and left a message directed at the friend asking them to contribute to the birth rate. It was not a message to this fans. Though I do wonder if he had to say that at all.
[+57] If you're leaving the fandom over this, please f*ck off quickly ㅋㅋㅋㅋ so twisted.
[+98] Our society is not even fit for more children right now. Whether he was joking or meant it in good humor, he is not going to be paying for these babies that he's encouraging be born so it's funny to me that he would say this around his fans at all. He should start by being a model example.. ㅋㅋ

[+385] It does seem pretty random for him to just say that on a messaging app with his fans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I think I'd be like "huh?!" if my bias said something like this.
[+77] It was in the context of his friends. He was talking about his friends getting married and having kids and asked his friend to contribute to the birth rate too. It was not a message to his fans. Poor kid getting all this hate over a joke he was making to his own friend ㅠㅠ
[+137] Not one part of that message was for his fans. He was talking to his friends. Where is the context?
[+111] It was in the context of going to a lot of weddings lately and asking his friends to contribute to the birth rate. There's no problem with this.
[+38] His fans are okay with this, why are non-fans taking issue with it?
[+10] Why doesn't he get married and have his own kids then;;
