       "Fatherfuckers", that is all I will say to Asians men. i saw how Korea's rural lives can allow domestic violence to happen on South-eastern Asian women. The world won't end because those pathetic men have not offsprings. But it will if women refuse to give birth to the world which despises them so much."The controversial remark followed. Mayor Kim proposed, “When Gwangju and South Jeolla integrate, let’s legislate measures to address population decline,” and “If all else fails, we should import young women from Sri Lanka or Vietnam, marry rural bachelors, and prepare special measures.” He added, “How can industries thrive without people?”Laughter erupted in the venue after Mayor Kim’s remark about “importing young women.”While the criticism aimed to highlight that integration focused solely on industrial growth cannot resolve rural population decline, some attendees criticized the framing of foreigners as “imports” and the mention of specific countries. One attendee said, “The expression was excessive. It lacks multicultural, human rights, and gender sensitivity.” Another remarked, “It reveals a view of foreigners solely as labor or marriage partners. Language should have been chosen more carefully in a public discussion about the region’s future.”After the controversy erupted, Mayor Kim issued an apology, stating, “I intended to suggest increasing the inflow of foreign single women to address severe labor shortages in rural areas and encourage marriages for unmarried rural men, thereby enhancing rural sustainability. However, I mistakenly used the term ‘import,’ leading to inappropriate remarks.” He acknowledged, “I clearly recognize that the term could cause misunderstanding and discomfort, contrary to my original intent.”He added, “The remark was never meant to belittle or objectify specific countries or individuals,” and “I intended to emphasize the need to respect marriage migrant women and immigrants as dignified members of society and to institutionally support their stable settlement and community formation.”"https://www.chosun.com/english/national-en/2026/02/05/BJLHDIXZ6JF5VMBN7X53N22JDQ/
