Yesterday (9th), the power of the people Kim Jong-in visited welfare facilities for single mothers and single parents.
Questions came up on the cutting board.

In particular, the controversial remarks came from the process of hearing the difficulties of operation from the facility.
“Unmarried mothers with mental disorders or intellectual disabilities are more vulnerable,” said Chairman Kim, “it would be difficult to manage mothers and children,” he said. “There are not many normal mothers.”
It means that people with disabilities are expressed as’abnormal people’.
Related organizations, such as the Korean Single Parents Association, criticized the remarks.
Other parties also urged an apology.

An official from the People’s Strength told JTBC that “the whole purpose was not that way,” and “I’m sorry that it could be bad enough.”
Chairman Kim, who had no public schedule today, did not make a separate entry.
