He raised questions about the legality of the content on his social media.
As a father, he opposed the approach to sex education.
[TV Daily Reporter Han Seo-yul] Recently, rapper BewhY expressed strong dissatisfaction with the content of sex education for elementary school students. On the 20th, he shared a part of an elementary sex education textbook on his social media, questioning, 'Are they out of their minds? Is it illegal for educators to educate?' The textbook defines sex in terms of biological gender and gender as a social categorization of male and female, emphasizing the importance of understanding various aspects of sex correctly. As a devout Christian, BewhY cited biblical verses to express his doubts about the approach to sexual education, notably referencing the verse 'God created man in His own image: male and female He created them.' BewhY strongly communicated his discomfort, stating, 'Freedom without truth is mere indulgence.' Furthermore, BewhY is known for winning the Mnet variety show 'Show Me the Money 5' and married a non-celebrity girlfriend in 2020 after eight years of dating, with whom he has two daughters.
BewhY’s dissatisfaction is not just a personal opinion; it reflects a strong conviction about how sexual education should be conducted across society. He emphasizes that such issues significantly impact future generations, particularly when educational content may provoke backlash from parents and communities. His discomfort with not only the binary understanding of gender but also the diverse approaches to sex within society indicates a deep awareness of his responsibilities as a father. He is evidently contemplating what values to impart to his children, lending gravity to his statements. Through BewhY's comments, it is crucial to examine the societal attitudes and conflicts surrounding sexual education. His desire for discussions on sex within popular culture showcases the significance of his voice in this debate.
