The Seoul City Government’s Pregnancy and Childbirth Information Center has published guidelines on her website on January 5, including instructions to “prepare instant foods like curry, black bean paste and soup, so that her husband, who is not familiar with cooking, can use them conveniently”.

The guidelines also said that pregnant women “should prepare underwear, socks, shirts, scarves and underwear in the drawer for the husband and children to wear for 3 to 7 days while in the hospital”, and advised to buy a hair band “for that you don’t look disheveled, since you won’t be able to wash your hair for a while. “

Although some parts of the guidelines remain online, the critical points were recently excluded. However, screenshots of the original version continue to circulate on social media.

The council also suggested that women lose weight by doing household chores like washing dishes and cleaning.

“Extending your hand forward when cleaning the floor will help to stretch the muscles of your back, shoulders and arms,” ​​read the guidelines.

“Hang up clothes you wore before you got married or small clothes you would like to wear after giving birth and look at them when you want to eat more than you need to or want to skip training,” they continued.

The shocked South Koreans started a petition calling for the official responsible for the job to be punished and to make a public apology.
