Not long ago, I visited the hospital, and there were many young people, maybe because the deceased were in their early 20s. Some old-fashioned black suits stood bent at the entrance of the funeral home, facing each other and whispering their opinions on the process of mourning. "Hey, do you turn the scent to the left? Do you turn your knees?"

People who do not have much experience in paying tribute at a funeral home tend to refrain from behaving excessively and cringe. Meeting a dead person is not a daily occurrence. Then, sometimes you forget what you went to do and are buried in the form of someone else's gaze or funeral ritual. In fact, whether you turn the incense to the left, to the right, offer flowers everywhere, bow or not, what does that mean to the deceased? When you go to pay your respects, you just have to mourn your death deeply and console your family in accordance with the nature of the act of mourning.

The fact that actor Jung Woo-sung's out-of-wedlock children exist is a hot topic. Celebration and hospitality are the most essential reactions that society must have when a healthy child is born with the blessing of his or her family. It will be even more so in countries with low birth rates such as Korea. Concerns and solutions about various side effects and difficulties that may occur in the process of human childbirth and rearing can be done then and when concerns arise.

Some criticize those who talk about Jung Woo-sung's out-of-wedlock children's issues why he talks about other people's family history. However, if you think about it more, I think that a society where everyone nods like sages who have lived for a long time without excitement after hearing the news is probably an old society that is not far from extinction. I hope there will be a conversation that does not forget celebration and hospitality while freely expressing their old feelings, affirming various types of families.
