Chung Haram, the winner of the New Reform Party, said, ”Ban adult festivals?... Don't demonize men's instincts” (South Korea)

The coming-of-age festival was planned to be held in Suwon, Paju, Seoul, and other cities, but a backlash from the local areas occurred. Jung Hara (who was elected in the April 10 general election)
Chung, who won the proportional representation election for the New Reform Party, criticized this. In a message sent by a key party official on the 17th, Chung said, "Adult cultural performances in spaces that only adults can enter, or festival-style performances, are not allowed.
"What is wrong with women enjoying this right? It is common sense that to the extent that we respect women's rights, we should equally respect men's rights," he said.
She continued, "Since when has our society been saying that women's instincts are the legitimate rights of free and independent women?
"But on the other hand, a strange standard has begun to be applied to men's instincts, making them criminal and degrading and disgusting."
"A society that restricts men's right to sexual self-determination and demonizes men's instincts is not a normal society at all.
"It is normal to apply the same standards regardless of gender," he emphasized. Jung has appeared in musicals such as "The Man Alive: Choice," "Wild Wild," and "Mr. Show."
"Even though the performances are obviously not much different from adult festivals, they are especially notable for being aimed at female audiences," he said.
Although it is not a separate issue, when it targets male audiences it is treated as a morally disruptive performance that should never be held and is a performance that invites sexual crimes, and local governments are exerting unreasonable pressure on them."
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced that it will no longer be able to hold the "Adult Festival," which features Japanese AV actors, in Suwon and Paju, Gyeonggi Province, due to opposition from the local community.
The event will be held in Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu. The Gangnam-gu government then served a public document on the organizers, stating that it would block the event.
The mayor stated, "We will mobilize all administrative powers to prevent the festival, which is causing social unrest, from being held in Gangnam-gu."
