President Lee mentions visa exemptions for second-generation Koreans born during the Vietnam War

President Lee Jae-myung mentioned the special visa system for the second generation of mixed Koreans born during the Vietnam War.
They said that men and women are suffering more than women, and they have been asked to investigate the situation.
On the 16th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (equivalent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan) released the minutes of the 25th Cabinet Meeting (held on June 10th).
According to the Korea-Japan Forum on International Relations, President Lee received a report from the Ministry of Justice (equivalent to the Ministry of Justice in Japan) on the current issues, saying, "When the US military was stationed in Korea in the past, many mixed-race children were born in Korea and were adopted by the US.
"There are many mixed-race second-generation Koreans in Vietnam, so have you considered giving them special visas for their children?" he asked.
In response, Vice Minister of Justice Kim Seok-gu said, "Currently, the Ministry of Justice is working to improve the foreign youth support system for the domestic growth base.
In other words, foreigners who have lived in Korea since infancy are allowed to stay until high school, even if their parents are illegal immigrants.
President Lee responded, "There was a social debate about allowing mixed-race Vietnamese people to come to Korea, but at the time, there were concerns that it would cause family breakdown.
"There are also reports that the bill was not approved because there were objections that the bill was not approved," Kim said, adding that he would check whether the bill was being considered.
He raised the issue of the economic downturn and said, "Young people are having a hard time finding a job, and they are being affected by it," and "In particular, young men are feeling victimized by the competition with young women."
President Lee said, "There is a high possibility that the suicide rate of young men is influenced by factors such as economic conditions, feelings of alienation, and reverse discrimination."
Minister of Health and Welfare Cho Kyu-hong said, "We do not currently have any related documents, and will report on them later." President Lee also said, "We are not sure if there is an official organization for suicide prevention measures."
