Kim Dae-ho sparks debate over household labor after posting holiday photo following 'no ancestral rites' declaration

Broadcaster Kim Dae-ho posted a photo of a large family gathering for a meal on his SNS along with the text 'no ancestral rites.' Kim Dae-ho, who previously drew attention through MBC's 'I Live Alone' by showing himself making 1,400 heads of kimchi with about 50 relatives, had later revealed on a broadcast that he changed his holiday culture by abolishing ancestral rites and instead buying kimchi.

However, as the photo revealed this time captured men primarily sitting at the dining table, some netizens raised criticisms, asking, 'Even if ancestral rites were abolished, isn't household labor still the responsibility of women?' On the other hand, counterarguments emerged stating that the entire situation should not be generalized from a single photo, leading to a variety of opinions circulating online.
