[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Broadcaster Hong Seok-cheon said he conducted sex education for his adopted nephews.

On the 13th, JTBC's '7.7 Billion Love' aired a segment discussing the recent public outrage over the 'Nth Room' case and explored how various countries around the world punish sex crimes.

During the broadcast, Hong Seok-cheon said, "Our country lacks proper contraception education," adding, "My adopted nephews are studying abroad. I earnestly told them, 'Even if you date, don't forget to use condoms.'

He continued, "At first, they said, 'We don't do that,' but as they advanced each grade, they said, 'That's right. That's true.'

He went on, "When one of my nephews actually got a boyfriend, I asked, 'You haven't forgotten what your uncle told you, right?' and they replied, 'Of course not.'

Broadcaster Alberto agreed with Hong Seok-cheon's approach to sex education, saying, "If you talk about it first, it creates a good relationship where you can discuss safe spaces."

Kim Hee-chul also shared, "When I was in middle school, I didn't study and went out every day. Since I liked going out, my father said, 'You go out so much, but learn about alcohol from adults.' We repeated that every Saturday, and because I thought about drinking with my dad, when my friends suggested it, I felt 'not really.' I think it's good to talk about it first."

Ann Hyun-mo also empathized, saying, "(Giving) sex education is much more fortunate and appreciated," adding, "Sex education should not be divided between sons and daughters. I think it can prevent bigger problems."
