Seoul Major Information Center published a memo for pregnant women on its website on January 5th. Women were offered before the births, make simple and fast dishes like soup, curry and pasta from black beans, "To make her husband who are not accustomed to cooking, it was more convenient."
Before childbirth, Koreanians advised to prepare underway for her husband and older children underwear, socks, shirts, handkerchiefs and other clothes and accessories for a period of 3 to 7 days until they lie with a newborn in the hospital.
The information center also occurred and the appearance of the feminine. The authorities recommended women to have an elastic band with them, so as not to look disheveled, since some time after childbirth will not be able to wash their heads.
Neat hairstyles were not enough - they got up to the weight after childbirth: Koreanians advised to get rid of kilograms gained for pregnancy using homemade hassle. In a memo, it was written that "washing the floors will help stretch the muscles of the back, shoulders and hands."
In order not to eat more familiar portion and do not miss the workout, women advised to look at the things they wore to marriage and childbirth.
The shocked Koreans were indignant to the memo and began collecting signatures under the petition with the requirement to bring public apologies. The scandal came to the media and twitter and gained global scales.
Seoul authorities explained that the recommendations were copied from the site of the Ministry of Health of South Korea, which has already deleted its publication. All the dubious moments from the memo were removed by the information center, and the material itself disappeared.

It was written there that girls need to follow their appearance, and male make money. In addition, the document said that men who spend a lot of money on dates expect some "compensation" for it.
