Singer Kang Won-rae criticized the state of poorly maintained restrooms for people with disabilities.
On the 26th, Kang Won-rae posted several photos on social media, stating, "It's too narrow for wheelchair users because there's too much stuff. Stuff? Obstacles? A person with a disability? Obstacles are uncomfortable for people with disabilities."
The posted photos show the interior of a restroom for people with disabilities filled with piles of boxes. There is insufficient space for a wheelchair to enter, and the door cannot even close properly. Kang Won-rae added the hashtags "Door won't close" and "School," suggesting it was likely a public institution.
Internet users reacted with comments like, "I don't understand why it's being used like a storage room," "Even without stuff, it's too narrow; this is excessive," and "Our society is still far from where it should be," expressing their sympathy.
Meanwhile, Kang Won-rae was diagnosed with paraplegia after a traffic accident in 2000 and has continued his activities using a wheelchair after rehabilitation. He married Kim Song in 2003 and welcomed a son in 2014.
