Father Kim Ha-jong, who runs’Anna’s House’, a free meal service for homeless people in Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, posted on his Facebook page on the 13th, “Today is a painful day because I am angry and absurd.”
He said, “An expensive car (Benz) came to the church. And the grandmother and the aunt got off. The two of them casually intervened among the homeless,” he informed of the situation at the time.
After seeing the mother and daughter appearing in a luxury foreign car, Father Kim said, “How did you come? There is a good car and a daughter, so you shouldn’t come here. They stopped by saying, “I don’t have enough lunch.” But the woman said, “This is my mother, and isn’t this a place that gives free meals? Why are you blocking it?”
Father Kim said, “If we think about everyone in the coronavirus like these days, we can overcome difficulties, but if we only think about me, society will be more difficult.”
He continued, “The first thing that I felt best when I came to Korea 30 years ago is the culture of’we’. However, these days, as the culture of’I’ is growing, it is becoming an individualistic society that emphasizes only oneself, and I am upset because I witnessed it through today’s work.”
The netizens who saw Father Kim’s writing were angry. Most of the mothers and daughters criticized their mothers and daughters as “shameless personality”, “did you buy a foreign car with the money you saved?”
Meanwhile, Father Kim Ha-jong, who came to Korea in 1990, has been running a social welfare corporation’Anna’s House’ in Seongnam since 1992.
