Chapter 2: The Changed World
The world has changed again.
Currently, the United Nations, which holds authority beyond the sovereignty of each country for various reasons, has men demanding new obligations and various rights.
Fortunately, it passed with the unanimous consent of all member countries.
No, all the men combined their strength and made it happen.
Really...
When I finally brought down the gavel, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
We did it.
Finally, we blocked the worst future and installed at least a minimal stability mechanism.
I don't know how much hardship we endured for this.
There are still many big mountains left to climb in the future, but compared to the mountain we just crossed, it feels hopeful that everything looks easier.
We left room for additional negotiations with the international community, so let's leave it for now and start negotiating with South Korea.
No matter what, even with those guys who don't talk well, we managed to do this, so with guys who talk well, it should be even easier.
I sat there staring for hours, then organized the place I had been staring at for hours.
I took off the same headset that had been on and off irritably for hours and threw it on the desk.
Clearly, today at the UN General Assembly, there would be a 100-minute debate program, media, various communities, all of them would pick it up, bite it, and go crazy.
How am I going to handle this...
It was decided that in a week, a national debate would be held to solve various social problems that arose after the great change, and the participation of 512 Korean male nationals was already confirmed.
How am I going to do this...
The date is April 1st.
This is probably the most important day, so I need to prepare countermeasures.
My head isn't working because of the fatigue from the meeting that lasted over 10 hours.
I need to quickly gather the men and coordinate opinions and make plans...
"Thank you for your hard work. And it's amazing."
"What?"
"Look at this now. I thought you were a gentle person.... You created amazing things."
"Do you know how much South Korea has been flipped upside down?"
"Do I have to know that?"
"You're selfish."
"Then I'm selfish. I'm a selfish guy who acts to protect and expand my value in a changed world."
"You're not?"
"No. I also feel the same. But I think there should also be a choice to sacrifice one's own interest for the benefit of the whole."
"So you did that? If everyone tries to contribute enough to society, we can have an equal sex society."
"Of course, the cut line would be extremely high."
Yeah.
Our new obligation from the UN General Assembly.
It's that if women ask for sex after contributing enough to society, we accept it.
The reason women in a society where men disappeared and they have to do their work work hard is the motivation.
That was the new obligation that men in the world after the great change had.
It will disappear when the population imbalance finds balance again.
But anyway, no matter what, it won't be possible in my generation.
The population cliff has already been decided, and 100 years after the great change,
In a world where more than 40 out of 200 countries survive, it will be a world where many survive.
The world will eventually determine the hegemonic country by who first restores population balance.
Making South Korea that way is the new obligation born anew as a Korean national.
"Name Park Seonghun. Age 25. Military service. Single parent family. No special specs except architect license. Veteran of World War III."
"But?"
"The more you investigate your past, the less special your record. You could say a typical 20s man in Korea."
"Right?"
"But you seem to be doing the optimal action to maximize your interests in the changed world."
"Creating a community for men to gather and incite them after the international community unites around the UN."
"After the male protection agency is created and safety is confirmed, they appear and rely on the agency."
"And setting specific rights and interests needed for oneself, etc."
"Yes, I did that."
"How could you do that?"
"Most people wouldn't do that? I just made a rational judgment?"
After saying that, I stopped walking slowly, turned around, and loosened the tie I had been uncomfortable with during the meeting.
And I don't know why I did it, but as I walked behind, I also loosened the tie of the woman who kept asking me questions.
"Rude."
"If you don't like it, hit me. Agent Lee Ayoung."
And I gently kissed her.
Since there was something to do, I didn't do any other actions.
After all, in a month, the future where we have to have sex every day is approaching.
The life of sex hunger is already over.
After the meeting, I returned to the accommodation of the administrative agency created by the South Korean government for the purpose of male protection,
The official name is the Ministry of Male Family.
The only surviving male member of parliament, Minister Yoon Migang, was appointed as minister.
It says it will find and protect men across the country and naturalize Korean blood men around the world.
I don't know if it's possible.
Well... later, it seems it will even have the role of protecting children born through men.
I don't know how many of the Korean men overseas survived, but so far, 512 men have been confirmed to be alive.
Now, they are potential competitors closer to colleagues.
More importantly than that, I need to think first what the South Korean government, or rather South Korean society, will demand from us men.
While thinking about various things, I searched and dug through materials on the internet.
South Korea.
A country that exceeded North Korea's nuclear weapons during the Korean War and incorporated part of Northeast China and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region into its territory.
Current population about 40 million.
A country with Seoul and Busan as mega cities in the southern region.
The more you investigate, the more attractive our country is not.
During the world war, they stole North Korea's nuclear weapons and have nuclear weapons, and they don't lack cutting-edge technology and infrastructure.
Instead, thanks to being a war logistics base, the infrastructure is better than before World War III.
The newly incorporated territory is fertile enough to achieve food self-sufficiency.
The problem is that due to fewer labor force than the required economic participation population and insufficient human resources, social problems occur in the country.
Especially, there is no male workforce that was responsible for most of the economy.
Then, the social decisions that can be made are two.
Immigration and sex.
Accept immigrants as labor force and create future generations through sex.
Then, the important thing here is the ratio.
Actually, can South Korea, which was a single-ethnicity country, become a multi-ethnic country?
No, it has to.
For my life, survival, and value.
At 7 PM.
I was thinking about how to coordinate opinions among the men, and time ran out.
I opened a new beer bottle and sat in front of the computer.
Recently, men have been creating group rooms through the Korean national messenger and holding regular meetings.
According to the saying that when 5 people gather, one is trash, there will definitely be 100 trash, but because it's a problem where their lives and interests are at stake, they seem to unite better than expected.
They connect at the set time and send chats with set expressions.
Park Seonghun: Attendance
Yoon Migang: Confirm attendance of Park Seonghun
Then, even the South Korean minister personally checks attendance.
It was a rare experience that I couldn't experience even a few years ago, and the beer just flowed.
It was just flowing.
Then, from now on, we will begin the 27th regular meeting.
The agenda is 'How should we, as men of South Korea, accept the new obligations and rights passed by UN General Assembly Resolution No. 8458?'
All participants have equal speaking rights and are requested to speak freely and conduct mature discussions.
In the conditions to overcome sleepiness, the surviving men were mostly in their 20s to early 30s, so most were young.
However, as always, there are exceptions.
Yoon Minseok: I think we should follow the UN General Assembly resolution.
Yeah. Minor.
This is the ace move to maximize the interests of our 500 men.
Hah.
