Article: Yoon Eun Hye's victory pose voting violations... erases picture "Meaningless habit"
Source: Star News via Nate
1. [+1,806, -718] The law is kind of ridiculous though because you could take a picture just standing there, no pose or anything, and still be breaking a law because you're creating the number '1' with your straight body ㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+1,539, -562] Honestly, she just took the pictures hoping to get more people out there to vote so I don't think the mistake was too bad. The law itself is kind of ridiculous.
3. [+1,245, -709] What do you expect from a girl that asks why soccer is played in the morning. Just be glad she voted ㅡㅡㅋ
4. [+215, -43] There are a lot of idiots here. They specifically said that taking pictures posing with your hands including victory signs or thumbs up is in violation of the voting laws.
5. [+162, -39] Does she have rocks for brains? They said that you couldn't pose like that a million times on TV. At least watch the news once in a while.

Source: Newsen via Nate
1. [+333, -62] You can't even call that public service, he's totally just hanging out and fooling around the entire duration of his service. He goes out drinking and plays games... And he still calls himself a Hallyu star... What an embarrassing to true public service workers.
2. [+302, -49] Kim Heechul, just you try to come out on Strong Heart and talk about your discharge, I swear
3. [+36, -10] The Big Star Public Service

1. [+859, -22] How old are you? Why are you voting for the first time NOW?
2. [+747, -32] If she's in her 30s now, it's been at least a decade since she's had voting rights... and it's only her first time voting now? Is she trying to brag about being being stupid? Pathetic
3. [+638, -13] I think she's going to get a lot of hate... Why did she even write that?
4. [+143, -1] Funny how her first time voting ends up getting her hate....
5. [+125, -4] What exactly have you been doing all those years instead of voting......?

Article: Lee Hyori thanks votes in their 20s for the turnout "I'm proud of my 20s friends"
Source: TV Daily via Nate
I don't really understand the response to this article. I think they're implying that she needs to shut up about politics because she's a celebrity and this is not her place?
1. [+609, -217] I really wish Lee Hyori would quit Twitter. She's really acting up.
2. [+189, -46] Lee Hyori.... cut back a little. A celebrity is just a celebrity, nothing more. Don't forget that.
3. [+131, -57] Is she crazy? Who does she think she is? Since when did she start acting like some intelligent woman interested at all in politics?
4. [+125, -32] Yeah, whatever, I voted for Park Geun Hye, and we all know you voted for Moon Jae In you ajumma.
5. [+112, -28] Who does she think she is to say thank you? Stop acting like she's interested in this field at all. Every time she opens her mouth, it's full of bs.

Geez why so hateful??
ReplyDelete'' [+747, -32] If she's in her 30s now, it's been at least a decade since she's had voting rights... and it's only her first time voting now? Is she trying to brag about being stupid? Pathetic''
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard. LOL
Of course he is going out... Do they expect him to stay locked in his room for 2 years ? Isn't he even allowed to vote ?
ReplyDeletenetizens are a mess today
ReplyDeleteI don't get the Lee Hyori hate either. She's not telling young people to vote for a particular candidate and why are they so pressed about thanking them? If she feels grateful because they voted, who are they to discredit that?
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the Hyori comments, but all the others seem reasonable. Kahi is 30 years old, why did she only vote now? I was eligible to vote from this year and I voted immediately.
ReplyDelete"What do you expect from a girl that asks why soccer is played in the morning."
ReplyDeletewhat? o_O
...... Why IS soccer played in the morning? Lol
ReplyDeleteidgi.. why is hyori getting hate? -.-
ReplyDeleteExactly. That's kind of a stupid question.
ReplyDeletelol shut up & gtfo you stupid elf
ReplyDeletenah all of them are dumb. many people don't vote, and shaming people who finally start participating in their democracy isn't a great way to encourage more participation. voting should be encouraged by everyone and stars posting encouragement selcas and messages shouldn't be attacked. and lastly, voting is a right and a duty and heechul shouldn't be attacked for exercising that right and fulfilling that duty.
ReplyDeleterofl
ReplyDeletewtf of course hyori voted for Moon Jae, the human rights activist who would have made a great president...ugh i can't even
ReplyDeleteEunhye's selca was stupid as she violated voting laws. Sure, the law is stupid, but she still shouldn't have done it. Many other celebs encouraged people to vote without breaking laws.
ReplyDeleteHeechul is not shamed for voting, he is shamed because he is allegedly in the military yet there are always news of him doing stuff, like being on twitter, going to parties, meeting with people, etc. Netizens value the army a lot, and he kinda turned it into a joke.
There are always many candidates, there's got to be someone you'd want to vote for. It's your duty as a citizen to vote. If you're not going to vote, then don't complain later about the state of the country (I've seen this a lot in the recent American elections).
EunHye:A little rude but true but I don't think she meant to break rules
ReplyDeleteHeechul/SD:His leg is messed up so there wasn't really much he could do but he should hide his head a bit more
Kahi:While it is strange she has had an eventful life so who knows what stuff could have prevented her from voting all these years
Hyori:These comments are just plain hateful she has a right to say what she wishes and she was sending out a thanks to everyone who voted.
he is a public officer he must stay low not going and hang out instead of working
ReplyDeleteIn a democracy, a citizen should also have the right not to vote if they deem all parties/candidates as equally incompetent (and that sentiment can be fairly common in some elections). If that's the intention of not voting then i don't see why it should be something to be frowned upon. The problem lies in the political system for not producing able candidates and not in the people. If there is no better choice out there then these people have a legitimate reason to complain about the state of affairs in the nation.
ReplyDeleteeunhye's selca wasn't anything to get riled up about. it's pure silliness. heechul was going out and doing his duty and netizens chose to attack him. they're not defending the sanctity of the army, they're using any excuse to get cheap shots in because they can't be bothered to actually get up and protest an unfair system.
ReplyDeleteand i haven't seen or read anything about kahi complaining about the state of the country. link me if you have. from what i can tell, she was politically apathetic but something about this election helped her realize she should participate. that's a pretty great development.
There's got to be at least one candidate that fits your view. Kahi is 30 years old. It's silly for her to just vote now.
ReplyDeleteThey're not even getting that riled up. Have you seen the top three comments? The other comments are just calling her dumb, and frankly she did a stupid thing.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly haven't read well what I wrote. Heechul has been acting like he's not in the army ever since he enlisted. It's pretty disrespectful to actual soldiers. Netizens don't like it. Simple like that. Are you saying you're not allowed to talk about it if you don't protest against it? Not everyone can protest.
I wasn't referring to Kahi complaining about the country, it was meant to be taken as a general thought (thus the comparison to the recent American election).
my comment doesn't apply to Kahi specifically; she may not have cared much for politics in the past for all i care, but I've seen several elections when the final candidates/ parties are both not worth voting for.
ReplyDeletewhen she asked that question? anyone knows?
ReplyDeletewell to sum it all up in one word: (huuuge) misunderstanding..!
ReplyDeleteand to cut a long story short--
It was the 2004 Athens Olympics and Yoon Eun Hye was the celebrity commentator for a number of games that Korea was competing in.
Now
the so-called "incident" happened when Yoon Eun Hye was introducing the football
match between Korea and Greece which was being broadcast via live feed
from Athens. Due to the time difference between Korea and Athens, the
game was broadcast early in the morning for Koreans.Now, this is where the misunderstanding happened..YEH apparently asked the main commentator "Why does Greece play football so early in the morning?"
Now that's a pretty stupid thing to say no matter how you look at it.. cos duh! time difference anyone?!?
HOWEVER she did not
say it. A bored netizen who had too much time on
their hands posted that statement and there it snowballed into a
ridiculous misunderstanding which gave Yoon Eun Hye a pretty bad name for herself. There is, to this day, no video or audio cut
of Yoon Eun Hye asking that so-called question, apart from a number of netizens
who claim to have seen it with their own eyes and heard her say those
words..
It's a shame Yoon Eun Hye's management company
didn't do anything about it. Yoon Eun Hye revealed what actually happened on Sang Sang Plus. But as
she said, the damage was already done, and she didn't care whether ppl
believed her or not cos she never said it and one day ppl will get over
it. Although it has died down, even 5 years after the incident, i still
see anti comments about YEH regarding that incident once a blue moon.
oh god. thats all i have to say :?
ReplyDeletebecause thats what she wanted to do. what are you gonna punish her for it? :/
ReplyDeleteI like Kahi but it's just silly what she wrote. It sounds just like "I didn't cared about our country before, but now I changed my mind". There's nothing to be proud about. She probably tried to convince people to vote, but that's wasn't the best idea ;)
ReplyDeletewow.. this is why I don't trust anything without video or audio proof... I'm glad she explained about it on talk show
ReplyDeleteThat's an unflattering picture of Hyori.
ReplyDeletemy god soo celeb cant be interested on politic?? wow must be living on a stone age!!! comment in lee hyori just plain ignorant and just WOW,
ReplyDeleteyeah, same here!! the comment just ignorant
ReplyDeleteI think it's silly. lol I'm not punishing her. She's 30 years old. She's had plenty of opportunities to vote.
ReplyDeleteI sense comments for this week full of hateness ....must be chrismast just around the corner n some netizen will get lonely..
ReplyDeleteA public officer with a 9-5 job. You don't expect that all public officers go straight home after work every day, do you?
ReplyDeleteNop and im not saying he is wrong what im saying is that is what public expect from a public figure, and well he always tweets and always doing other stuff and that bothers koreans cause there r tons of boys in the army doing the real job wikth guns and shit while he is not, i honestly dont care much about the army thing since in my country there is no such a thing
ReplyDeleteNetizen..................... :||||||||||||||||||||||||
ReplyDeleteI think for Gahi she shouldn't get to much hate, I know so many people who do not agree with any of the parties that come in...so they don't vote. Period. You shouldn't be forced to vote if you don't like either person who is up for president for example: Obama and Mitt Romney... several people hated both...so they didn't vote.
ReplyDeleteI think they're just hating on her because they assume she voted for Moon Jae-in (the liberal candidate) instead of Park Geun-hye (the conservative candidate).
ReplyDeleteThe election was super close. By the time they tallied up 94% of the votes, Park Geun-hye was leading by 51% and Moon Jae-in had 47%.
Park Geun-hye won, btw. You can read more about it in a CNN article: http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/18/world/asia/south-korea-presidential-election/index.html?hpt=hp_bn2
I find it funny that you're calling someone "ignorant" while being ignorant about WHY that person wrote what they did in the first place. Okay, then. Carry on.
ReplyDeleteYe~s, I heard about the results, which is pretty remarkable considering people thought that there was no Geunhye would be president. I won't even get into the political aspect of it all, but I think if they're going to hate on her for voting for a candidate they wouldn't vote for, they should at least pinpoint that as the centerpiece of their argument and not latch on to some irrelevant points that make them look like irrational haters.
ReplyDeleteim a fan of Heechul but honestly even i am starting to worry about his apparent lack of disregard to his military status at the moment. every couple of weeks or so we see pics of him attending parties with celebrities and going to events as if hes doing nothing. In korea being in the army is considered a very honourable but also very VERY stressful and INTENSE experience. most of the soldiers are not able to see their families and friends for months becuz of how intense the whole experience is. Yet Heechul is treating it as if its nothing but a holiday
ReplyDeletenow of course he may be working very hard but i just wish that he would stop putting himself in the public eye all the time while hes suppose to be working.
He doesn't tweet since he has not Twitter. The only way we can get pictures is when his friends publish them, which is not that frequent. Other public workers do what they want without being criticized because they are not famous, it's unfair to hate on him.
ReplyDelete최근 네이트에 정치알바들과 일베충들이 많아져서 그런거에요. 진보적 성향 보이는 연예인들 죄다 까이고 있죠.
ReplyDeleteu said it yourself they r not famous, ppl wont know what they do heechul is famous ppl always looking what he is doing he is expected to behave in a certain way, unfair yes but again he is a public figure.
ReplyDeleteand i never said i hated him i dont like suju yes i admit it but i dont hate any of the boys i dont even know much about them so yeah
LOL whatever Heechul *or any SJ members* do they always criticize n bash them..got used to it~
ReplyDeleteYou don't get it because international sites dont bother to write everything that really happened. They only report bits and pieces. Lee Hyori broke a severe rule and was extremely disrespectful.
ReplyDeleteshe took picture of ballot and posted it, even gave a middle finger. everyone knows Hyori's very political and she always hints and always..votes for other party, to make matters worse she even had a fashion contest going on with Um Jung Hwa at the voting site. They set up a competiton to who'd be more fashionable voting.. it's just that Hyori's got mad number of reporters who write good stuff about her, so no matter how many netizens bash her, the reporters will cover it up and make her mistakes seem so minor.
Hyori and Kim Jae Dong support the pro north korea, anti USA party. Hyori..i think she only support them because majority of young people are liberals...and so..majority of entertainment netizens are liberals...hyori is the ultimate opportunist, everyone knows that, and that is why she is getting so much hate.

Unless it's Siwon. They like him.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I didn't know about that at all. Well then, the hate sounds pretty justifiable for once.
ReplyDeleteLOL the comments on Kahi article. *pats her back*
ReplyDeleteThough the comments on Heechul article, what does normal public service officers should do during their free time? I don't get all the hate he's getting. If it's because he's serving as a public service officer instead of serving in the military, then.. OK.
He's in the military and he has decals on his nails and is hanging out all the time. Of course people are going to get mad at him. Not even other publlc workers do what he does.
ReplyDeleteWhen I said it was unfair to hate on him, I was not talking about you personally, don't worry.
ReplyDeleteSo since he is a celebrity, only to please netizens he has to stay in his room all the time when he is not working ? That is stupid.
As long as he is doing his job correctly, and for the moment there is nothing that shows us the contrary, i don't see the problem.
If at the end of his service we discover that he was not doing it correctly, then people will be mad and they will be right (like Psy, who was forced to do active service after his public service because he didn't do anything for two years).
He is not attending parties, he went to some friend's wedding, which is normal I think. The rest of the time, there are just some pics of him with some friends (and that is not pics that he publish himself btw). When he has free time, do you want him to stay locked everyday as if he was in prison ?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing which he shouldn't have done is accepting to become a DJ for the army radio. Even if it was only 1 hour/week for two months and it was because the army asked him to do it, I think he should have refused.
is not like he must stay locked in a room,he can hang out, i mean my bias who is also in the military went to haha's wedding and joss rose b day party but still he keeps a low profile compared to heechul beside u r missing the point that idols who go to military r the image of military, nowadays tons of kids dont want to join and do their best to skip it, u must understand that for korea the army is a serious thing, is all about honor, the love to ur country and if u dont go u dishonor ur family, so thats why many idols or most like all idols go to the entertainment unit or public service to promote army and why is it important to join, and ppl think what he is doing is disrespectful i mean he now has his nails done like wtf? u r in the army not preparing for a comeback
ReplyDeleteVoting is really huge there huh? I never voted though and none of my family has. But I might vote if Trudeau is any good. Quite honestly, voting now is meaningless because both parties seem just as bad as eachother. It's impossible to pick which less crappy.
ReplyDelete
