We all know that in any democracy, voting is an integral part of the political process. While it may not seem like it in the big scheme of things, every vote really does count! Local election day in South Korea recently happened, and some Korean pop music idols got a chance to vote for the first time!

Yoona from SNSD (pictured above) expressed her feelings regarding voting for the first time: “It was more nerve wrecking than my first live performance. For a few weeks now, I’ve been looking over policies and such very carefully with my parents. I feel patriotic and happy for participating in this event.”

Fellow SNSD member Sunny also joined in on the fun, saying that, “I’m really happy about this election because SNSD got to sing for it. I’ve come along way for my first vote and with that in mind, I will be more conscious of our nation’s politics.”

Others that came out to vote were 4minute’s Gayoon, 2PM’s Chansung, SHINee’s Jonghyun and Onew, SNSD’s Yuri, Hyoyeon and Sooyung, all the Secret members, and 2NE1’s CL.

Here’s a shout out to all you non-minors out there: Don’t forget to register to vote!!
