It's the 19th National Assembly Electionat Korea today! Some Kpop stars who are eligible to vote this year are SNSD's SeoHyun, Miss A's Min, Dal Shabet's Jiyool, After School's Nana, B2ST's Dongwoon, Shinee's Key & Minho, CN Blue's Jung Shin & Min Hyuk, FT Island's Jaejin, UKISS' AJ & Hoon, B1A4's Shinwoo, Infinite's Sungyeol etc..so many!
TODAY'S VOCAB
투표 too-pyo: Vote
Breaking it down:
This word actually comes from the Chinese word 投票 (tou-piao) hence it sounds similar.
투 too: Cast/Throw
표 pyo: Vote
Today's vocab is simple and we took 2PM's Chan Sung and SNSD's Yoona from last year's election as our Korean Vocab Flashcard stars for this round! Weird that usually Chan Sung is paired up with Seo Hyun, right? Well Seo Hyun is voting this time! :)
Other tips:
1. If you want to say "I'm joining the election voting":
총선투표 참여해요 chong-seon too-pyo cham-yeo-hae-yo
2. If you want to say "I've voted":
투표 했어요 too-pyo-hae-sseo-yo
3. If you want to ask "Have you voted?":
투표 했나요? too-pyo-haet-na-yo?
4. If you want to encourage others to vote, follow what JYJ's Kim Jae Joong said yesterday on Twitter:
총선투표 참여하세요 chong-seon too-pyo cham-yeo-ha-se-yo
Let's participate the general election/ Let's vote/ Please vote
Jae Joong said: “Everyone, do take part in the General Election. Show me the proof shot (of you having voted)~^^”. And this was what he got:

Her Korean Things says:
I think today's Korean Vocab reminds us, who are over 21 that we should always take part in our General Elections. That is the one opportunity for us to contribute in making a decision for our country. I believe if a person has not voted, he or she should not complain about the government too much because he or she did not take part to have a say at all. Kpop stars are casting votes in their General Election, let us all do the same for our country in the upcoming General Election!
