BTS’s Jin is facing controversy after casting his vote in South Korea’s 21st presidential election on June 3rd KST.
Jin voted at the Hannam-dong No. 3 polling station in Yongsan District, Seoul. He wore a gray hoodie pulled over his head, likely to avoid any speculation about his political views.
This choice of neutral attire has been praised. It comes after recent backlash against other celebrities like Karina, Hong Jin Kyung, and Beenzino, who were criticized for wearing clothing in colors associated with specific political parties.
Voting hours ran from 6 AM to 8 PM, with 14,295 polling stations across the country. This was a by-election, which extended voting hours by two hours. Early voting took place on May 29th and 30th.
This situation is being watched closely by fans and political commentators alike. Jin is treating the incident seriously, maintaining his focus on the voting process.
