Lee Hyori's encouragement to vote draws criticism

Singer Lee Hyori revealed her personal thoughts on voting for the Seoul mayor election, drawing both attention and criticism for her actions  as a public figure. On October 24th, Hyori had re-tweeted Lee Weh Soo's tweet which said, "Have you never had any dissatisfaction with our society? If yes, please vote. We should not tolerate any more contradictions and corruption, deception and hypocrisy. Your one vote will be a candle of light that chases the darkness away." The singer's public advocacy for the political figure's quote has drawn criticism from some. The next day, Lee Hyori commented, "I was only encouraging fellow Seoul residents to vote for the election together, why are people saying that I have courage or throwing hateful comments? Um... Am I prohibited from saying things like that? Random men keep saying scary things at me, boohoo!" Continuing her post, she wrote, "I only re-tweeted Lee Weh Soo's post, I did not personally write that. It would be awesome if I could write that well, however considering the level of my writing it would only be something like 'let us all go and vote everyone, go, go!'... I'm not sure what to feel right now." It appears that Hyori only tried to express her opinion through Lee Weh Soo's original post for the election coming up on October 26th. Because of the criticism she received, she revealed her opinion once again throughTwitter. Source: Naver
