Vote wisely....



It's not that I understand Korean, but this clip here is one of the memorable scenes from this Korean drama "President" which I'm watching on KBS World.

"Jang Il Jun" is a presidential candidate facing a group of student in this scene where he chided these undergraduates why they, besides the politicians, should be blamed as well for the present woes facing the country.

If I remember correctly what the subtitles mentioned, it goes something like these.

"It's because you are not interested in the politics!" said Jang

"Instead voting on the polling day that decided the fate, future of the nation, you people choose to spend that day to go dating, having fun out there and leave it to the politicians.

"And when the country is eventually run by those inept politicians that us to a bleak situation, you would just pin the blame on them when you in the first place did not exercise your right as a voter wisely." as he continued with his rhetoric.

"So don't you think you should bear some responsibility as well?" he asked a bewildered audience as seen in the clip.

At the end of the day, not only Jang managed to convey his message across the group of student, it eventually hiked his approval rating as well.

So doesn't it makes sense that it's not about who you vote for, but did you vote wisely in the first place?
