Rocking the Ballot! BTS Jin Voting Looks and Celeb Election Style
Who says civic duty can’t be fashion-forward? While millions of South Koreans headed to the polls for the 2026 local elections on Wednesday, some of the nation’s biggest stars turned their local polling stations into low-key runways, proving that doing your democratic duty never goes out of style, especially with BTS Jin voting in style.
From global idols hiding behind beanies to sweet celebrity family outings, here is how Korea’s elite encouraged the public to get out and vote—while keeping their fashion game on point.
Casual Kings: BTS Jin and Rapper Woo Take Hannam-dong
The quiet neighborhood of Hannam-dong in central Seoul got a sudden jolt of star power on Wednesday morning. Dressed in a cozy gray tracksuit and a slouchy black hat, BTS member Jin made a surprise appearance at a local polling station. Fresh off the North American leg of BTS’s massive “Arirang” world tour, the superstar didn’t let a tight schedule keep him from the ballot box. Fans and onlookers couldn’t help but admire how the worldwide handsome idol managed to look effortlessly chic while doing his civic duty. Yes, BTS Jin voting in a tracksuit is officially the new casual-cool standard.
But he wasn’t the only artist spinning tracks and hitting the tracks in Hannam-dong. Rapper Woo (Woo Won-jae) was also spotted at the exact same polling station. Rocking a classic white T-shirt and his signature black beanie, Woo kept it strictly Hip-Hop but entirely respectful, taking a quick proof-of-shot right next to the official polling station sign after casting his vote.
Family First: Celebs Teach the Next Generation
While the musicians kept it solo and sleek, TV personalities and musical actors opted for a heartwarming family affair.
Musical theatre royalty Son Jun-ho and Kim So-hyun brought their son along to a Hannam-dong polling station, turning Election Day into an educational field trip. Kim later shared a lovely family photo on Instagram, noting that they wanted their son to witness firsthand the true value of voting.
Meanwhile, popular TV personality Jang Sung-kyu also took a sweet snapshot with his son in Gangdong District. He added a witty yet touching caption aimed at the future winners: “To those elected to office, please do your best for our children.”
Social Media Reminders: Fulfilling the Civic Duty
For those who couldn’t be caught by paparazzi lenses, Instagram Stories became the ultimate voting megaphone. Actor Yoon Jong-hoon, beloved for his dramatic role in the mega-hit drama The Penthouse: War in Life, uploaded a quick proof-shot to urge his followers to run to the booths before closing time. Other stars like Jang Young-ran and the adorable actor couple Park Si-eun and Jin Tae-hyun also shared cheerful updates, reminding everyone that every single vote counts.
Whether they wore high-end streetwear or brought their kids along for a lesson in democracy, Korean celebrities successfully used their massive platforms to make voting look cooler than ever.
