Earlier, we reported that Lee Hyori casted her vote in Seoul’s mayoral elections, which generated positive feedback from netizens. Aside from voting, Lee Hyori also encouraged everyone to vote in the elections via Twitter, by re-tweeting a message posted by author Lee Oisoo. However, this act not only did not generate the same positive feedback as her act of voting, but it actually generated criticism towards Lee Hyori.

The message re-tweeted by Lee Hyori states, "To all young people out there, are you dissatisfied with the world? If so, then vote. The world needs to change. Your vote will become the light that chases the darkness away." However, in re-tweeting the message, Lee Hyori did not put "RT" at the beginning, thus leading people to think that it was actually her own message.

Approximately seven hours after the incident, Lee Hyori tweeted again, noting that the message was not actually written by herself, but by Lee Oisoo. She also stated, "At my level, I would only be able to tell everyone to go vote. Ah, I’m embarrassed. But I’m just hoping that, as a citizen of Seoul, people should participate in the voting of Seoul’s mayoral elections. Why do you have to say I have courage, and why do you have to yell at me? Am I not allowed to say it? The messages and replies always scare me."

Netizens tried to make Lee Hyori feel better by saying, "It’s only a big deal because you have the ability to significantly influence others."

That's absolutely ridiculous. Even if she didn't write it, she shares the sentiments, and therefore people shouldn't shout at her. Obviously she wants the same thing as Lee Oisoo. I don't get them. Just a "RT" problem? What's the big deal?
These idiots, aish.

RT stands for re-tweet? So when you re-tweet someone`s message, you have to put RT at the beginning, or am I missing something? I thought it shows by itself when you re-tweet.
I don`t have twitter. I`m just thinking of creating it.

it shows by itself when you retweet, but with the old twitter, you had to put "RT" before it and if you want to comment someone's tweet even now, you usually put "RT" after your comment, before the person's username and message that you copied and pasted.

If someone's twitter is unlocked, you can retweet any of their messages by the handy-dandy "retweet" button when you hover over a tweet.

For locked twitters you have to put RT before you copy and paste the person's tweet + their username, i.e.

RT: @twitterusername blahblahblah

For the first time ever I am defending her...
Damn ~Don't vote then and sit around and complain. A RT in front of it or not, you should still vote. Y'all look so dumb right now.

whatever, i am all about the politicization of youths. us youths rarely get the opportunity to speak up for our own interests and rights, it's not like an old middle aged men will ever really understand what us youths go through/want/need.

for example queen nicola roberts of girls' aloud spoke up in parliament on the dangers of tanning and i have mad rihspect for her forthat.

lol isn't the whole point of the RT button on twitter is so it RTs it automatically and shows the author's s/n and who RTed in grey next to it??? Or am I missing something here >>

You can also RT by like quoting or manually doing it. But n00bs might forget to add the RT in front as to not plagiarize...poor hyori she can't escape plagiarism....
