Actress Jung Ho Yeon launched a campaign to encourage voting ahead of the presidential election.

This campaign was designed to encourage voters to vote ahead of the 20th presidential election to be held on March 9. It is a meaningful project in which stars from all generations donated their talents with no guarantees with the pure intention of participating in voting under the purview of exercising the right to vote, which is the right of the people.

Jung Ho Yeon also emphasized, "I believe that I am living to pass on a better life with a sense of responsibility for the next generation. Voting means taking responsibility for the next generation."
