A difference in cultures: More 2010 KBS Drama Awards voting.
In addition to » the initial International voting going on for the 2010 KBS Drama Awards, there is now voting for Best (male) Actor and Best Couple, and we want to give you cloud Scorpiola’s tips to make that voting happen for you. (Thanks for your thoughtfulness in gathering this info, Scorpiola!)
And in all fairness, I feel that I must also bring up the point that this is where two very different cultures come together — the U.S., and South Korea — and may or may not mesh.
Whereas there, everything is done through personal ID numbers and that information seems freely shared, in the States we have been conditioned from birth by our government to never never EVER give out our social security numbers and personal IDs due to the identity theft that runs rampant here in America. So it is quite understandable that American fans will feel GREAT trepidation when urged to give out our personal information anywhere, much less overseas.
So, fans who are cool with this (and some of you will be), please go and vote for Rain and NaYoung! Give Fugitive your full support! (To our knowledge, the KBS sites are very secure when it comes to members’ personal info. Fans in the U.S. have been members for years and never encountered a problem.) Fans who are dismayed at the thought of giving out their ID… don’t be. It’s your right not to.
This Rain odyssey we’re all on isn’t just about us understanding and accepting South Koreans and their culture… it is also about them understanding and accepting us. This is what you call a two-way street. We are all what we are.
Aja…!

Hi, flower.
Yes, you must register on KBS TV before doing anything, even posting a simple comment.
It’s all in Korean because we’re talking about big daddy corporation KBS TV (in South Korea) now, where all the others originate from. And a lot of us have had problems registering there. Some people were successful, some people weren’t. Some people haven’t tried because they didn’t feel comfortable giving out their personal info.
If you give it a shot, I hope you get in. Let us know! 🙂

I do not understand how to register because everything is in Korean. Do I need to register first before I vote? What do I need to push onto register?
