Singer IU, actor Lee Dong-wook, and singer-actress Kwon Yu-ri are being asked by protesters condemning the shortage of ballots in the the 3rd local elections to prepay for their cafe orders.

Comments on IU's recent Instagram post on the 6th included: "Please prepay for Starbucks in Jamsil," "You know it's contradictory to protest the National Election Commission over democracy being shattered but refuse to prepay?" and "People gathered in Jamsil due to election fraud. Please prepay for them?"

IU previously preordered meals and drinks for citizens attending a rally during the impeachment protests against Yoon Suk-yeol Jeon (President) in December 2024.

Seeing this, some argued that IU should also provide prepaid meals and snacks to those protesting in Jamsil over the ballot shortage in the the 3rd local elections.

The protesters are making the same demands on the SNS of other celebrities who prepaid during the impeachment crisis, in addition to IU. Comments on Lee Dong-wook's SNS included: "The whole country is in chaos, why no meaningful post today?" "Posting on your feed at this time is impressive. You must be in spring?" and "Your voting rights are restricted and deprived, so why aren't you speaking up?"

Comments on Girls' Generation's Yu-ri's SNS also included: "Unnie~ Can you prepay for coffee in Jamsil now like during the impeachment rally?" "Why are you just watching the Jamsil voting crisis? Shouldn't you at least buy drinks or cheer for us? Why are you silent?" and "Why won't you prepay? You're a celebrity known for your proud, principled statements! We'll wait for you in Jamsil."

During the the 3rd local election main voting held on the 3rd, an unprecedented situation occurred where citizens could not vote due to a shortage of ballots. On that day, prepared ballots ran out early at 14 polling stations including Seoul Songpa-gu, Gangnam-gu, and Gwangjin-gu, temporarily halting the voting process. The National Election Commission urgently transported additional ballots and took temporary measures allowing voters waiting on-site to vote after closing time.

In response to this incident, Noh Tae-ak, the central Seon Geo-gwan-ri (Chairman), and Secretary-General Heo Cheol-hoon announced their resignations.
