Shoulder-to-shoulder Lee Jae-myung, Lee Jun-seok, Kim Gun-hee... Namesakes' 'Three-shot' Draws Attention

Three Friends Wearing Soccer Uniforms Visit Polling Station
Many Comments on Special 'Three Shot' Photo

A photo of former and current professional soccer players wearing uniforms bearing the same names as famous politicians and participating together in the early voting for the April 10 general election has become a hot topic among netizens. On the 10th, the sports YouTube channel Sportsnius uploaded a video titled "Voting completed with Kim Geon-hee, Lee Jae-myung, and Lee Jun-seok."

In the video, three people wearing uniforms of former and current professional soccer players appear. From the left, the uniforms are of Lee Jae-myung, former player of Gyeongnam FC; Lee Jun-seok, player of Suwon FC; and Kim Geon-hee, former player of Suwon Samsung Bluewings (currently Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo). The three figures in the video say, on the early voting day, "Let's go vote," and get into a white vehicle together. Later, in front of the Samsong 2 early voting station in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, they get out of the vehicle, link arms wearing their respective uniforms, and head toward the early voting site.

The person wearing the Lee Jae-myung player uniform joked after voting, saying, "I looked to vote, but why isn't the United Liberal Democrats here? Nor the New Korea Party?" The soccer players marked on these uniforms have previously drawn significant attention for sharing names with politicians. The channel seems to have focused on this point, gathering the three to vote together on early voting day and leaving a video encouraging voting.

Netizens also left many comments on the video, expressing amusement. In particular, some noted that the Lee Jae-myung player uniform is red and that the Kim Geon-hee player uniform has blue lettering, commenting, "It seems intentional." Meanwhile, Lee Jun-seok’s player uniform was a proper mix of blue and red.

Another netizen commented, "The election officials must have definitely laughed when they saw the uniforms," "Why didn’t Kim Dae-jung player and politician, or Oh Se-hoon player join together?" and "The kill point is Deutsche Motors."
