Note: Voting is now closed and the Awards have been presented to winners. However, I will leave this post up for those who want to vote in the KBS awards. I imagine the steps would be similar though the voting selecting would change every year according to the dramas for that year.
Well, it seems like voting is open for the KBS Drama Awards. If you want to see Lee Jae Wook and Go Ara take out that best couple award, or at least have a better chance of seeing them both at the awards together, you have a chance to vote for them, even as an international fan. I found a past guide which taught me and I've modified it to teach you.
Step 1: Create a KBS Membership account
1. You will need to create an account: Click on the link here -> KBS Membership Centre.
Note: You can't just log in on your social media account as a trial member as it doesn't give you the right to use the full services including vote in Award shows. Please note that creating a membership will require you to send photo ID, so if you're not comfortable with that, it's something to think about.
2. Select 'Members living outside Korea'
3. You'll need to tick the the actual statements agreeing with the terms and conditions. It's not the most user friendly because these don't look like buttons, but I've circled what to click on (You can click on the picture below to make it bigger). Make sure the ticks become blue colour.
4. The form itself is pretty self explanatory, but I've circled some things you might miss or fill in incorrectly and get stuck on (a pop up comes up to stop you and you can't go further if this happens). Make sure not to forget the following:
- Next to Gender: Click on either 'male' or 'female' and make sure the ticks become blue colour.
- Next to ID: Fill in a username you would like to use to log into the KBS website. You will need to hit the 'check for duplicate ID' button to see if there's someone else already using that name
- Next to Email: The email address is split so that they have put in the @ symbol - you need to fill in your email before and after the @ symbol.
- Next to Social Security Number: If you don't live in US (like me), you can use another form of ID like your Driver's license, IC card number or Passport number.
- Next to Methods of Identification: Click on 'ID card image is attached' and make sure the tick is blue colour. Make sure your ID photo or scan is not too big in file size - if it's too big you will also not be able to move to the next stage
Note: There's a section under the necessary information asking for your Address, etc. That information does not need to be filled out - it's only for competitions, but they rarely have competitions that foreigners can enter anyway.
5. Click compete once you're done and it'll confirm that you've registered. There's is no email confirmation and it says it may take 7 days but actually it'll probably take less than that. I logged into the KBS website the next night and it was fine, meaning it was approved!
Step 2: Log in and vote in the KBS Drama Awards
1. Try logging in the next night after registering.
If the link works, skip to number 3.
If not you can find the page by following the instructions below:
If this link doesn't work for some reason, you can find it by clicking on the little magnifying glass for search in the top right hand side of the webpage. When you click on it there will be a bunch of recommended options that come up including KBS drama awards...Click on the circled things below to get to the voting page...
3. How to vote...At this point, you might want to open another window and screenshot any popups and put it through an image translator to know if you're doing the right thing: https://translateimages.site/
Basically you'll come to a page with lots of information about the awards. Scroll down and then there will be a little profile of your ID at KBS and some things you need to fill in. First make sure you 'Consent to the collection and use of additional personal information' by clicking the tickbox next to it. Then you will need to fill out a phone number. Someone said they used their own number and that was fine. I had trouble, so had to get a Korean number. You can purchase one or get creative (generators/forums).
4. Now you are ready to vote! The First Category is 1. Men's Popularity Award Voted by Netizens *
Only click on one person - who you want to vote...Lee Jae Wook is in the 5th row.
The second category is 2. Women's Popularity Award Voted by Netizens *
Only click on one person - who you want to vote...Go Ara is in the first row!
The third category is 3. Best Couple Award Selected by Netizens *
Only click on one person - who you want to vote...Go Ara & Lee Jae Wook are in the 5th row!
5. Then hit the blue button at the end to complete!
If there are any issues with your phone number this pop up will come up. You'll need to fix up or try another number if this happens. Korean numbers are 010 beginnings.
If there are no issues with your number, you will be asked to review your vote before submitting it
When you hit ok, you will get this confirmation pop up, Thanking you for your vote!
Once voted, your votes will be locked in and you will not be able to vote again....
Hope this guide has helped you to vote for Lee Jae Wook and Go Ara. If you need any help, you can find me and others to help on the
Janghaven forums here. Good luck!
