Taiwan this year's "nine-in-one" election To this day, the overall election situation is described in one word as "cold". The timely comeback of Han Kuo-yu in made people see signs of warming up in the "air-conditioning" atmosphere in early October.
Han Kuo-yu's comeback supplementary election not only made the DPP worry a lot, but also attracted great attention within the KMT. Even the KMT chairman Zhu Lilun felt "shocked". "It's either a flower arrangement or a big name for the election, and voters are a big name." Zhu Lilun responded to Han Kuo-yu's comeback when he came to Yilan today to stand for the county magistrate candidate Lin Zimiao. It was full of "strange flavor" and could easily be interpreted by the public as Han Kuo-yu came out to assist in the election at this moment. In Zhu Lilun's eyes, he was here to "arrange flowers".
I wonder what it would feel like to hear Han Kuo-yu and "Han fans"? Will it cause internal strife in the Blues? Will it affect the Kuomintang’s election situation?
How much political energy is there in Han Kuo-yu? In 2018, the Democratic Progressive Party’s old nest Kaohsiung City was overthrown. In 2020, Taiwan’s leadership election was defeated. Then, the newly elected mayor of Kaohsiung was also removed. In a short period of time, he experienced a happy and ups and downs of political life. Han Kuo-yu was scarred and became much more low-key, and the "Korean fans" had to choose to lie dormant.
But Han Kuo-yu is destined to be a "freak" in Taipei's political arena, and the "Korean Wave" will also be recorded in Taiwan's election history with a special "phenomenon". When many people thought that "Han-yu has become a thing of the past", in October 2022, public opinion across Taiwan exclaimed, "A hot man is back."
On the evening of October 2, Han Kuo-yu "joined" Hong Hsiu-chu , and tested the water temperature for the popular Taipei City Council candidate Wang Hongwei, who was on the platform because of defeating Lin Zhijian. The response was good, the media successfully focused, and the public was also discussing it.
On October 10, Han Kuo-yu, with the pun word "Water to remember the source", announced his comeback in a high-profile manner on the day the election headquarters of Xu Caiqin, the daughter of former Kaohsiung Speaker Xu Kunyuan, was established in this city that once made him "great joy and sorrow". Amazing energy.
The scene is crowded with people, the flags are flying, and the joy is shaking, bringing the first wave of the deserted selection! "Korean fans" gathered, and the Blues were excited. Some people estimated that 70,000 to 80,000 people were present, far exceeding expectations. Public opinion is saying: "Korean wave is back!" "Korean wave is back!"
. Regarding the Kuomintang's "nine-in-one" election, does Han Kuo-yu's card bring positive effects or negative energy? The DPP began to be afraid and internally urgent assessments; the top figures in the blue camp seemed to have begun to have other plans, and there were rumors that some people in the Blue Army were worried about "the Korean waves rise again." It is in this context that Zhu Lilun's speeches on "The strongest hen is Hou Youyi" and "If you don't come to the election, you can arrange flowers as big names" will naturally be magnified and interpreted.
