Democratic Party Criticized for New Banners that Demean Korean Youth
Korean youth are criticizing the Democratic Party for campaign posters that make them look dumb and selfish. With that said the majority of young Koreans will probably keep voting for the Democratic Party so the slogans are probably true:
Ruling party lawmakers on Sunday blasted the main opposition party for releasing new political banners that contain phrases it called “demeaning to the youth.”
On Friday, the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea’s election campaign committee revealed new political banner designs aimed at young voters in their 20s and 30s ahead of the upcoming general elections in April. The new banners included controversial phrases such as, “The party for me,” “I don’t know about politics, I just want to live a good life” and “I have no idea how the economy works but I want a lot of money!”
Through an official statement, the Democratic Party stated that the new political campaign centers on respecting the individuality and diversity of young voters in their 20s to 30s and hopes that it can transform its image into being a party that can be helpful to individuals and their needs.
The party said that the newly released teaser banner designs will be followed by final designs to be revealed through an official party event on Thursday. Until then, the teaser banners will be displayed across major cities and provincial areas for a week.
The phrases included in the political banners have been criticized by some members of the party. Padong, a youth opinion group for the party, criticized the phrases used on the banners, saying that the level of word choice is, “shocking.”
“What on earth does the Democratic Party think of the young generation?” said Padong in an official statement on Saturday. “Are young people an ‘ignorant’ generation that thinks only about having a lot of money, or are they a ‘dumb’ generation that doesn’t know anything about politics?”

Believing that Korean youth care about more than kpop and kimbop requires actually engaging with them.
Sadly, there is an element that is stupid enough to fall for those slogans. They will essentially be like the victims of inattention on Halloween 2022.
The rest, may it please God, will go beyond any of the parties’ rhetoric, investigate the issues,and vote for people who will work for Korea, not China, not USA, and not just themselves.
With that said the majority of young Koreans will probably keep voting for the Democratic Party so the slogans are probably true:
Well well.
@GIKorea is showing his true colors.
Considering his blog is dying, no doubt he is desperate to save it by resorting to these underhanded click-baiting tactics.
“Considering his blog is dying”
Sadly, not dying from you.
Can you help it die?

@Korean Person, am I wrong that young Koreans vote for the DP?

@GIKorea
Yes.
Young Korean males are generally known to hold conservative views and do not like that the DPK is siding with women voters at the expense of Korean males.
Why do you think the PPP made Lee Junseok its Party Chairman, right before the Presidential election?
Of course, he was pushed aside by Yoon who wanted to fill the PPP with his and his wife’s cronies, well you get the idea.
Further proof that @GIKorea and the Setnaffarians don’t understand how things work in Korea.
