[Global Times Special Correspondent Chen Lifei] The island "nine-in-one" election has entered the countdown, and the former Kaohsiung mayor Han Guoyu has returned as an auxiliary candidate for the Kuomintang, triggering the "resurrection of Hallyu" guess.
Han Guoyu has been active since October. He first published his personal calendar for 2023, and then held a secret meeting with Kaohsiung mayor candidate Ke Zhien. On the 10th, he ran for Kaohsiung City Councilor candidate Xu Caizhen, daughter of former Kaohsiung City Speaker Xu Kunyuan The headquarters inaugurated the public platform, officially announcing the launch of the auxiliary election within the party. Not only that, Taiwan's "China Times" said on the 16th that the Kuomintang Taipei mayoral candidate Jiang Wanan will participate in the establishment meeting of Taipei City Councilor Qin Huizhu's election headquarters on the 20th. Han Guoyu will be present. Whether there is a chance to share the stage, Jiang Wanan did not deny it. Han confirmed that on the 22nd, he will attend the inaugural meeting of the campaign headquarters of Tainan mayoral candidate Xie Longjie . Xie Longjie said that Han Guoyu was an important soldier of the Kuomintang in the south of Zhuoshuixi, and "of course he cannot be absent in this year's key battle to overturn Tainan." In addition, Han Guoyu is rumored to be a candidate for New Taipei City councilor Lin Dingchao on November 5th, and is expected to be on the same stage as New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi . Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhien of the Kuomintang said that Kaohsiung is the birthplace of Han Guoyu, and she will definitely find Han Guoyu's platform, but the time is uncertain, and the fastest may be the end of October or early November.
There are different opinions within the Kuomintang about the South Korean Yu auxiliary election. Some party officials said that Han Guoyu "lost" during his tenure as mayor of Kaohsiung, which severely damaged the blue camp's fundamentals, and his past strong performance also led to a rift between him and many key players in the blue camp, "If Han takes the position, it may be another. The beginning of a split". However, there are also many people who believe that Han Guoyu has a bonus effect. Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun said on the 15th that Han is a very important election assistant, and many people in various places hope that he will help, which can play a great role. Not long ago, the Kuomintang Hsinchu mayoral candidate Lin Gengren and Miaoli county mayor candidate Xie Fuhong, who recorded a video together with Han Guoyu, both believed that there was a bonus effect. Taking Lin Gengren’s Facebook likes as an example, the average number is about 2,000-4,000, but the number of likes in the two days after the video with Han Kuo Yu was released directly exceeded 16,000, showing that Han still has broad and firm support in Hsinchu City. By.
has been making frequent comebacks to Han Kuo-yu recently, Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe joked that Han Kuo-yu can't be asked to meditate at home, he always has to go out for a walk. Huang Weizhe, mayor of Tainan from the Democratic Progressive Party, who is seeking re-election, said that Han Kuo Yu has his personality traits and can attract quite a lot of followers. In addition, Han is also a very popular person, and the effect cannot be underestimated.
Zhongxing University scholar Yuan Heling analyzed that the voice of "Korean Wave" has gradually advanced from the south to the north, which has a bonus effect on the blue camp. The auxiliary election of the Korean platform can condense the votes from dark blue to light blue, especially for Taipei and Taoyuan. Most obvious. Among them, Taipei mayoral candidate Huang Shanshan and Jiang Wanan are in equal power, and the resurgence of Hallyu will help Jiang Wanan to consolidate the strength of the blue camp; Taoyuan mayoral candidate Zhang Shanzheng used to be Korea's election partner, if Han goes to the platform, "Korean wave It can be said to be directly injected." Liao Daqi , a professor at the Institute of Political Science of Kaohsiung Sun Yat-Sen University, observed that Han Guo Yu had already abandoned the Hallyu halo, and knew how to use her personal charm to set off the protagonist, clearly following the "warm current" style. It can be seen that he is cautious and cautious in the whole Taiwan auxiliary selection schedule. He is different from the past collision style and sharp-edged, not stealing the limelight.
"If the DPP's hegemony does not change, Korea Yu will have a public opinion market", "China Times" commented on this topic on the 16th, saying that when the Hallyu wave was in its heyday, only Kaohsiung joined the large and small contact groups of "Han Jiajun". It has reached 30,000 people. Nearly half of the people who have left the group have left the group in the two years since they left Korea. The actual mobilization of the group has long since declined. However, after the DPP came to power, it recklessly created a new "political hegemony". If it continues to pervert and challenge the patience of the people, Han Guoyu will eventually regain a place in the public opinion market.
