Kinda Pathetic Squid Game in Yoon Seok Yeol's Presidential Campaign
The conservative People's Power Party in South Korea has given their troubled candidate, Yoon Seok-yeol, one last chance to patch up their divided house and regain the lead they enjoyed in the presidential campaign. With only two months to go and voters defecting to third-party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, will Yoon be able to hold on?
Though he scrambled to revamp his image over the weekend with a makeover and bold Facebook campaign pledges aimed at disaffected men in their 20s and 30s, his super awkward flirtation with totalitarian propaganda has him being side-eyed by voters once again. It happened when observers accused him and other conservative politicians of fawning over a billionaire CEOs secret 'crush Communism' Instagram posts. To critics, Yoon had just endorsed Korea's shameful anti-democratic past.
Is it kinda pathetic that he's playing a squid game with his presidential campaign? Especially since it seems like this is his last shot? Can he scratch out that dalgona in time?
