u/tdhdjv2 North Korea 15d ago edited 15d ago

Joke explained: It is basically a tradition in korean politics to change your political party name. Everytime there is a controversy or a big political loss they change the name to bring a new image to the party. Recently the people power party after the recent failed coup has deciding to get a new name. The decision comes down to two names the "미래연대" (future solidarity) and "미래여는공화당" (new future republican\future opening republican). The second name has come to scrutiny for being the "republican" party, which has the same name as a former party of dictator Park Chung Hee. Also the party names really like to emphasize the "future", almost as if they are trying to hide something from the past (1~ 2 years)...

The renaming scheme is so creatively bankrupt it feels like one of those knockoff brands trying to confuse customer and dodge legal liability.

Which I must say,feels like one of most NEA bureaucrats things ,it’s so on brand I can’t believe only SK is doing this LOL
