[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, has announced a new YouTube content called 'Ahn Cheol-soo’s Anboxing.' The aim is to approach supporters with a more sincere side through a movie review format.

On the 19th, Ahn released a video titled 'Ahn Cheol-soo’s Anboxing Trailer' on his YouTube channel 'Ahn Cheol-soo.'

In the short trailer of about one minute, Ahn discussed the movie 'Honest Candidate,' which was released in February. The film tells the story of Joo Sang-sook (played by Ra Mi-ran), a three-term lawmaker who habitually lies but suddenly cannot lie before an election.

While watching a scene from the movie, he said, "Ugh, it’s so unpleasant. That (politicians’ irrelevant answers) is a common tactic," and added, "The reason why irrelevant answers work is actually..." hinting at a harsh critique of politicians.

When the host described the 'Anboxing' content as "unboxing the human Ahn Cheol-soo, opening boxes one by one," Ahn replied, "Anboxing is about removing the seasoning. So that all the seasoning buried in the Together Democratic Party can be removed..." sparking curiosity.

Meanwhile, Ahn’s remark about 'seasoning' first appeared during the 2017 Democratic Party presidential primary.

At that time, some supporters of candidate Moon Jae-in caused controversy by sending 'text bomb' messages to several other competing candidates.

Regarding this, then-candidate Moon said, "Such things can happen when competition gets fierce," and added, "I think it was like seasoning that made our competition more interesting."

After the controversy arose, Moon apologized, saying, "I heard that some lawmakers were hurt by text bombs sent by my supporters simply because they did not support me," and "Whether I knew or not, whether it was my responsibility or not, I take this opportunity to express my deep regret and offer my condolences."
