[Asia Economy Reporter Nahana] Kim Geun-sik, Head of Vision Strategy at the People Power Party, criticized political fanatic groups, saying, "Only when the Daekkaemun, Taegeukgi, and Anppa disappear can progressives, conservatives, and moderates properly establish themselves," and especially added, "Anppa are even more severe."

On the 20th, Kim said on his Facebook, "The most representative phenomenon obstructing the normal development of Korean politics since democratization is the 'ppa (fanatic fan)' culture."

Kim pointed out, "The excessive fandom phenomenon toward certain politicians has become fixed at a blind level, making it impossible to distinguish between true and false, truth and falsehood, manifesting as fanatic support," and "When their supported politician is criticized, instead of logical and rational debate, they pour out blind and fanatic curses, criticism, and insults."

He continued, "Although smaller in scale than Munppa and Bakppa, there exist even more severe 'Anppa' who send blind support and loyalty to Ahn Cheol-soo."

He then criticized the strong supporters of Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, saying, "Even in the recent (Seoul mayor opposition candidate) unification negotiations, when I pointed out problems with the People’s Party’s demands and claims, instead of rational discussion and productive debate, they only spewed personal attacks, criticism, and curses at me."

He added, "Even the polling method was finally agreed upon today exactly as the People’s Party demanded, despite Ahn’s concession show yesterday," and "Ahn pretended to concede and tried to make it seem like the People Power Party was obstructing the unification, but in the end, the People’s Party’s demands were fully realized."

He sarcastically remarked, "Despite these facts, 'Anppa' mock the People Power Party and criticize me," and "After the Daekkaemun and Taegeukgi groups, now receiving criticism and curses from Anppa as well ironically shows that although it’s difficult, I am on the right path."
