The main opposition People Power Party’s (PPP) decision to formally distance itself from former President Yoon Suk Yeol is exposing deep divisions within Korea’s conservative bloc as the country approaches the June 3 local elections.
The party adopted a resolution Monday rejecting calls for Yoon’s political comeback, marking its clearest attempt yet to separate itself from the so-called “Yoon Again” movement that has gained traction among some far-right supporters following the former president’s conviction over his Dec. 3, 2024, martial law declaration.
Political observers say the move reflects growing concerns within the party about its electoral prospects, particularly in the Seoul metropolitan area, where public sentiment toward conservatives has deteriorated sharply.
Meanwhile, backlash from hard-line supporters has already begun to emerge. Jeon Han-gil, a conservative YouTuber, criticized the resolution as a betrayal of the party’s base.

It seems the rebellion of PPP Seoul branch led by Seoul Metrolitan Mayor Oh Se-hoon ( left ) and Seoul regional party chair Bae Hyun-jin ( right ) forced the surrender of national PPP. PPP national chair Jang Dong-Hyeok, pro-Yoon MAGA cargo cultist, is humiliated with this vote and facing internal rebellion from “Yoon Again” fringe. Conspiracy theory YouTubers are in uproar as their infiltration of the party is being countered by party’s professional politicians and court intervention.
In conclusion, Korea’s MAGA cargo cult seems to be heading to its destruction as they are abandoned by conservative elites and facing crackdown by the government. Yoon Suk-Yoel, its leader, is sentenced to life sentence. His YouTubers and evangelical pastors are facing various criminal charges from drugs to inciting riots. This led to conservative elites ditching the movement and fleeing in terror from them to avoid prosecution.
