Some media and expert outlets have described Yoon Suk-yeol political positions as "right-wing populist", "Trumpist", and "far-right" because of Yoon Suk-yeol's anti-Chinese rhetoric, right-wing nationalist nature, hostile attitude toward opposition and the critical media, hardline social conservatism, negative attitudes toward feminism, and positive attitudes toward possessing nuclear weapons. Yoon Suk-yeol and his supporters deny allegations that he is far-right or a Trumpist.[lower-alpha 2][9][10][11][12][13] However, unlike the original-Trumpism, anti-immigration attitude is not noticeable.[14]

The term was also used to point out the controversy over anti-feminism by Lee Jun-seok, the former party leader of the PPP.[15][16] Historically, this term has also been used to refer to Hong Joon-pyo's right-wing nationalist tendencies. Prior to the rise of Yoon Suk-yeol and Lee Jun-seok, Hong Joon-pyo was mainly compared to Donald Trump.[17]

Notes
  1. It is variously expressed in Korean language as "K-트럼프",[1] "K-트럼피즘",[2] "한국판 트럼프",[3] and "한국판 트럼피즘".[4]
  2. Although some South Korean conservatives support social and cultural policies similar to Donald Trump, but they oppose Trumpism. The reason is that Donald Trump supports pro-North Korea foreign policy supported by South Korean liberals.[7] The way South Korean liberals view Donald Trump is complex, most of which oppose Trumpism-based social and cultural policies, but at the same time tend to support Donald Trump's pro-North Korean foreign policy.[8][9]
