Expelled TPP Member Lee Jung-soo's 'Fanatic' Loyalty to Ko Wen-je Backfires on Party Chairman Huang Kuo-chang

The recent expulsion of Lee Jung-soo from the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) has ignited a firestorm of criticism, primarily directed at the party's leadership, including its new chairman, Huang Kuo-chang.

Political commentator Chang Yu-meng has offered a unique perspective on Lee's vocal opposition, suggesting that her actions are not born out of hatred for Ko Wen-je, the TPP's founder, but rather from an unwavering, almost fanatical, devotion to him. Chang points to Lee's intimate knowledge of Ko's personal life, such as the venue of his wedding banquet, as proof of her status as a 'pro-level' Ko supporter.

This is already a PRO-level top Ko fan, right? Who would know this kind of thing?

According to Chang's analysis, Huang Kuo-chang fundamentally misunderstands the nature of Lee's loyalty. Huang apparently believed that by ousting Lee and highlighting Ko's perceived 'ruthless cut-off,' he could neutralize her. However, Chang argues that such a tactic is misguided. True devotees, like Lee, are more likely to rationalize Ko's actions, attributing them to hidden reasons or believing he has been misled by others, rather than developing resentment.

This situation underscores a critical internal dynamic within the TPP. While Huang Kuo-chang focuses on consolidating power and perhaps distancing himself from Ko, Lee Jung-soo's fervent loyalty represents a powerful force that Huang may have underestimated. The analysis suggests that Huang's strategic miscalculation has led to an unexpected backlash from a 'top Ko fan,' potentially complicating the TPP's internal politics and its public image.

Super speedster Huang Kuo-chang calculated everything, but never expected to be backlashed by a top Ko fan.
