2024 South Korea General Election: Leader of the Rebuilding Korea Party, Cho Kuk at a meeting with supporters in Seoul
Supporters of the Rebuilding Korea Party, April 8, 2024 : Supporters of the Rebuilding Korea Party for proportional representation seats, participate in a meeting with the party's leader Cho Kuk (not in photo) in Seoul, South Korea, ahead of the April 10 general elections. The mock Gucci bag (L) stands for "Vote for 9 (the electoral symbol of the Rebuilding Korea Party)". The symbol of '9UCCI' is pronounced in Korean similarly to Gucci, luxury fashion brand, as '9' is pronounced as 'Gu'. The sign makes a parody of a scandal of South Korea's first lady Kim Keon-Hee who received a luxury Dior bag as a 'gift' in 2022. The green onions (C) makes a parody of South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol who aroused anger by finding the price tag of 875 won ($0.65) for a bunch of green onions a "reasonable price" at a grocery mall last month. The 875 won ($0.65) was a temporary discount price offered due to a government subsidy and the average retail prices of green onions was about 3,000 to 4,000 won ($2.2 to 2.9) for weeks, which was some of the highest levels over the years. A sign (2nd R) reads,"We can't endure (the regime of Yoon Suk-Yeol) even for three seconds". (Photo by Lee Jae-Won/AFLO)
