Some media and experts outlets have called him (right-wing) "populism", "Trumpism" or "far-right" because Yoon Suk-yeol is anti-Chinese rhetoric, right-wing nationalist nature, hostile attitude toward opposition and the critical media, hardline socially conservative, 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.[7][8][9][10][11] However, unlike the original-Trumpism, anti-immigration attitude is not noticeable.[12]

The term was also used to point out the controversy over anti-feminism by Lee Jun-seok, the former party leader of the PPP.[13][14] 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.[15]
