Juchesasangpa or Jusapa was a minor movement in South Korea that supports the North Korean political ideology known as Juche.
History
Origin
The Juchesasangpa was in part a reaction to Park Chung-hee's Yushin Constitution,[citation needed] which gave Park authoritarian powers.[1] The fall of the Soviet Union and anti-communist laws in South Korea have had—and continue to have—a negative effect on the perception of Juche ideology in South Korea. However, after constitutional democracy was established after mass demonstrations in 1987, the Juchesasanpa died out as radicals were replaced with more centrist ideologues.[citation needed]
Criticism
Certain Leftist movements in South Korea are often referred to as "chinbuk" (pro-North), "Jongbuk" (pursuant to North) and "Jusapa" (Juche proponent) by Korean conservatives, anti-communists and others critical of the North. This perception is reinforced by cases such as Lim Su-kyung's, best known for attending the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in North Korea and praising President of North Korea Kim Il Sung in 1989, without first obtaining permission from the South Korean government.[2] She attended the festival representing the student organization Jeondaehyop, now known as Hanchongryun, who in April 2012 was elected as a member of the 19th National Assembly as the Democratic United Party's 21st proportional representative. In June 2012, in a confrontation with a North Korean defector in a bar, Lim hurled insults and referred to a ruling party lawmaker as a "son-of-a-bitch betrayer" and another as a "traitor" in what has been described by Korea JoonAng Daily as "an alcohol-fueled tirade at a Seoul restaurant", questioning their legitimacy to challenge her as a lawmaker.[3] This led to public protests.[3]
