Canadian Internet celebrity YouTuber "Prozzie" who has lived in Taiwan for many years recently released his latest video and pointed out that the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang has recently set off an unprecedented wave of discussion in Taiwan. Prozzie said frankly that he has lived in Taiwan for many years and has seen the rise and fall of countless political figures, but "I have never seen anyone have such a big impact on Taiwanese people." He also analyzed Shen Boyang's attractiveness in the video, and revealed that when he made a video discussing politicians' English skills, Shen Boyang was the only politician who personally left a message under the video on his channel.

Prozzie mentioned in his latest video released recently that he has seen many people running for mayor, but he has never seen people react like this. He has never seen anyone have such a huge impact on Taiwanese people, so he also visited some citizens on the spot to know what everyone thinks.

He summarized the three keys to Shen Boyang's popularity. The first is "a cordial and down-to-earth communication method". Compared with traditional politicians who are accustomed to using corporate bureaucracy or stereotyped reading, Shen Boyang can communicate in a language that ordinary people can understand; the second is "personal charisma and leadership", which can unite professional talents in various fields; and the last is "arousing the enthusiasm of the younger generation for politics", allowing many young people in their 20s who were originally apathetic to politics to begin to actively discuss election issues.

Talking about the interaction with Shen Boyang, Prozzie shared an interesting social story. He said that he had previously produced a video to evaluate the English proficiency of Taiwanese politicians. At that time, Shen Boyang was the only candidate who came to leave a message and interact in person. Prozzie believes that this shows the Shen Boyang camp’s open attitude towards new media and its active thinking in expanding young people and international audiences, which is in sharp contrast to the more closed propaganda model of traditional political parties.

Prozzie specifically mentioned that in his personal experience, young people around the age of 20 are usually not interested in politics, but this is the first time he has seen young people talking about politics in conversations, and they are excited when talking about Shen Boyang.

In addition, Prozzie also discussed the core political views of "HART" proposed by Shen Boyang, covering issues such as social housing, green space, youth development and disaster prevention. At the same time, the film also adheres to a balanced perspective, sorting out Shen Boyang's responses to the opposition camp's questions about the price of first-aid kits sold by his co-founded "Black Bear Academy", his position on the recall case, and his family's business background.

He also joked that after he ranked Taiwanese politicians' English, some people still criticized Shen Boyang's English. "I have also seen some people - although not many - criticize his English. But I have evaluated their English before, and this is definitely not what critics would do." I want to fight because they will definitely lose. Shen Boyang’s English is really good. He is much better than his opponent Jiang Wanan.” But he also comforted Jiang Wanan, saying that English is indeed not easy. The relevant embarrassing clips of speaking English were circulated on the Internet, and he felt sorry for Jiang Wanan.

Finally, he mentioned that he had no intention of endorsing any candidate, but the phenomenon caused by Shen Boyang among the community and the younger generation undoubtedly brought an unprecedented unique style to Taiwan's election campaign. He knew that some people would ask him why he didn't make a video introducing Chiang Wanan, otherwise it would be unfair. As long as enough people ask, he is actually willing to do it. The reality is that no one wants him to do it, but every one of his Taiwanese friends asks him to make a video introducing Shen Boyang, which makes him feel very special and curious.
