Taipei City Councilor Lee Ming-hsien of the KMT revealed in a political commentary program that he saw in the council members’ internal group that a council member first posted Shen Boyang’s drug-related article from 12 years ago, but it was unclear who found it in the first place. He believes that the current attack and defense of Jiang Wanan and Shen Boyang on the drug issue is still a "call for battle before the battle" in the early stage of the election campaign, and the formal battle has yet to be discussed in the follow-up. Li Mingxian analyzed that the election campaign needs to take into account both the basic base and the median voters, and Jiang Wanan is building an organizational base. As for Shen Boyang's so-called "ocean current", he believes that its political cohesion is different from the "Korean Wave" in 2018. There is still a gap in thickness and penetration, and the momentum has both natural and human factors.
