This party is so virulently pro-North and notorious for violent riots. They blindly support totalitarian Pyongyang regime and totally ignores NK human right situation. The revulsion against the party is nearly universal in SK. It is not a slur to brand them as pro-North. In S. Korea, many who calls themselves political left also applaude this decision because they want to be free of this political tarbaby called UPP. They hate to be lumped up together with this party, giving the impression that all political left is virulently pro-North and supports oppression by Pyongyang regime.
It won't be easy, though, to shake off the perception that so-called "Progressives" are "N. Korean front organizations in Sheep's skin." There are still many out there in various political organizations. The main opposition party has strong pro-North faction. There are militant unions such as All Teacher's Union, and a few other militant trade unions. They are controlled by rabid pro-North elements.

They most likely don’t ignore the atrocities of North Korea and want to bring them to the South.

Park Chung-Hee, the current president’s father, was a very authoritative “strong man” but also a natural leader who got things done.

It applies just as much here, where liberals call themselves one thing while acting completely the opposite.
