This squib presents an analysis of polarity mismatches attested in Korean fragment answers. Contrary to Kim (2013) and Park (2013), whose analyses are based on a TP-ellipsis analysis of Korean fragments, this squib puts forward a vP-ellipsis analysis of fragments. The proposed analysis satisfies the licensing condition of an NPI fragment answer, obeying the parallelism condition on ellipsis as well. Tense mismatches in Korean fragments also lend support to a vP-ellipsis analysis.
