It's worth mentioning that, as per some recent polls, Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential contender, is currently stealing the show, leading in a hypothetical three-way race[1]. In one scenario, Lee Jae-myung secured 46.5% support compared to Han Duck-soo's 34.3% and Lee Jun-seok's 5.9% from the Reform Party[2]. Another poll put Lee Jae-myung's support at 46.6% against Kim Moon-soo's 27.8% and Lee Jun-seok's 7.5%[2]. However, these polls were taken prior to the Supreme Court's order for a retrial in an election law case involving Lee Jae-myung, which might influence future poll results[2].
Han Duck-soo has already announced plans for a meeting with Kim Moon-soo on Monday[3]. Kim Moon-soo, on his first day of campaigning, vowed to give the Democratic Party a taste of their own medicine if they continued their smear tactics[4].
This dynamic three-way race promises to deliver an exciting electoral season in South Korea. Stay tuned for more updates!
