A recent Gallup poll has revealed that South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung is the frontrunner in the upcoming presidential elections. The poll, conducted by Gallup Korea, shows Lee leading with 49% of the respondents supporting him. Trailing behind are conservative candidate Kim Moon-soo with 35% and Lee Jun-seok with 11%. The survey, which interviewed 1,004 respondents, indicates that Lee is favored in most regions, including Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi. Despite pressure from conservatives, third-place candidate Lee Jun-seok remains resolute in his bid for the presidency. The latest poll suggests that Lee Jae-myung would still emerge victorious even if facing a unified conservative candidate. With just a week left until the elections, the race is heating up as candidates make their final appeals to voters.

The upcoming elections will be crucial for South Korea, with the candidates vying for the presidency in a closely contested race.
