SEOUL – With the People Power Party’s final candidate selection convention looming, contenders Kim Moon-soo and Han Dong-hoon have seemingly distanced themselves from former Prime Minister Han Duk-soo, who has also declared his candidacy.Kim, previously aligned with Han under the banner of unification, struck a different tone recently.
During a visit to the GTX PR Center at seoul Suseo station, Kim addressed reporters’ inquiries about Han’s candidacy with a measured response. “I believe the press is showing considerable interest,” Kim stated. ”I will provide a more comprehensive statement after the People Power Party officially announces its candidate tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.”
Despite earlier collaboration, Kim appeared to create separation from the former prime minister. Following Han’s declaration, Kim told reporters, “I was not invited to the emergency martial arts council at all.” this statement is interpreted as an attempt to highlight his independence from Han’s emergency measures proclamation.
Adding to the speculation, Kim Jae-won, a senior official, suggested that Han’s candidacy might be unlikely. In a YTN radio interview, Kim Jae-won stated, “Everything is intended to form a conservative single system, and at the center of the people, it must be the power of the people.” He added, “I don’t think its possible for a former prime minister to be a candidate.”
Simultaneously occurring,another candidate campaigned in Busan and Gyeongnam,seeking to gain last-minute support. Addressing citizens at the Masan Market in Changwon, Gyeongnam, the candidate asserted, “Both Kim Moon-soo and Han Duk-soo are good, but now they are not those who will defeat Lee’s Democratic Party candidate in a dog fight.”
The candidate emphasized their own experience, stating, ”I was the leader of the ruling party, blocking the martial law, painful but passing through the impeachment, and I was passed by all the impeachment decisions of the Constitutional Court.” This was seen as a move to differentiate themselves from Han,who was involved in emergency martial arts,and Kim,who initially advocated for unification.

The lukewarm response from Kim and Han towards unification with the former prime minister comes amid the spread of “Lee Jae-myung Bitoron” rumors and follows the Supreme Court’s conviction of the Democratic Party candidate. The prevailing sentiment suggests that even without unification, they believe they can defeat Lee based on their individual strengths.
Speaking at the Masan Fish Market,one candidate stated,”The effect of yesterday’s ruling was that I was very likely to beat Lee Jae-myung when I went out.” Kim echoed this sentiment, saying, “If a former prime minister jumps into the presidential election, there is another national evaluation of a candidate as an independent candidate. In the process, there may be another change of public sentiment.”
The People Power Party is scheduled to finalize its candidate selection at the convention in Goyang KINTEX, Gyeonggi-do, following voting (50%) and national polls (50%) conducted on the 1st and 2nd.
