The general election is now three weeks away.
Let’s take a look at the current situation and the remaining variables.
Politics team, reporter Kim Ji-kyung is here.
Reporter Kim, first, shall we check the current situation?

First of all, Lee Jae-myung’s side sees it like a super-competition, ultra-thin panceda.
Last week, Kim Hye-kyung was at a disadvantage in competition due to the controversy over excessive protocol, and then the flow changed as Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol’s remarks on the corruption investigation and the shoe train controversy overlapped.
On the other hand, Candidate Yoon’s side sees Lee’s rebound as a very temporary phenomenon, so let’s hear from both sides.

“(Candidate Jae-myung Lee) is on the rise. Candidate Seok-yeol Yoon’s remarks on the investigation into retaliation became the trigger. I think the photo of the shoes on the train has an effect.”

“Recently, as it seems that there is a somewhat clash of opinions between President Moon Jae-in and our candidate, the progressives have gathered their votes based on the response rate rather than the votes.”

It’s still difficult to predict, but which floor votes will win or lose?

The immovable people who have not yet decided on their vote, especially women in their 20s and 30s, are attracting attention.
As you know, Candidate Yoon raised the support rate among young men by declaring, “There is no structural sexism, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will be abolished.”
The issue of men and women, which had not been seen in previous presidential elections, has emerged as a big issue.

“Because many people are judging that the Ministry of Leisure did not perform the role that many people expected…”
[이재명/더불어민주당 대선후보 (지난 달 15일)]
“They divide men and women into one side and attack the other. Are you trying to tear the country apart?”
How the presidential election strategy of Candidate Yoon, who has been targeting ‘Lee Dae-nam’, will affect the votes of young women, seems to be a hidden variable in this election.

The unification of candidates remains a big variable, but there hasn’t been much progress today, right?
◀ reporter ▶
The unification through the opinion poll proposed by Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo seems to have gone a long way.
In the power of the people, it would be impossible to respond to an opinion poll that does not guarantee Yun’s victory.
What remains is the debate between the candidates, but it really depends on the decisions of the two candidates, so I think we need to watch more.

Good to hear.
Until now, I was reporter Kim Ji-kyung of the political team.
