Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl has continued to steal the limelight with various opinion polls showing he leads prospective presidential aspirants along with Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung. A survey conducted by the Korea Society Opinion Institute on May 21 and 22 showed Yoon was the most-favored presidential candidate with support of 32.4 percent, ahead of Lee at 28.2 percent and former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon with 10.3 percent.
Now all eyes are on whether Yoon will be able to maintain this lead in the upcoming presidential race and become the nation s next president in March 2022. He has already emerged as the most preferred presidential candidate for the non-ruling camp, and will likely declare his bid soon, continuing to remain a significant factor in the crucial election.
