South Korea Conservatives Nominate Hardliner Kim Moon-soo for President

South Korea’s conservative People Power Party selected Kim Moon-soo as its presidential candidate for the June 3 snap election, setting up a showdown with liberal Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung.

The 73-year-old hardliner, who served as labor minister under ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, pledged a business-friendly platform with tough stances on North Korea during his acceptance speech. Kim’s nomination comes as conservatives attempt to rebound from public backlash over Yoon’s failed martial law attempt in December, which triggered the early election.

Kim’s Pivot From Activist to Hardline Conservative

Once a jailed labor activist during his university days, Kim now promises corporate tax cuts and strengthened innovation policies while maintaining his “commitment to the weakest.”

South Korea Conservatives Nominate Hardliner Kim Moon-soo for President

The candidate faces an uphill battle against Lee, who holds a commanding 50% support in recent Realmeter polls compared to Kim’s 13%. However, Lee’s campaign was recently rattled by a Supreme Court ruling that reopened an election law violation case, potentially threatening his candidacy.

The political landscape grew more complex as former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo—a non-party member but Yoon ally—announced his presidential bid Friday. Analysts suggest Han could either split the conservative vote or form an alliance with Kim’s camp against Lee’s dominant liberals. Meanwhile, Kim remains one of few conservatives still defending Yoon’s controversial martial law attempt, a stance that may alienate moderate voters.

Why It Matters

With the June 3 vote approaching, all eyes are on the appeals court’s pending decision regarding Lee’s eligibility. The conservative party has narrowed the polling gap since December’s constitutional crisis, but still trails significantly as Kim makes furtive attempts to unite factions behind his goal of economic growth combined with traditional conservative values.
