According to the National Election Broadcasting Debate Commission, Choo Mi-ae of the ruling Democratic Party (DP), Yang Hyang-ja of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP), and Cho Eung-cheon of the minor Reform Party are scheduled to face off in a live debate co-hosted by terrestrial broadcasters KBS, MBC, and SBS at 11:00 p.m.
With this first and only debate during the official campaign period, all three candidates are reportedly preparing intensively, as they see it as crucial for winning over undecided voters. It is known that they took the day off from campaigning to rehearse for the debate.
Meanwhile, a survey of more than 800 voters in the province with the largest population, conducted in mid-May, found that nearly half or 47.9 percent chose Choo as the most suitable candidate, followed by Yang at 33.8 percent and Cho at 5.5 percent.
