South Korea’s two presidential frontrunners laid out their official campaign pledges on Monday, offering divergent policies for the country’s energy future and raising questions about the direction of its economy and global climate commitments.

While Democratic Party (DP) candidate Lee Jae-myung is calling for a publicly coordinated, climate-aligned energy transition, People Power Party (PPP) candidate Kim Moon-soo is promising to largely continue former President Yoon Suk-yeol’s focus on nuclear expansion, deregulation and lowered electricity costs for key sectors.
