A new <\/span>Realmeter poll<\/span><\/a> has thrust Acting President Han Duck-soo into the center of South Korea\u2019s presidential race \u2014 even as he resists calls to run. In his first-ever inclusion as a potential candidate, Han now ranks as the second-most competitive conservative challenger to Democratic Party (DP) frontrunner Lee Jae-myung.<\/span><\/p>\n

His <\/span>pledge<\/span><\/a> on Monday to \u201cfulfill the final mission entrusted to [him]\u201d indicates that he will not enter the race \u2014 but a growing number of ruling People Power Party (PPP) lawmakers, facing <\/span>collapsing poll numbers<\/span><\/a> and a weak bench, may not give him the choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Han, a <\/span>Harvard-trained economist and career bureaucrat<\/span><\/a> who has served under both liberal and conservative governments, stepped in as acting president after the Constitutional Court removed Yoon Suk-yeol from office in December.<\/span><\/p>\n

His technocratic demeanor and reputation for calm under pressure have made him a stabilizing figure in the wake of political turmoil. Within hours of Yoon\u2019s removal, Han convened an emergency Cabinet meeting, chaired a National Security Council session and addressed the nation to reassure the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite his own <\/span>impeachment<\/span><\/a> in late December, Han was <\/span>reinstated<\/span><\/a> in March and has since returned to managing state affairs. Not long after his reinstatement, he approved one DP-backed nominee and two conservative picks to the Constitutional Court, moves that simultaneously restored the nine-member bench and triggered political controversy.<\/span><\/p>\n

His role as caretaker has earned him praise from the conservative bloc while drawing progressive ire, fueling questions about whether he might step into a more partisan role.<\/span><\/p>\n

THE POLL THAT CHANGED THINGS<\/b><\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s Realmeter poll placed Han Duck-soo at 8.6% support among all voters, placing him third overall behind DP leader Lee Jae-myung (48.8%) and former labor minister Kim Moon-soo (10.9%). Among PPP supporters, Han polled at 21.6%, second only to Kim. He also narrowly edged out Kim among independent voters.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a hypothetical head-to-head contest against Lee, Han received 27.6% to Lee\u2019s 54.2% \u2014 the narrowest gap among all major conservative contenders, including former PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, former Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The same poll showed support for the ruling PPP falling to 33.1%, while backing for the DP rose to 46.7%, resulting in a 13.6-point gap between the two parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 58.7% of respondents said they would prefer a transfer of power to the opposition, compared to 35.3% who want the PPP to remain in government. This 23.4-point gap marks the seventh consecutive week the opposition has held a statistically significant lead on the question of regime change.<\/span><\/p>\n

In nearly every region and demographic outside of the traditional conservative stronghold of Daegu-North Gyeongsang, sentiment favored a change in government.<\/span><\/p>\n

With polls consistently showing Lee Jae-myung in the lead, and concerns growing that labor minister Kim Moon-soo might not fare well against Lee in the general election, given his <\/span>controversial record and polarizing public image<\/span><\/a>, PPP members are increasingly viewing Han as the most viable alternative \u2014 one they could plausibly rally behind to avert a blowout loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

CONSERVATIVE PANIC MODE<\/b><\/p>\n

Beyond collapsing poll numbers, the PPP remains fractured, with no single candidate commanding enough support to match Lee Jae-myung. Kim Moon-soo, despite his frontrunner status within the party, lost 5.4 percentage points in the latest Realmeter survey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon abruptly dropped out of the race on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

PPP members have reportedly drafted <\/span>public endorsements<\/span><\/a> and press statements urging Han to enter the race. Around 50 lawmakers were <\/span>reportedly preparing<\/span><\/a> to hold a press conference last week to call for his candidacy before party leadership asked them to stand down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even former U.S. President Donald Trump \u2014 according to <\/span>leaked accounts<\/span><\/a> \u2014 asked Han during last week\u2019s phone call whether he planned to run. Han allegedly responded that he was considering it but had \u201cnot decided anything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For the PPP, the risk of entering the June 3 presidential election without a broadly palatable, high-competence candidate is growing. The party\u2019s existing lineup has not demonstrated the ability to unify moderates or arrest its poll slide. In this context, Han\u2019s image as a stabilizing force, backed by real electoral support, is growing more appealing by the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

COALITION OR COLLAPSE?<\/b><\/p>\n

As the country\u2019s prime minister and acting president, Han is not a PPP member. Moreover, the PPP will <\/span>announce<\/span><\/a> the contenders who may advance to the party\u2019s first primary round on Wednesday. To qualify, Han would have to resign from the acting presidency and register for the primary election by Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the short time that he has left to register with the party, Han is unlikely to participate in its official primary process. Thus, if he chooses to run for the presidency, he will likely do so as an independent. This possibility has led to <\/span>renewed talk<\/span><\/a> of a unity candidate scenario in which the PPP withdraws other contenders and backs Han as an independent or coalition-backed figure.<\/span><\/p>\n

A precedent exists: In 2002, then-progressive candidate Roh Moo-hyun and independent Chung Mong-jun joined forces just 24 days before the vote. A similar last-minute alliance may be the only path forward for conservatives seeking to consolidate their fragmented support base.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, Han\u2019s recent moves suggest careful timing, if not outright calculation.<\/span><\/p>\n

His nomination of Ma Eun-hyuk \u2014 the DP\u2019s pick for the Constitutional Court \u2014 restored the bench\u2019s full composition. He also nominated two conservatives to the court in anticipation of two justices\u2019 terms ending this week, which forced the DP to <\/span>contradict<\/span><\/a> its earlier position in which claimed that an acting president is obligated to fill judicial vacancies.<\/span><\/p>\n

His phone call with Trump came just 16 hours before new tariffs were due to take effect. When the U.S. <\/span>postponed<\/span><\/a> the measures, it gave Han an opportunity to highlight his diplomatic value without campaigning overtly.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHY IT MATTERS<\/b><\/p>\n

Whether Han runs or not, his posture now shapes the strategic decisions of every major conservative player. His polling numbers give him leverage. His technocratic record gives him credibility. And his refusal to declare his intention to run \u2014 even amid mounting pressure \u2014 has elevated him from administrator to political variable.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PPP faces a narrowing window to reorganize. With support declining and voter appetite for regime change intensifying, the party\u2019s leadership may see no choice but to try to unify behind Han. If he declines, the June 3 election could devolve into a fragmented race with little chance of stopping Lee Jae-myung.<\/span><\/p>\n

If he enters, however, Han could upend the contest. He would not enter as a career politician or as a symbol of continuity, but as a crisis-era steward suddenly positioned to lead a realignment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the PPP under pressure to consolidate and polling trends rapidly shifting, Han\u2019s next decision could prove pivotal for the upcoming presidential election.<\/span><\/p>\n
