A: Hey there! Did you know South Korea is voting for a new president tomorrow?

B: No way, really? What's going on?

A: Well, it's between two main guys - Lee Jae-myung and Kim Moon-soo.

B: Oh, the one who got kicked out as president before?

A: Yeah, that's Yoon Suk-yeol. They had a bit of trouble with martial law. Anyway, Lee is in the lead right now. He's visiting big cities like Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.

B: I see... And who's Kim Moon-soo?

A: He's from the conservative party. He's traveling around, from Jeju Island to Seoul. He says the opposition, which has most of the parliament seats, wants all power and could establish a dictatorship if they win.

B: That sounds intense... And what about Lee Jae-myung? What does he say?

A: If Kim wins, he warns that democracy will collapse. He's against Yoon's martial law move and wants change in the government.

B: Hmm, it seems like they don't agree on much... Any specific policies discussed?

A: Not really. Some people think they mainly attacked each other instead of talking about policies. Early voting happened already, and turnout was high.

B: So who do you think will win then?

A: We'll have to wait and see! Polling stations open tomorrow from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and counting will start later in the day. It's gonna be exciting!

Two leading contenders in South Korea's presidential race staged their final push for votes on Monday, with the election just a day away.



South Koreans will go to the polls on Tuesday to elect their new leader after former President Yoon Suk-yeol was ousted over his declaration of martial law.



The latest polls show the frontrunner is Lee Jae-myung of the largest opposition Democratic Party. He hit the streets in urban areas, including Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, near the capital.



Lee said that if the ruling party's candidate wins, democracy will collapse. He appeared concerned over Yoon's short-lived imposition of martial law, and called for a change in government.



His nearest rival is Kim Moon-soo of the conservative ruling People Power Party. Kim traveled across a wide area from the southern island of Jeju to Seoul.



He noted that the opposition occupies the two-thirds of the seats in parliament. He criticized Lee, saying the opposition candidate is trying to seize all power and establish a dictatorship.



Early voting took place on Thursday and Friday. Turnout was 34.74 percent -- the second-highest in past national elections.



Some critics say the two candidates failed to deepen debate on specific policies, and merely engaged in frequent campaign speech attacks on their rivals.



Polling stations will open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, and ballot-counting will begin later in the day.
