Moon Kook-Hyun
Former chief executive of Yuhan Kimberly, Moon is currently running as an independent.
Chung Dong-Young
Chung is the nominee of the United New Democratic Party, which was formed from the ashes of the now-defunct Uri Party. He has served as Unification Minister and two terms in the National Assembly.
