Ha Jung-woo, who served about 10 months as presidential senior secretary for AI policy planning, has made a sudden political entry, leaving rivals scrambling in a three-way race for Busan’s Buk Gap seat. His resignation from the presidential office and swift candidacy have drawn criticism from Han Dong-hoon and Park Min-sik over alleged presidential involvement. A recent poll shows Ha leading early with about 35.5 percent support, ahead of Han’s 28.5 percent and Park’s 26.0 percent, highlighting his advantage despite the controversy. [PARK YONG-SEOK]
