South Korea election: Tensions with Pyongyang a key factor for voters in border areas
South Koreans will head to the polls tomorrow to pick their next president, with the race coming down to two main contenders. A recent Gallup survey showed Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung leading with nearly 50% support, while his main rival, Mr Kim Moon-soo of the conservative People Power Party, has managed to close the gap. Meanwhile, tensions between South and North Korea could be a key factor for some voters, especially in the border areas. People living close to the heavily-guarded demilitarised zone have backed conservative candidates for decades. Lim Yun Suk reports from Gangwon province.
