Abstract: At the general election on 15 April 2020 held amid the COVID-19 crisis, the ruling party in South Korea won an overwhelming majority. This election was a kind of “critical election” in which swing voters in particular took a safe, risk-aversive option of supporting the ruling party which responded successfully to the pandemic.
