Former defence and finance ministers, who align themselves with Shinzo Abe and his policies, are the most likely successors to lead the world's third-largest economy.
Both Moon and Japan's Shinzo Abe have taken cautious moves in recent years on the anniversary marking Japan's World War II surrender that ended its colonial rule over the Korean Peninsula.
Abe’s approval slid to a record low as the public fears Japan may be sitting on a ticking time bomb even as its death toll remains close to the number the US sees in a day.
