[Report]
President Lee Jae-myung was born in 1964 as the fifth of seven siblings in a poor family in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province.

Building on his experience as mayor, he was elected as the governor of Gyeonggi Province, although he faced criticism for populist policies at one point.
He was called a "gamecock" by some and "a breath of fresh air" by others. Opinions about him were sharply divided, but he began to be mentioned as a potential candidate for the next presidential election.

He lost by a narrow margin of 0.73% points of the votes but did not give up.

Then, following the declaration of emergency martial law, the impeachment of the president, and a sudden snap election, he was selected as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee with nearly 90% of the votes.
He appealed to overcome the internal strife and create a true Republic of Korea.
