## Bio

Born in 1953 to North Korean refugees in Geoje, Moon Jae-in grew up poor in Busan, studied law at Kyung Hee University, and was jailed for protesting the Yushin Constitution. He became a human rights lawyer alongside Roh Moo-hyun, eventually managing Roh's winning 2002 presidential campaign and serving as his chief of staff. Moon lost the 2012 election to Park Geun-hye but won in 2017 after her impeachment. As president he pursued the Sunshine Policy with North Korea, reformed chaebols, raised the minimum wage over 16%, cut the workweek from 68 to 52 hours, and won global praise for his COVID response. His party swept the 2020 legislative election, but he left office in May 2022 after his party lost to Yoon Suk Yeol — his own former prosecutor general.
