Lee Jae-myung was once regarded as "Moon Jae-in's ** person".
Last year, he survived a hunger strike after 24 days
At the end of August last year, Lee Jae-myung, who was regarded as the "Moon Jae-in", began an "indefinite" hunger strike, and his demands included demanding that the government reform and a comprehensive cabinet reshuffle, as well as opposing the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea in Japan, which aroused widespread international attention.
After nearly 20 days of hunger strike, Lee Jae-myung was rushed to the hospital due to a sudden drop in blood sugar and almost lost consciousness. The medical staff begged him to stop the hunger strike, saying that after 10 to 14 days of hunger, "there will be irreversible damage to health". In this regard, Lee Jae-myung refused. After that, South Korea's former ** Moon Jae-in personally went to the hospital to visit him who was weak and persuaded him to end his hunger strike, but Lee Jae-myung still refused.
It is worth noting that on the same day that Lee Jae-myung was admitted to the hospital, the Seoul ** District Prosecutor's Office requested the court to arrest Lee Jae-myung on charges including dereliction of duty
South Korean prosecutors believe that Lee Jae-myung is suspected of taking advantage of his position to provide preferential treatment to private real estate developers during his tenure as mayor of Seongnam from April 2014 to February 2017, helping him make a profit of 135.6 billion won (about 7 yuan).400 million yuan), resulting in 20 billion won (about 1 yuan) for Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, which was excluded from the project100 million yuan). In addition, South Korean prosecutors also pointed out that Lee Jae-myung is suspected of soliciting $8 million in bribes from private entrepreneurs while serving as governor of Gyeonggi Province from 2019 to 2020.
On September 26, 2023, Lee Jae-myung arrived at the Seoul** District Court to prepare for a review of the necessity of his arrest. This is the first time in South Korea's constitutional history that the necessity of arrest has been reviewed for the leader of the largest opposition party. On that day, Lee Jae-myung walked to the courtroom with an umbrella and crutches, trembling to the shouts of supporters, sparking widespread discussion on social platforms.
However, just one day later, things took a turn for the worse, and the Seoul** District Court in South Korea rejected the prosecution's application for approval of Lee Jae-myung's arrest and decided not to approve the arrest. According to the report, the court's ruling this time allowed Lee Jae-ming to "escape". The court pointed out that the necessity of arrest was lacking, taking into account the necessity of protecting the suspect's right to be heard and whether there was a risk of destroying evidence.
On October 23, 2023, Lee Jae-myung resumed his duties, and when he attended a meeting of the Supreme Council, he said that Yoon Suk-yeol should comprehensively change the tone of national politics and reshuffle the cabinet.
Lee Jae-myung's life story is a typical legend of South Korea's bottom-level counterattack. Lee Jae-myung was born in 1964 in Andong City, North Gyeongsang Province in a poor peasant family, ranking fifth among five men and two girls. Compared with the children of rich families who were born with a "golden soup spoon", Lee Jae-ming said that he couldn't even reach the lowest-level "earthen spoon", and he didn't have a spoon at all.
After graduating from elementary school, Lee Jae-myung moved to Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province with his family. Due to his poor family, he was unable to continue his secondary school and became a "young worker" working in a factory, during which he also suffered an accident and left his left arm disabled for life.
He failed to study in school, but still passed the Korean college entrance examination. In 1982, Lee Jae-myung was admitted to the Law School of ** University. In 1989, Lee Jae-myung's law firm opened in Seongnam City, mainly defending labor and human rights cases, and began to devote himself to the city's leading activities.
However, his career was not without his challenges, as he lost the 2006 Seongnam mayoral election and the 2008 Seongnam City Council election. The turning point came in 2010, when Lee Jae-myung was elected mayor of Seongnam City, officially starting his political career. However, as soon as he took office, he faced the mess left by the previous ** - nearly 700 billion won (about 37.).9.1 billion yuan). In less than four years, Lee Jae-myung paid off all his debts at the end of 2013 and rebuilt his finances, winning re-election in 2014.
In 2016, Choi Soon-sil's "interference in politics" incident**, Lee Jae-myung made a fierce street speech on it, becoming the "first person" in South Korea to demand Park Geun-hye's resignation.
In 2017, Lee Jae-ming launched an attack on the ** throne with a "dark horse" attitude. Despite his defeat within the party, Mr. Lee's "soda (a word used to describe a person's straightforwardness)" was welcomed in South Korea.
In 2018, Lee Jae-myung did not continue to be re-elected as mayor of Seongnam, but set his sights on the governor of Gyeonggi Province, and eventually won by an overwhelming vote.
In October 2021, Lee Jae-myung became the ruling party's ** candidate, but ultimately lost to Yoon Suk-yeol by a narrow margin.
The leader of South Korea's largest opposition party was attacked twice
Lee Jae-myung's predecessor was hit on the head with a hammer
This is not the first time that the head of a South Korean opposition party has been assassinated. On March 7, 2022, Song Yong-gil, the former leader of the Democratic Party of Korea (then the ruling party) and Lee Jae-myung's predecessor, was hit on the head several times with a hammer while canvassing for ** candidate Lee Jae-myung, but fortunately no fatal parts were injured, and there was no cerebral hemorrhage, and Song Yong-gil was discharged from the hospital after accepting **.
Subsequently, South Korea** arrested him on charges of violating the Public Office Election Act (obstruction of the election campaign) and special injuries. ** It was revealed that the attackers chanted slogans such as "We can't let the younger generation inherit such a society" after attacking Song Yongji.
On the same day, Moon Jae-in, then South Korea's **, commented on the matter, saying that election violence is also a terrorist attack, and that similar incidents should never happen, and hatred and violence cannot change the world.
