Lee Jae-myung height - How tall is Lee Jae-myung?

Following his loss in the presidential election, Lee ran for Governor of Gyeonggi Province, which encompasses much of the Seoul Capital Area. During the 2018 gubernatorial election, he received scrutiny following the confirmation of a long-rumored affair with actress Kim Boo-sun. Following his election, he faced legal issues stemming from alleged violation of campaign rules that put his governorship into question. Lee has received acclaim for his response to the COVID-19 pandemic as Governor and is considered to be a top candidate in the 2022 South Korean presidential election.

Lee Jae-myung (Korean: 이재명 ; Hanja: 李在明 ; born 22 December 1964) is a South Korean politician and attorney who has served as Governor of Gyeonggi Province since 2018. Prior this, he served as Mayor of Seongnam, the tenth largest city in South Korea, from 2010 to 2018, and as an unsuccessful candidate for National Assembly in 2008. He is a member of the liberal Democratic Party.

Born in Andong, Lee studied law at Chung-Ang University, and went on to work in that field before his entry into politics. As Mayor, he achieved recognition for creating Seongnam's social welfare program, widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive social welfare programs in the nation for the city's elderly citizens and youth. Additionally, he is noted for his decision to ban dogmeat from the famous Moran Market, which has been the largest dogmeat market in South Korea since 1960. While Mayor, Lee ran for President in the 2017 presidential election. Considered one of the three most important potential candidates in the run-up to the election, Lee received third place in the Democratic primary behind former party chair and National Assembly member (and eventual winner) Moon Jae-in and Ahn Hee-jung, the Governor of South Chungcheong Province. As a result of his left-wing populist views, he has been compared to American politician Bernie Sanders.
