Moon Jae-in (Korean문재인, pronounced [mun.dʑɛ.in]; born 24 January 1953) is a South Korean politician who served as the president of South Korea from 2017 to 2022. Before his presidency, he served as Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs and Chief of Staff to President Roh Moo-hyun,[3] Member of the National Assembly, and Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea.

Born to North Korean refugees, Moon was raised in poverty in Busan.[4] He excelled in school and studied law at Kyung Hee University. He became a lawyer and was involved in human rights activism with Roh Moo-hyun. He was imprisoned for organizing a protest against the Yushin Constitution. As a result of his work in human rights law, Moon was chosen to be Roh's campaign manager in the 2002 presidential election.[5] He served in Roh's administration in various official capacities. In 2012, Moon was a candidate for the Democratic United Party in the 2012 presidential election, which he lost to Park Geun-hye, in which Park was aided by the National Intelligence Service (NIS).[6]

In the 2017 presidential election, Moon was elected president as the Democratic Party of Korea candidate after Park Geun-hye was impeached and removed from office.[7][8] As president, Moon received international attention for his meetings with North Korean Chairman Kim Jong Un at inter-Korean summits in April, May, and September 2018, making him the third South Korean president to meet their North Korean counterpart. On June 30, 2019, he met with both Kim and US president Donald Trump at the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Moon favors the Sunshine Policy, a peaceful Korean reunification.[9] On economic policy, he favors reform of chaebols (conglomerates),[10] raised the minimum wage by more than 16%,[11] and lowered the maximum workweek from 68 to 52 hours.[12] During the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea, Moon received praise domestically and internationally.[13] His party won a historic victory in the 2020 South Korean legislative election.[14] He left office in May 2022, succeeded by his former prosecutor general, Yoon Suk Yeol.
