Born in Andong, Lee studied law at Chung-Ang University, and went on to work in that field before his entry into politics.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3][4][5] While Mayor, Lee ran for President in the 2017 presidential election.[6] Considered one of the three most important potential candidates in the run-up to the election,[7] 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.[8][9]

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.[10] Following his election, he faced legal issues stemming from alleged violation of campaign rules that put his governorship into question.[11] 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.[12]

Prosecution's investigation

On December 11, 2018, the prosecution indicted Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, who is suspected of circulating false information under the Public Official Election Act of the Republic of Korea, and his wife Kim Hye-kyung was not indicted, citing a lack of evidence. Two days before the expiration of the statute of limitations on the seventh election, the couple closed the case.

Prosecutors said they strongly suspect that Kim Hye-kyung is the owner or user of the Twitter account, but judged that it is more likely that several people shared the account. Several people shared Khk631,000 Gmail registered in Hyegyeonggung Kim's Twitter account, accessed Twitter accounts through various devices, and personal information that did not match Kim Hye-kyung was found.

The real name of the corresponding Twitter (08_hkkim) is "For Justice." Rep. Jeon Hae-chul of the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea sued the account, claiming it was run by Lee Jae-myung's wife. The initials are the same as Kim Hye-kyung, and various personal information are identical, raising suspicions that she is the same person. Hyegyeonggung Kim is also nicknamed for this reason.[13]
