Kim Boo-kyum (

Grand National Party (GNP) and then, from 2003,[1] the liberal Uri Party and its successors. In the 2016 parliamentary election in Daegu, Kim defeated his Saenuri opponent Kim Moon-soo in a 62.5 per cent landslide, marking the first time a member of a liberal party had been elected in that city since 1985.[2] Kim had earlier stood for mayor of Daegu in the 2014 local elections, and received 40 per cent of the vote, a number seen at the time as unusually large in the conservative stronghold. He stated in 2014 that he hoped to "overcome the barrier of regionalism".[3]

Early life and education

Kim Boo-kyum was born on 21 January 1958 in Sangju, North Gyeongsang.[4] He is the eldest of the one son and three daughters of Kim Young-ryong and Cha Sook-hui.[4] His father, Kim Young-ryong, was just 19 years old when Kim Boo-kyum was born.[5]

Kim was admitted to study political science at

Yushin Constitution in 1977, before being readmitted and expelled again for violating martial law in 1980. He was later reinstated a second time, and received his degree in 1987.[7]

Political career

Early political career

Kim joined politics as one of the founders of the

Shinan,[12] who immediately joined the Peace Democratic Party (PDP) due to the pre-agreement.[13] The HDP was later de-registered.[14]

Following the de-registration of the HDP, Kim joined the Democratic Party that was established by Kim Dae-jung in 1991. He had an intention to run in the 1992 election, but could not become a candidate.[11] He served as the Deputy Spokesperson of the party, however, was arrested on 18 November after it was revealed that Kim received 5,000,000 won (£3,240) from a North Korean spy named Lee Seon-shil during the 1988 election.[9][10] According to Park Jie-won, the then Senior Deputy Spokesperson, Kim borrowed the money from Lee through his mother-in-law, but paid it back after the election.[9] He also indicated that Kim was not related to his party in 1988; he was also told that Kim did not even know that Lee was a spy.[9][10]

Prime Minister (2021-2022)

Nomination

Since prime minister Chung Sye-kyun had the intention to run for the 2022 presidential election, he planned to resign at an unknown date.[15] Several newspapers reported that he would step down after the by-elections on 7 April 2021.[16][17] Despite the knowledge that President Moon Jae-in was reported to prefer a female prime minister, Kim was considered one of the potential candidates for the position.[16][17]

On 15 April, Chung officially submitted his resignation to Moon Jae-in,[18] and it was accepted the next day.[19] The same day, Kim was nominated the new Prime Minister, succeeding Chung.[20] As he was categorised as a "minority" of the Democratic Party, his nomination was regarded as a step to renovate the party that faced a serious defeat in the 2021 by-elections.[21]

On 13 May, 168 out of 176 MPs voted in favour of the appointment of Kim as the Prime Minister.

Central Government Complex in Seoul.[24][25]

Political positions

Kim is considered a

deselection.[29] Commentators named Kim as a potential candidate in the 2017 presidential elections,[3][30]
although he ultimately did not run.

Personal life

Kim's daughter, Yoon Se-in (born Kim Ji-su), is a television actress.[31] Yoon campaigned for Kim in the 2012 parliamentary election[32] and the 2014 mayoral race,[33] but was unable to in 2016.[34]
