Oh Shin-hwan (Korean: 오신환, born 7 February 1971) is a South Korean former actor and conservative politician. Starting his career as an obscure actor in 1990s, he was elected as a Member of National Assembly for Gwanak 2nd constituency at the 2015 by-election, making him as the first conservative MP of the liberal-leaning constituency since its creation in 1988.[1]

Early life and education

Oh was born in Sillim-dong, Yeongdeungpo District (now in Gwanak District) in Seoul in 1971. He is the youngest son of Lee Sung-im and Oh Yoo-geun, the former Deputy Speaker of the Seoul Metropolitan Council.[2][3]

He attended to Danggok Primary School[2] and Danggok Secondary School, then graduated from Danggok High School[3] in 1989.[4] Following the graduation, he studied civil engineering at Konkuk University[2][1] but dropped out.[4] He was then admitted to Korea National University of Arts (K-ARTS) and earned a bachelor's degree in theatre,[2][1] as well as a master's degree in public policy from Korea University and a doctorate in urban sociology from University of Seoul.[5] He graduated from K-ARTS in 1998 along with several notable actors, such as Jang Dong-gun and Lee Sun-kyun.[2][1][3]

Acting career

Oh had been acting in some university plays since 1989, while he was studying at Konkuk University.[2] He joined Yeonwoo Stage in 1991, then subsequently appeared to Ride Together (동승),[2] which was adapted from a drama of Ham Se-dŏk.[6] After his admission to K-ARTS in 1994, he continued his acting in Marionette Show (꼭두각시 놀음), The Story of Park Ki-hong (박기홍 이야기), Mud (진흙) and so on.[2] During this period, he worked with Song Kang-ho;[1] a source reported that both used to share a house.[2] Other than plays, Oh played supporting roles in independent films, including Yellow Flower (둘 하나 섹스)[7] and A Woman Off Her Uniform (남산에 오르다).[1]

Before admitting to politics, Oh served as the director of Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture.[1][3]

Political career

Oh joined the

DUP-UPP) candidate Lee Sang-kyu.[9] Following the defeat, he worked for Park Geun-hye, the Saenuri's presidential candidate who won in the same year, as well as the party's youth wing.[3]

The election of Lee Sang-kyu was annulled due to the UPP's ban in December 2014,

NPAD) and Chung Dong-young (Independent).[12][13] The result became a sensation, as the constituency was known as liberal-leaning where conservatives did not win since the creation in 1988.[1][14] Nevertheless, some analyses showed that he could lose if non-conservatives put a unity candidate.[2][13]

Oh was re-elected in 2016, where his party faced a shock defeat.[15] He was then appointed as the party's deputy parliamentary leader,[16] but left the party after the political scandal in October.[17] He then joined Bareun Party, the splinter group formed by Saenuri's dissidents. On 22 December 2017, he was elected as the party's parliamentary leader[18] and held the position till the party was merged into Bareunmirae Party in 2018.

Following the long conflicts with Sohn, Oh joined the party's dissident group, Emergency Action for Change and Innovation (later New Conservative Party), led by the party's ex-co-President Yoo Seong-min.[23] However, Yoo stood down as the group leader due to the controversy, made Oh to replace the presidency.[24] All group members were later suspended from the party,[25] as well as Oh, who was also sacked from the parliamentary leader.[26]

In 2023, under mayor Oh Se-hoon, Oh was appointed Seoul’s Deputy Mayor for Political Affairs. He later resigned on 16 May, to prepare for the upcoming National Assembly elections in 2024.[27]

Controversy
