Kim Boo-kyum Biography

Kim Boo-kyum is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 1, 1956 in Sangju, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. Kim Boo-kyum (Korean: 김부겸 ; Hanja: 金富謙 ; born 1 January 1958) is a South Korean politician who is presently a Minjoo Party member of the National Assembly for Suseong, Daegu and former minister of the Interior and Safety. He was formerly the member for Gunpo between 2000 and 2012, first for the Grand National Party and then, from 2003, 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 percent landslide, marking the first time a member of a liberal party had been elected in that city since 1985. Kim had earlier stood for mayor of Daegu in the 2014 local elections, and received 40 percent 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”.

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