Lee Nak-yon (Korean: 이낙연; Hanja: 李洛淵; born 20 December 1951),[1][2][3] also known as Lee Nak-yeon, is a South Korean politician who served as the 41st Prime Minister of South Korea from 2017 to 2020.[4][5] A member of the New Reform Party, he is the longest-serving prime minister since the Constitution of South Korea was last revised in 1987.[6] Lee previously held the governorship of South Jeolla Province province from 2014 to 2017, a stronghold of his party.[4] Before serving as governor, he worked as a journalist for over 20 years and served as a member of the National Assembly for four terms.
Lee was chosen for the position of Prime Minister by President Moon Jae-in to keep his campaign promise to appoint his de facto deputy from Honam region.[7] During his tenure as Prime Minister, Lee became well known for his forceful exchanges with opposition party leaders and adeptness at communicating with citizens.[8] Prior to and following his victory in the crucial Jongno district in the 2020 legislative election against conservative Hwang Kyo-ahn, another probable presidential candidate, he was once considered a likely nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2022 South Korean presidential election.[9][10] He lost the primary to Lee Jae-myung in October 2021.[11]
