"President Lee Jae-myung" - A Journey of Suffering, Solidarity, and a New Democracy

New Journalist Today Releases Groundbreaking E-Book, Free for One Month to Celebrate Korea's 21st Presidential Inauguration

June 15, 2025 - SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - At a time when Korea's democratic breath was choked by authoritarian regression, one figure stood unyielding. President Lee Jae-myung: New Leader of South Korea, a powerful new e-book by educator and journalist Byung Kee Park, offers an unfiltered chronicle of the country's most resilient political figure-crafted not in the shadow of partisanship, but in the fire of lived democratic struggle.

Veteran journalist Jaeho Jung co-authors the opening chapters, tracing Lee's early years.

Park, who once viewed Lee through the distorting lens of media caricature, spent 18 months embedded in the National Assembly. What emerged was not a political endorsement, but an intimate portrait of a leader forged by adversity: a boy who toiled in illegal factory jobs at 13, crippled by industrial labor, who rose to become a self-taught human rights lawyer and a voice for the margins.

A Mirror to Modern Korea

The e-book follows Lee's ascent from the slums of Seongnam to the Blue House, unpacking each chapter of his life-from Mayor to Governor to President-while holding a mirror up to Korean society. Poverty, inequality, labor, and human dignity are not side notes-they are the story.

This is not just Lee's biography. It is Korea's biography.

December 3, 2024 - A Night That Shaped the Republic

One pivotal chapter recounts the night martial law was declared. As tanks encircled Yeouido, it was Lee Jae-myung's calm resolve and citizen-led resistance that defended the National Assembly. Through visceral, real-time narrative, Park captures a night when democracy trembled-but did not fall.

"Lee Jae-myung's wisdom saved the Republic," the book declares.

More Than a Tribute-A Democratic Testament

President Lee Jae-myung is not a campaign artifact. It is a document of democratic resilience. Through Park's personal transformation-from critic to chronicler-the book confronts readers with urgent questions: What is the role of politics? Where does sovereignty truly reside?

Written not from a politician's desk, but from the galleries of protest and the trenches of governance, this e-book becomes a people's testimony-of a presidency born not just by election, but by resistance.
