Yoo Seong-min

An economist who became a presidential nominee is a rarer figure than it sounds, and that combination is what interests me most about Yoo Seong-min. A Seoul National University background and a father who served as both attorney and lawmaker gave him a foundation few politicians can match. I'm not here to judge his platform, but I value the idea of someone who can actually read the numbers sitting near the center of power. His 2017 run for the Bareun Party suggests a willingness to stand somewhat apart from the crowd. I read him as a man who prefers conviction over convenience.
