My Take

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.

Overview

Yoo Seong-min (Korean: 유승민; born 7 January 1958), also known as Yoo Seung-min, is a South Korean economist and politician. Yoo is a former member of the National Assembly and was the Bareun Party's presidential nominee in the 2017 South Korean presidential election. He is the son of late Daegu court chief, attorney and Member of Parliament, Yoo Soo-ho for Junggu of Daegu.
