[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] Kang Min-seok, spokesperson for the Blue House, announced on the 13th, "President Moon Jae-in had a congratulatory phone call with Kim Jong-cheol, the newly appointed leader of the Justice Party, from 5:00 PM to 5:05 PM today."

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-cheol was elected as the next leader of the Justice Party by defeating incumbent lawmaker Bae Jin-gyo in the runoff vote. Born in 1970, Kim Jong-cheol is younger than former leader Shim Sang-jung but has a progressive political career that rivals anyone.

Since 1999, when he first entered politics as the secretary to Kwon Young-gil, a symbolic figure of progressive politics and leader of the Democratic Labor Party, he has experienced over 20 years of progressive political history. He built his public relations capabilities by serving as deputy spokesperson and other roles during the time when the Democratic Labor Party was an extra-parliamentary party, and has been verified in publicity and political affairs through multiple terms as spokesperson.
