Minister Lee served as a proportional representative for the People Power Party for two years starting in 2020 and was appointed as the first Minister of SMEs and Startups under the Yoon Suk-yeol administration in May last year. Some speculate that Lee, a politician with a business background who has gained administrative experience, may challenge a constituency seat in next year's general election.
