Does Moon Jae-In have clear blueprint for running the country?
Lets figure out by looking at his past, present and future
Moon Jae-Ins past
M oon Jae-In was born in Geoje, South
Korea. He was the first son among five
children of father Moon Yong-Hyung and
mother Kang Han-Ok. His father was originally
from South Hamgyeong Province which is
placed in North Korea territory. He came to
South Korea during the Hamhung Retreat. His
family eventually settled in Busan. Moon Jae-
In studied in Kyunghee University as a law
student. However, he was expelled from the
university after he was arrested, convicted,
and imprisoned due to illegal student protest
against the government. When he was in
prison, he got a letter that he passed the
Bar Exam and was admitted to the Judicial
Research and Training Institute. He graduated
second among the whole student, but he
could not be a judge due to his history of
imprisonment. Unwillingly, Moon Jae-In
decided to become a lawyer instead.
After becoming a lawyer, he partnered and
worked with Roh Moo-Hyun. They maintained

a friendship until Rohs suicide in 2009. They
settled in Busan and took cases involving human LEFT
rights and civil rights issues. Moon Jae-In was a
