Pre-Minister career

After passing the state exam in 1974, he began his career as a public servant at one of regional offices of National Tax Service.[3] Apart from working for Deputy Prime Minister Rha Woong-bae as his chief of staff for five months in 1996, he continued working on tax. He was part of a small task-force to prepare "real-name financial system" and one of nine people apart from then-President Kim Young-sam who knew about this before it was announced by the president.[5]

Under President Kim Dae-jung, he led the Tax and Customs Office of the Ministry of Finance and Economy from 1991 and oversaw the implementation of newly-created "real-name real estate system."[6] From 2001 he led the Ministry as its Vice-Minister. From January 2002, he worked on building country-wide High-speed Internet[7] as Senior Presidential Secretary for Policy Planning (Korean: 대통령정책기획수석) and later appointed as Minister for Government Policy Coordination.[3]

In 2002 then-President-elect Roh Moo-hyun appointed him as vice chair of his transition team[3] praising him as "the most capable public servant I have ever met."[8]

Member of State Council and National Assembly

Kim later became Roh's first Minister of Finance and Economy and ex officio Deputy Prime Minister in 2003. In 2004 he resigned for the 2004 general election upon Roh's recommendation.[9] In 2005 he was brought back to Roh's cabinet as his Minister of Education and Human Resources Development and ex officio Deputy Prime Minister.[10]

In 2007 he became the chair of Policy Planning Committee of his party, Uri Party, and its succeeding party, United New Democratic Party. From 2008 to 2010 he served as a member of his party's Supreme Council.

In 2010 he ran for his party's candidate for Gyeonggi Provincial Governor but dropped out after endorsing Rhyu Si-min from other liberal party.[3]

In 2011 he was elected as the floor leader of this party which he continued to serve in succeeding party till 2012.

In the 2014 election, he resigned from the post of three-term parliamentarian to run as his party's candidate for Gyeonggi Governor but lost to Nam Kyung-pil from opposition party.

In 2015 he became a member of advisory committee to then-party leader Moon Jae-in. He organised the "policy exposition" of his party - the first of its kind in South Korean history.[11]

In 2017 Kim joined Moon Jae-in's second presidential campaign in 2017 as the chair of its jobs committee.[3]

Upon the beginning of Moon Jae-in's presidency, Kim was appointed as the chair of State Affairs Planning Advisory Committee (Korean: 국정기획자문위원회), Moon's de facto transition team, as Moon began his presidency without having one. The Committee produced detailed blueprint of Moon's 5-year administration with 100 policy tasks based on Moon's campaign promises.[12][13]

Early life and Education

Kim was born in Yeonbaek County, now North Korean territory.[14] During Third Battle of Seoul he and his father moved south and settled in now-Suwon.[9] He was admitted to Kyungbock High School as top of his class.

He holds two degrees - LLB from Seoul National University where he completed his postgraduate programme on public policy and Master of Public Affairs from University of Wisconsin–Madison.[15][16]
