Timeline

1949

Moon Kook-hyun (, born 12 January 1949) is the leader of the Creative Korea Party, who served as a well-known business manager and civil environmental campaigner in South Korea before entering his political career.

1972

Born in Seoul, Moon studied English language at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, graduating with a BA in 1972, then took a postgraduate course in Business Administration at the Seoul National University.

Moon began his career at Yuhan-Kimberly(μœ ν•œν‚΄λ²Œλ¦¬), a company manufacturing paper and woven fibre products.

1983

In 1983, he spent a year in the United States, taking some new management concepts.

On his return, he developed the concept of "environmental management", focusing on digital printing technologies and the use of recycled paper.

1995

In 1995, Moon became Chief Executive Officer of Yuhan-Kimberly.

1996

In 1996, Moon was appointed committee director of the U.N. Environment (UNEP) Korea Development Organization.

1997

Faced with a financial crisis in 1997, he developed a new shift system where workers worked twelve-hours shifts for four days running, then took four days off.

2007

In August 2007, Moon resigned from Yuhan-Kimberly to run in the 2007 South Korean presidential election.

In October, he formed the Creative Korea Party, with an anti-corruption, pro-environmentalist program, gaining a bit of support from liberal voters who supported the Participatory Government, conservative voters who wanted to change the government and liked a similar 'business leader' portfolio but disliked Lee Myung-bak, and from the labor movement.

In the election, Moon won 5.8% of the votes for fourth place.

Moon is a Roman Catholic.

2008

On April 9, 2008, Moon beat the close confidante of Lee Myung-bak (president) Lee Jae-oh (GNP, Incumbent), by more than 11%.

Although the harsh loss of South Korean liberal candidates especially in Seoul at this 2008 election, his campaign against 'the Grand Korean Canal' project boosted his popularity in his electoral division and across the nation.

2009

However, he lost his seat after a year (2009.10.22) due to his party members gaining profit illegally by confidential information.

The court sentenced him 8 months.

2010

In the 2010 re-election for his empty seat, Lee Jae-oh easily regained his seat by 58.33%.
