Career

Before entering politics in 2012, Lee was a nurse and trade unionist. From 2010 to 2014, Lee was the deputy head of Seoul's division of Federation of Korean Trade Unions and head of its women's committee. From 2011 to 2017 she led the trade union of the most famous hospital brand in Korea, Yonsei Severance Hospitals.[1]

From 2012 she has taken numerous roles in her party and its succeeding parties such as its deputy spokesperson, deputy chair of its women's committee and senior deputy chair of its labor committee. In 2018 she became the member of its Supreme Council.[2]

In the 2016 general election, she was placed as the number 21 on her party's proportional representation list. In the 2020 general election, she was placed as its number 3.[3] However, following her party's decision to create proportional representation-only sister party, Platform Party, she was re-placed as the number 13.[4]
