Kim Jung-gil (born May 28, 1945 -) is a South Korean politician who has served as a member of the National Assembly and the Democratic Party's floor leader, supreme council member, and vice president.

personal history
In 1971, when Kim Jung-gil was the president of the student council of Pusan National University, a presidential election was held under the three-term constitution, and at that time, elections to promote local sentiment reached a peak in the Yeongnam region. Regionalism, triggered by the Hawaii remarks of then-Chairman Lee Hyo-sang, reached its peak, with leaflets saying, "Unite Honam people" distributed throughout Yeongnam on the eve of the vote. Kim Jong-gil, who witnessed this, took the lead in eliminating this ruinous regionalism from then on. Since then, his 40 years as a politician have continued his efforts to abolish regional sentiment and achieve East-West harmony.

Kim Jong-gil was elected in the 12th and 13th general elections of the National Assembly and served as deputy floor leader of the United Democratic Party and floor leader of the United Democratic Party.

However, after the merger, he refused to join the three parties as a politician and ran for the National Assembly in Busan to break regionalism, but continued to suffer defeat with former President Roh Moo Hyun. (Saha-gu by-election, 14th general election, 15th general election, 16th general election, 17th general election, Busan mayor election, and 19th general election failed seven times in a row)) In the process, he served as the first floor leader, vice president, and supreme council member of the Democratic Party and showed his capabilities as the next leader of the Democratic Party.

He served as vice president of the National Congress for New Politics and played a role in regime change, and later served as the first minister of the government of the people and senior presidential secretary for political affairs. In the meantime, he failed again in Busan (2000, the 16th general election). He led the reform of the public service society when he was the Minister of Government Administration and Home Affairs, and was the first minister to attempt "direct communication with the people" by opening an Internet-based "chat room with the minister."

Roh Moo Hyun, his best friend and comrade, was elected president, but Kim Jong-gil once again chose to run in Yeongdo-gu, Busan, rather than taking over the appointed office. In the 17th general election, Kim Jong-gil led the polls in the wake of the impeachment backlash, but failed due to the scandal over Chairman Chung Dong-young's disparaging remarks on the elderly. He later resigned from public office and was also a visiting professor at Kyung Hee University's Graduate School of Public Administration, Michigan State University, and U.C. San Diego School of International Relations. Since then, he has been elected president of the Korean Sports Council and chairman of the Korean Olympic Committee and served as an international cultural and sports administrator representing Korea.

In June 2010, he defeated Kim Min-seok, a preliminary candidate, and was elected as the Democratic Party's candidate for Busan Metropolitan City Mayor. The unification of the opposition camp was agreed and Kim Seok-joon of the New Progressive Party and Min Byung-ryul of the Democratic Labor Party were elected as unified opposition candidates after the primary. In the 6.2 local elections, he won 44.57 percent of the vote, but lost.

In June 2011, 20,000 supporters gathered at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Gwangju, and declared their de facto presidential bid to pave the way for a re-establishment of the regime. In the 19th general election in 2012, he gave up running for leadership in his constituency, which has a high chance of winning, while actively participating in the Hope Bus and abolishing the Korea-U.S. FTA.

In the district, Min Byung-ryul of the Unified Progressive Party became a single candidate for the opposition Democratic United Party-Unified Progressive Party. Kim Jong-gil ran for the Busanjin-gu Eul constituency, the center of Busan, winning 40.5 percent of the votes and experiencing another painful seventh election.

On July 22, 2012, an hour before the registration of the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, Kim Jung-gil, under the slogan "Tangtangpyeong Human Rights State" in Gangjeong Village, Jeju, where opposition to the naval base is underway, in front of residents of Gangjeong Village and activists opposed to the Gangjeong Naval Base, they held a presidential candidate declaration ceremony promising to "abolish the Korea-U.S. FTA, abolish the Gangjeong Naval Base, and abolish non-regular workers.

On June 5, 2013, he announced his retirement from politics and is currently a guest researcher at Peking University's Northeast Asian Research Institute.
