Yang Sung-woo (November 1, 1943 - ) is a South Korean poet, former educator, and former politician.

Life
He was born in Hampyeong, South Jeolla Province. The domicile is Namwon.

In 1975, Yang Sung-woo was working as a teacher at Gwangju Central Girls' High School, and he was dismissed from his teaching post by reading "Winter Republic," which criticized Park Chung-hee's military dictatorship. In June 1977, a so-called slave notebook writing incident broke out by writing a resistance poem called "Slave Notebook" in the Japanese magazine "Sekai." As a result, he spent time in prison until he was released on parole in 1979 due to poor health.

In 1988, he ran for election in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, as a candidate for the Peace Democratic Party (later the New Democratic Union Party), and served as a member of the National Assembly until 1992. However, in the 14th National Assembly election, he ran in the same constituency as a Democratic Party candidate, but was defeated by Park Beom-jin of the Democratic Liberal Party.

In November 1997, he joined the Grand National Party to support candidate Lee Hoi-chang in the 15th presidential election, and also supported candidate Lee Hoi-chang of the Grand National Party in the 16th presidential election in 2002. In the 17th presidential election in 2007, he participated in the Grand National Party's Lee Myung Bak candidate camp to help him win the election. On August 11, 2009, he was elected as the 5th chairman of the Korean Publication Ethics Committee.
