Chung Mong-joon or Chung Mong Joon,
(born October 17, 1951) is a South
Korean businessman and politician.
He is honourary vice president of FIFA
and the former president of the South
Korean football association. He is the
sixth son of Chung Ju-yung, founder of
Hyundai, the second-largest South
Korean chaebol before its breakup in
2003. He remains the controlling
shareholder of a Hyundai offshoot,
Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, parent
of the world's largest shipbuilding
company. He is also the chairman of the
board of the University of Ulsan and
Ulsan College in Ulsan, South Korea.
He is the founder and the honorary
chairman of The Asan Institute for
Policy Studies.
[Political career and personal life]
Chung became a politician when he was
elected as an assembly man in 1988 and
served consecutive 7 terms in two
different electoral districts.
Initially he was elected in Dong
District, Ulsan where predominant share
of its population consisted of Hyundai
Heavy Industries Group's employees, its
affiliated companies' employees, and
their families. Most of other
population in Dong District run
businesses related with serving those
workers and their families. Chung
served as an representative of this
particular district for 20 years. He
joined Grand National Party in 2007
shortly before 2007 South Korean
presidential election, declaring his
support to that party's presidential
candidate Lee Myung-bak. As a member of
Grand National Party, he switched his
electoral district to Dongjak District,
Seoul, and represented there as an
assembly man for 2 terms until 2014
when he had to give up that seat to run
for mayor of Seoul, but the election
was lost to Park Won-soon leaving no
political titles for Chung after. Grand
National Party changed its name to
Saenuri Party in 2012. Chung has
currently announced his candidacy for
FIFA president.
In 2002, he ran for the presidency, but
later gave up his candidacy supporting
Millennium Democratic Party's candidate
Roh Moo-hyun. Their coalition was
motivated to prevent Grand National
Party from winning the presidential
election. South Korean regionalism
became much more serious and
antagonistic under President Kim Dae-
jung's term. President Kim is the only
South Korean president coming from
Jeolla province, whereas all the other
South Korean presidents since General
Park Chung-hee's military coup in 1961
have been from Gyeongsang province.
Those of Koreans who despised Jeolla
province supported Grand National
Party, and the party exploited such
sentiments for its political gains of
denouncing President Kim and his
government. Throughout President Kim'
term, Grand National Party was accused
by civil rights groups and media for
instigating anti Jeolla sentiments.
Chung and Roh Moo-hyun objected such
self destroying regionalism in South
Korea, and advocated reconciliation
between Jeolla and Gyeongsang
provinces. Their coalition was intended
to defeat the party which was seen to
exploit regionalism.
Chung participated in Roh's
presidential campaign up to the last
day before the election, Dec 19, 2002.
On Dec 18 afternoon, before the crowd
of his supporters in Myeong-dong,
Seoul, Roh suggested Chung Dong-young
and Choo Mi-ae as viable choices of
candidates for the next presidential
race in 2007. Roh suggested those
Democratic Party's politicians when he
saw some of the crowd having
slogans "Chung Mong-joon for the next
presidential candidate" Roh's
suggestion was not intended to exclude
Chung as a presidential candidate, but
to encourage and to praise his party's
politicians in return to their supports
to his presidential campaign.
Several hours after this, Chung's
spokeswoman officially announced
Chung's withdrawal from supporting Roh.
Roh's presidential camp was stunned by
this, and Roh tried to allay Chung by
visiting his home in person on the very
last night before the presidential
election, but Chung kept his front door
closed and refused to see Roh.
Nevertheless Roh went on to win the
election on the following day for the
victory of all of those Koreans who
wished to see regionalism end in South
Korea.
Chung's joining of Grand National Party
is an irony because his withdrawal from
the presidential race in 2002
supporting Roh Moo-hyun was responsible
for Grand National Party's failure in
winning the presidential election. The
party's candidate Lee Hoi-chang
received absolute support from
conservative or anti Jeolla voters. By
the help of Chung's withdrawal, the
election became bipolar between Roh and
Lee, and Roh turned out to be a winner
receiving exclusive support from reform
minded Korean voters. Grand National
Party had to wait another 5 years to
produce a president from this defeat.
Also his declaration to support Lee
Myung-bak when he joined Grand National
Party is an irony. When Chung's father
Chung Ju-yung ran for the presidency in
1992, Lee Myung-bak supported Kim Young-
sam instead of Chung Ju-yung despite
the fact that Lee made fortune and fame
when he worked at Hyundai. Chung Ju-
yung even bought him a luxurious house
when Lee worked for Chung Ju-yung. So
Chung supported his father's ex
subordinate who in fact hadn't
supported his father in earlier
presidential race.
Chung's brother Chung Mong-hun, then
the president of Hyundai Asan who
pioneered South and North joint Mount
Kumgang tour business, committed
suicide on Aug 4, 2003 when he was
investigated by prosecutors for his
alleged $400 millions cash remit to
North Korea shortly before 2000 North-
South summit. Initially this suspicion
was raised from US when Congressional
Research Service reported such
allegation from CIA source on March 5,
2002. Upon hearing of such report,
Grand National Party made use of this
suspicion to attack the legitimacy of
President Kim Dae-jung's government,
and demanded thorough investigation
through hearings and independent
special prosecutors. Several weeks
before leaving his office, President
Kim gave an apology and advised no
investigation for this matter for fear
of aggravating North and South's
relation, and Chung Mong-hun also
confessed much of the allegations to
public in his final attempt to evade
investigation. But Grand National Party
was resolute in its demand for formal
investigation. Shortly after Roh's
inauguration, Grand National Party
passed the law entitling special
prosecutors to investigate this case,
taking advantage of its majority seats
in National Assembly. Roh's regime
wasn't able to refuse the demand of
investigation, and Chung Mong-hun
committed suicide when he was
investigated about the use of $15
millions worth of Korean won which was
suspected to had been money laundered
after its withdrawal from Hyundai's
bank accounts.
In fact, the money wasn't part of $400
millions cash remittance to North
Korea. North Korea blamed Grand
National Party immediately after Chung
Mong-hun's suicide. So Chung Mong-joon
has joined the party which could be
considered to be responsible for his
brother's death, but Chung blames
President Roh instead. In his
autobiography which was published in
2011, Chung argues that President Roh
didn't refuse Grand National Party's
demand of investigation because he
believes Roh actually wanted to
investigate his brother to revenge on
his withdrawal of supporting Roh in
2002 presidential election.
There is another ironical point behind
Chung's joining of Grand National
Party. The party tried to dig and
disclose Chung's private life
information to defame him in 2002
presidential election These included
his alleged prior diagnosis of mental
disorder in school years, his cheating
incidence during final exam in college
years, questionable identity of his
real mother, discredit of his Johns
Hopkins University doctoral degree, and
etc. Some of these rumors have turned
out to be true. In conclusion Chung
settled at the party which had been at
odds with him before.
Chung was known to be suspended and
repeat courses for cheating final exam
when he was a freshman in Seoul
National University. He was caught by
an exam monitor when he was peeping at
some other classmate's exam over
shoulder during final exam. He was
reported to disciplinary committee and
got such punishment after the
incidence. Chung gave an excuse for
this, saying he cheated final exam
trying to finish it early to go out
with his friends. Chung is the only
known public figure in Korean history
having such record.
Chung's real mother is unknown. When he
ran for the South Korean presidency in
2002, Grand National Party explored on
this point. They pondered various
speculations about the identity of
Chung's real mother. They speculated
that his real mother could be a house
maid, a geisha, or a particular
traditional musician whom Chung Ju-yung
had an affair with. In fact in his
interview with news reporters in 2002,
Chung indicated that his real mother is
someone else, saying he would say truth
someday. It was reported that he was
crying sorrow when he was questioned
about his real mother. Chung explained
about his real mother in his
autobiography in 2011. Chung says that
when he studied in US in 1978, he
received a letter from someone in Korea
who claimed to be his real mother. He
hurried to return to Korea, and met her
at her place, according to his
autobiography. Chung says this was the
first and last for him to see that
woman.
Shortly after he published his
autobiography in 2011, some South
Korean media reported an allegation
that his shipbuilding company bought a
large sum of his autobiography in order
to make it known as a best seller.
The media gathered that information
after interviewing inside personnel,
and found that Hyundai Heavy Industries
Group distributed gift certificates to
thousands of their employees to
purchase Chung's autobiography.
It was reported that they required
employees to return the books along
with receipts to the company after
purchase, and added a special
instruction not to purchase large
volumes at once for fear of getting
suspicions from public.
On top of publishing autobiography,
Chung also donated huge money and set
up a charity foundation in 2011, a year
before 2012 presidential election.
He contributed $200 millions worth of
Korean won from selling approximately
5% of his assets and established Asan
Sharing Foundation which offers
educational opportunities and financial
assistance to young people from low
income families. He said he funded it
to commemorate his late father Chung Ju-
yung, but many couldn't dismiss
reasonable suspicion that his
motivation was to impress public before
presidential election. In fact Chung
didn't deny such suspicion, arguing
that donation is supposed to good
regardless of purpose.
Chung didn't think of Park Geun-hye as
accomplished as himself before 2012
presidential election. When he decided
to compete with Park, he said he was a
better choice as a presidential
candidate because of his educational
background and work experience.
When he pointed out Park's
disadvantage, he argued that expertise
of politics and economy is not
something to be achieved in a short
time. When Park Geun-hye wrote an
article about North Korean issue in
Foreign Affairs, Chung discredited it
claiming someone else had written it
under her name. Therefore it was clear
that he wouldn't miss 2012 presidential
election. In 2012, he ran for the
presidency, but only briefly. He was
the first politician who submitted
application for registration as a
preliminary presidential candidate on
May 1, 2012, but dropped out of the
race in a couple of months.
He wanted rule change for primary
election so that general population
choose party's presidential candidate,
but he wasn't able to make this demand
sound serious to Grand National Party,
since Park Geun-hye's followers
dominated and controlled the party.
He gave up his candidacy and supported
Park after. When he advertised Park at
streets, he was saying to crowd that
Park was prepared, and she was the one
to take good care of economy and
diplomacy.
Chung is losing popular support in
South Korean politics now. When he ran
for assembly man in 2008, he received
54.41% of votes in Dongjak District,
but for the following election in 2012,
he just received 50.80% barely
surviving to lose to the opposition
candidate. When he ran for mayor of
Seoul in 2014, he received 43.03% votes
from Seoul residents losing to then
incumbent mayor of Seoul and previous
civil rights activist Park Won-soon who
received 55% of total votes. It turned
out that Chung's electoral district,
Dongjak voted only 41.80% for Chung
whereas it gave 57.45% for Park's favor.
Chung is a graduate of Seoul National
University, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and Johns Hopkins
University where he earned his Ph.D.
As a sportsman, Chung won a silver
medal in a national competition for
equestrian jumping in 1976, and once
placed fourth in a South Korean cross-
country skiing championship.
