Lee In-je (Napoleon's World)

Lee In-je (born 11 December 1948) is a Korean politician who served as Governor of Chungcheong province from 1992 to 1995 and is most famous for his multiple unsuccessful runs to be President of Korea representing a variety of political parties, including his loss to Kim Dae-Jung in 1995 running for the New Korea Party, to his loss in 2002 to Roh Moo-hyun in the primary for Kim's Democratic Party which he had joined as one of Kim's Cabinet ministers, to his unsuccessful run once again for the Liberal Party in 2007 (losing in the primary this time to eventual winner Lee Myung-bak), and finally running one last time in 2012 for the People's Party founded by Ahn Cheol-soo and Sohn Hak-kyu. Lee In-je in 2017 toyed with running for the ULDP to succeed Ban Ki-moon, in whose Cabinet he served, but decided against it and ran instead for National Assembly in his home province of Chungcheong. He is known in Korea as "the Phoenix" for his constant political rebirth.
