[Book Review] Seoul Mayor, 12 Stars

[Asia Economy Reporter Sim Nayoung] In 1986, a 19-year-old country boy from Daegu moved to Seoul and, based on his observations and experiences over 34 years, wrote about how to live well in Seoul. Jeong Donghee, the author of 'Seoul Mayor, 12 Stars,' published on the 26th, is a preliminary candidate for the Seoul mayor from the Minsheng Party.

His calm stories about Seoul initially read like essays but strike at the heart of Seoul's joys and sorrows. The book emphasizes that the future development of Seoul should be led by the private sector rather than the government. Jeong graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in psychology, worked as an analyst, and now runs a small and medium-sized enterprise.
