Seo Jeong-hyeop, former First Deputy Mayor of Seoul, was recruited last month as an advisor to the law firm Jipyung.
After graduating from Ulsan Hakseong High School and Seoul National University with a degree in International Economics, Seo passed the 35th Administrative Examination and served in various roles at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, including Media Officer, Policy Planning Officer, Chief Secretary, and Head of the Culture Headquarters.

Additionally, Seo currently serves as an adjunct professor at Sungkyunkwan University, where he also lectures.
