Lee Jung-do (Korean: 이정도; Hanja: 李正道; born 25 December 1965) is a South Korean bureaucrat served as Secretary to the President for Administrative Affairs[1] under President Moon Jae-in. He is the first bureaucrat to assume this role responsible for the budget of the Blue House.[2]
President Moon appointed Lee im as his secretary for administrative affairs a day after his inauguration. This surprised many as Lee was a bureaucrat not a close confidant to the President. Lee's predecessors had a close relationship with their presidents and enjoyed an exceptional privilege which name them as "King secretary"[3] or " one of Three Doorknobs."[4]
Lee began his career in public service in 1992 when he passed the state exam. From early 2000s, he had spent most of his career at now-Ministry of Economy and Finance. From 2016 he worked at the Budget Office of the Ministry before promoted to one of secretaries to the President.[5]
Lee holds a bachelor's degree in administration from Changwon National University.[6]
