Into the book
But then again, I've never even studied before, so what if I'm worried like this? There's no way my family will send me to college, and I have to earn my way there. What am I going to do now?
First of all, when I think about my future, it's impossible to work as a civil servant my entire life, and it's also difficult to go to college.
Okay! So, Jae-myung, decide what to do.
No, maybe being difficult means being possible.
Should we try it now?
August 20, 1980
It's so complicated and I can't even think about writing down all the things I haven't written in my diary for a year.
I spent a year sitting in the study room, sleeping, and studying for less than 4 hours a day, and I got a score I was not ashamed of.
Now, it seems that all that remains is a truly fulfilling and fulfilling college life.
- January 31, 1982
The mountain was covered by clouds so I couldn't see it properly in front of me. When I thought about it, I thought, 'If the mountain had not been covered by clouds but had been completely exposed, revealing all its deep valleys, would I have been able to come down the long mountain pass so far?' Life is a sea of suffering where one hardship is overcome and another comes up, but humans don't know that such new hardships are coming because of the clouds, and they live in hope as if the window of happiness is wide open after such hardships pass.
- June 30, 1982
Now, I'm starting a new life with a whopping 100,000 won, which I bought with my own money from home, after receiving a scholarship exemption(?) and deciding to study again.
It is a time that I must cherish and study every second, considering the expectations and hardships of all my family members, including my older brother.
I absolutely must pass the exam next year.
This year, it must not be a vague idea, but a resolution secured by a solid plan armed with necessity and will, and by sincere execution.
There is not much time left now.
- October 18, 1985
This body is in my heart, and its origin is in my parents. From the time I was born into this world until now, there has been nothing that has not been touched by my father's grace. However, I have not realized this until now and have been under the illusion that I was born and raised alone.
And as a result, not only was I unable to be filial to my father, but I also caused him a lot of worry, so as his son, I am speechless.
No matter what happens, my father is the one who has the right and duty to live.
And the Han that remains in this world will never send my father to another world.
If the will is strong, even those who are dying will live, and if the will is weak, even those who are living will die.
My father is someone who can never leave now.
- March 31, 1986
In particular, when I see the blatant contemptuous attitudes of some people, I feel not only disgust but also self-reproach. However, I also feel fortunate in that seeing the behavior of such people allows me to reflect on my own thoughts and actions.
I often think that I should become a more humane person rather than someone with a high social status.
You must become a human being, not a celebrity or a person of power.
I must never be conscious of what others think about my shameful behavior, and even more so, I must not feel restricted in my actions because of it.

Publisher's Review
Lee Jae-myung, the hottest politician and presidential candidate of our time!
A look back at the 10 years that made Lee Jae-myung who he is today.
A storytelling book based on the childhood diary of Lee Jae-myung, the current governor of Gyeonggi Province and a presidential candidate in his 20s, has been published.
The 10-year diary he kept from the time he was a sixteen-year-old boy until he attended the Judicial Research and Training Institute is an important record that explains the current Lee Jae-myung.
What is the foundation that made Lee Jae-myung, arguably the most unique and distinctive politician in South Korea?
The fact that Lee Jae-myung is a former juvenile offender is already widely known through various channels.
He moved from a remote village in Andong to Seongnam with his father the year he graduated from elementary school, and had to go straight to work in a factory.
And because he was only fourteen years old, he had to borrow someone else's name.
After working at several factories, he suffered an industrial accident at a factory making baseball gloves, which resulted in his left arm being broken.
He wanted to quit his boring, seemingly hopeless factory job and go study.
Fortunately, I had confidence in my head.
“I also have a little bit of faith in my own brain.
That's why the value that if you want to go to college, you have to go to a good college has taken root in a corner of my heart.
But this may be a vain dream.
“I have to make this dream come true somehow, but do I have the ability to do so?”
Lee Jae-myung passed the high school qualification exam and entered the law department of Chung-Ang University, which provided a scholarship.
During his college years, he focused on studying with the sole goal of passing the bar exam, but around his senior year, he opened his eyes to the unreasonable reality of society and participated in protests.
“Yesterday, I skipped my international law class and went to the march for you.
The spicy gas and the tear gas fragments were a bit scary, and it was also awkward for a fourth-year student to participate, but I didn't hesitate at all because it was for you."
Lee Jae-myung, who passed the bar exam in 1986, revealed in an interview with the Gyeongin Ilbo that he plans to open a law firm in Seongnam and help those who have been wronged.
Having experienced numerous social injustices during his time as a juvenile delinquent, he set a goal to become a human rights lawyer with specialized knowledge and help the vulnerable.
Although my grades at the training center were not bad and my family's financial problems were a concern, I did not give up my beliefs.
He made up his mind despite the contempt he received from the majority of trainees who only wanted to be appointed to the current position.
“I often think that I should become a more humane person rather than someone with a high social status.
You must become a human being, not a celebrity or a person of power.
“I must never be conscious of what others think about my shameful behavior, and even more so, I must not feel restricted in my actions because of it.”
After some time, Lee Jae-myung, true to his beliefs, worked as a human rights lawyer in Seongnam and also took on the role of a civic activist fighting against corruption.
In 2010, he was elected as the mayor of Seongnam, and he fulfilled his pledge to revitalize Seongnam, his second hometown, by raising various social and political issues.
As mayor of Seongnam, he implemented various pro-people policies, including the establishment of a municipal medical center, disclosure of public construction costs, youth dividends, free school uniforms, and postpartum care. He was elected governor of Gyeonggi Province in 2018 and ran as a candidate for the 20th presidential election in 2021.
From boy bandit to governor and presidential candidate,
The source of Lee Jae-myung's beliefs came from his diary!
"Lee Jae-myung's My Boyhood Diary" was serialized in Daum's "Brunch" Weekly Magazine from February 1, 2018 to May 24, with a total of 17 episodes.
At the time of serialization, it created a huge buzz with cumulative views exceeding 1 million.
There was a lot of interest and anticipation surrounding Lee Jae-myung, who was elected as the governor of Gyeonggi Province after going from being a strong presidential candidate to a local government head.
Now, with such expectations, Lee Jae-myung is once again running for president in his 20s.
This book contains three additional stories ('I Have a Girl I Like', 'My Boyfriends', and 'What I Like') that were not serialized in Daum Brunch.
This story gently depicts the unrequited love that Lee Jae-myung cherished as a sensitive boy, his pure friendship with his factory friends, and the reason he likes watches and fishing rods.
Lee Jae-myung's diary clearly reveals the social injustice and poverty he endured as a young boy without a name, the difficult life he endured while preparing for the bar exam, and his conviction that he dreamed of becoming a human rights lawyer while enduring the contempt of his fellow trainees.
As you read about the experiences and beliefs that shaped Lee Jae-myung's childhood, you'll understand why he's a politician who continues to be talked about in this day and age.
Above all, the strength of this book is that it contains many original quotes from Lee Jae-myung's diary written over the past 10 years.
Almost all the elements that made Lee Jae-myung the governor of Gyeonggi Province are conveyed through his diary, including the factory life and poverty he experienced as a young worker, memories of his hometown, first love, the sincerity and reconciliation with his father despite his discomfort, affection for his family, the romance and worries of his college days, and the determination he made while attending a training center.
