Hong-cheol Yeom : Mayor of Daejeon city

Hong-cheol Yeom is a politician. He defines himself as a minority. He's from very small city Nonsa and since he came to Daejeon for studying, he's been a minority locally and he was lonely when working as a profesor and a government officer because his background is not as good as his colleagues'. So he reminded himself to work harder and harder to survive, and this made him of today. People nicknamed him as 'a Expo Mayor' after he hosted Daejeon Expo successfully in short time. He's also famous as an early adopter among government officers and he is always opened to communicate with his citizens through twitter and facebook.
