Chun was born in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province. He was appointed as a teacher in 2002, worked in Seoul for one year, and moved to Ulsan, where his family is located the following year, and worked as a teacher for 19 years. President-elect Cheon said, “This election is a stern order from the citizens that changes and innovations in Ulsan education must continue.” We will make it a standard,” he said. Roh, former superintendent of education who passed away in December of last year, is said to have blown the wind of change and innovation into local education by implementing policies to strengthen the public nature of education, such as expanding free school lunches from kindergarten to high school under the philosophy of ‘not giving up even one child’. rated He was elected during the 2018 local election and succeeded in re-election in 2022.
