Life

Yun Bo-seon was born in Dunpo, Asan County, Chungcheongnam-do, in 1897. He was a son of Yun Chi-So(윤치소, 1871–1944) and Lady Lee Bum-Sook(이범숙, 1876–1969). Yun graduated with an M.A. from the University of Edinburgh in 1930. He returned home in 1932. Then, he entered politics in 1945 after liberation, having Syngman Rhee as his mentor, the first Doctor of Philosophy from Princeton University, in Korea, whom he could learn moral ethics from. 1947 Yun was South Korea's Secretary of Chief of Staff.

In 1948, Yun was appointed by Rhee as mayor of Seoul. A year later, he was appointed as the Minister of Commerce and Industry. Soon, he started to disagree with Rhee's authoritarian policies.

After Rhee's government was ousted by a student-led pro-democracy uprising, Yun was elected president on August 13, 1960.

He opposed Park's authoritarian rule and ran for president twice in 1963 and 1967, losing each time.
