Lee Jeong-mi (Korean: 이정미; born 7 February 1966 in Busan) is a South Korean politician. She was the leader of the Justice Party since from 28 October 2022 to 6 November 2023.[1] and previously served as leader from 2017 to 2019 following the previous leadership tenures of Sim Sang-jung.[2][3] She served as a member of the 20th National Assembly from 2016 to 2020.
In early December 2023, Lee announced on her personal Facebook page that a tumor was found in her right kidney during a health checkup, and surgery was completed in January 2024. She said that it was stage 1 kidney cancer, and since it was discovered early, it had not metastasized to other organs, so the surgery was not that difficult and that she would focus on recovering.[4] Lee did not run in the 2024 parliamentary election.
