Jeon Yeo-ok (Korean: 전여옥; born April 9, 1959) is a conservative female South Korean politician who came from a journalist background. Of a pro-Lee Myung-bak background, she was known for expressing discontent against Park Geun-hye who regained control of the Saenuri Party (formally the Grand National Party). She was not nominated during the party nomination process for the 2012 legislative election as one of the close supporters of Lee Myung-bak.[1] Until then, she was considered as the main rival of Park Geun-hye.[2]
Jeon was accused of academic elitism, as she opposed the nomination of the former president Roh Moo-hyun because he did not graduate from a higher level institution.[3]
