 * BAN KI MOON **

o Current City: Seoul, South Korea o Hometown: Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province of Japanese-occupied Korea o Sex: Male o Birthday: June 13, 1944 o Political Views: Democracy o Religious Views: Non-Denominational Christian o Bio: Hello, I am Ban Ki-moon. I was born on June 13, 1944 in Eumsong, Korea during the Japanese occupation of Korea. This was a very hard time for me to grow up during this time of hardship, because we had to move around due to the wars. I grew up as a part of a middle-class family and we endured many hardships, however I was fortunate enough to get a great education. As a young adult I attended Chungju High school where I met my wonderful wife Yoo Soon-taek, and found my love for government. I even earned a trip to the United States sponsored by the Red Cross and had the opportunity to meet president John F. Kennedy. I then attended Seoul National University, and finished my academic career at Harvard University. After my time at school I started my first government job in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I had many jobs in my many years and I was even fortunate enough to serve the United Nations for a number of years. Today I hold the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations, but my first job for the UN was in 1974 as the First Secretary of the South Permanent Observer Mission. From 1970 to today I have many, many jobs in many different places. I few places that I have held jobs in are New Delhi, Seoul, and Washington D.C. Not only have I held jobs in the UN I have also served my home country of South Korea. In 2004, I replaced Yoon Young Kwan and the foreign minister of Korea. During this time I dealt with the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2005 North Korean nuclear resolutions. Although this seems unfortunate to deal with, it did a great job in preparing me for my current job as Secretary-General, and it allowed me to help others, which I always love doing.
