Early life and education[edit]

Yu In-chon was born in the city of Wanju County, North Jeolla Province, South Korea in 1951.[3] He graduated with the bachelor degree in theater and film from Chung-Ang University.[6]

Acting career[edit]

Although Yu started his career as a TV actor, his fondness of play led him to found Yu Theater in the Gangnam area of Seoul, April 1999.[7]

Political career[edit]

In 2004, he became the representative of the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture under the Seoul Metropolitan Government, which leads the city's cultural policy, thanks to his friendship with then-Mayor Lee Myung-bak.[8]

When the Live Music Camp incident occurred in 2005, at the time mayor of Seoul, Lee Myung-bak suggested that Hongdae concerts be regulated by authorities.[9] At this time, Yu In-chon had a good understanding of the college culture, so he took Lee Myung-bak to the club 'Drug' and said, 'Oh! Brothers' rock performance together and defended the club culture, thanks to this, Lee Myung-bak, who was about to wipe out the clubs, changed his mind, and he dismissed it as saying he would not do it himself.[10]

He became Minister of Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in the Lee Myung-bak administration in 2008.[11]

On July 21, 2011, President Lee nominated Yu In-chon as the Special Presidential Adviser on Culture and Sports.[12]
