Mayor Augustine, who resigned from the mayor of Busan on the 23rd, lived the same life.

After his 4th challenge, he was elected to the Mayor of Busan, but his journey was not smooth.

After passing the administrative examination, he started his public office as an administrative officer in Busan in 1974, and has since been regarded as an administrative expert and marine expert recognized by the Ministry of the Interior and other post-partnerships in Busan.

After leaving for the first time in Busan, the President's Policy Adviser Office and the Ministry of Home Affairs, the National Movement Support Division, etc., in 1992, I became the head of the Busan Finance Department and continued my public life in Busan.

Except for mayor positions such as the head of the waterworks business division, the head of the Planning and Management Division, the deputy mayor of the government, and the mayor of the executive branch, all positions that can be climbed have been completed.

He received a good reputation from the surroundings by retrieving the handicap for speech impairment through the handling of thick lines and smooth communication with the staff below.

His first step in politics was the June 5th 2004 re-election.

At that time, he ran for the Uri Party as a candidate for the mayor of Busan and failed.

However, the challenge power was not in vain at this time.

As the Roh Moo-hyun administration entered the country, he served as Minister of Oceans and Fisheries from 2005 to 2006.

After serving as the president of the Korea Maritime University, he played a decent role as an elder in the region, emphasizing the role of Busan as the ocean capital, saying that the only direction Busan should go is ocean and logistics.

In the days of the president of the Maritime University, unlike the usual stuttering at various stages such as festivals, they sang songs in a cool way and were called 'Singing Presidents'.
In the politics of Busan, his politics have his own significance, the local politicians say.

He is the protagonist who made the term 'big solidarity' as a candidate for the mayor of Busan in the local elections in June 2014.

In order to be elected as a candidate for a progressive candidate in Busan at the time, the concept is to run as an independent party rather than a Democratic Party with the name of a Democratic Party.

"To win the election against the Saenuri Party, which has been monopolized for 20 years, only the 'big solidarity' that does not belong to any political party can win the market election," he said.

His strategy also swallowed tears for candidate Byung-soo Seo.

However, in the 2018 local election, after the 3rd and 4th challenge, he occupied the place of Busan Mayor.

At that time, his election was 23 years after the first election of the first local election in 1995, and the combined powers of the former conservative regime's appointed posts were replaced by the power of Busan in 30 years.

He climbed hard to become the mayor of Busan, who had dreamed so much, that he couldn't meet his two years of inauguration and came down from the spot with the disgrace of sexual harassment.
