Ji Sang-wook (Hangul: 지상욱; hanja: 池尙昱; born 16 May 1965) is a South Korean academic and politician in the conservative Saenuri Party. He is currently a member-elect of the National Assembly for Jung and Seongdong, Seoul,[1] and was previously head of the party's district organization in Jung-gu.[2]

Before joining the Saenuri Party, Ji was formerly a spokesman for the Liberty Forward Party,[2] and ran as that party's candidate for Mayor of Seoul in 2010.[3] He was nominated again for the post in 2011 but withdrew before the election took place.[4]

Prior to his entry into politics, Ji was a professor at Yonsei University's Graduate School of International Studies. He studied civil engineering as an undergraduate at Yonsei before earning a masters at Stanford University and a doctorate from the University of Tokyo.[5][6] He met LFP chairman Lee Hoi-chang in the United States after Lee's defeat in the 2002 presidential election,[5] and subsequently served as a close aide to him.[4]
