SEOUL - After political science student Noh Seo-jin finished class on Tuesday , the 19-year-old headed out for the last time to a campaign event with a yellow campaign jacket in her backpack and ambi

tions of becoming the Seoul city council's youngest member.

"I have a longer political career than President Yoon Suk-yeol," she said, highlighting the new South Korean leader's lack of political experience when he entered politics in June of last year, and went on to win his election this March. Mr Yoon won 58 per cent of men in their 20s, while liberal Lee Jae-myung gained the same percentage of women, according to exit polls. Mr Yoon prevailed in the election by a margin of just 0.7 per cent.

She has vowed to become an advocate for teenagers, who she said have been little represented in decisions on education and other policies that directly affect their everyday lives. "The main question is whether they will be able to gain experience here and advance to the country's main political scene," he said.
