Lee Ki-poong (20 December 1896 – 28 April 1960) was a South Korean politician and Vice President elect. He was the Minister of National Defense (May 7, 1951 – March 29, 1952) and Mayor of Seoul (June 6, 1949 – May 8, 1951). He was the leader of Liberal Party and supporter of Syngman Rhee (as a President). By the 1954 election, Lee became the most prominent member of the Liberal Party.[1] The Liberal Party held power from 1948 to 1960.
On March 15, 1960, South Korea held a presidential election. The Liberal Party, which included Syngman Rhee and Lee Ki-poong, won by a very wide margin and was accused of electoral fraud. As a result, the April Revolution took place in April 1960. President Rhee resigned on April 26, 1960. Lee Ki-poong's family also resigned.
On April 28, 1960, in an annex of Rhee's mansion, Lee Ki-poong's first son, Lee Kang-seok (1937 – April 28, 1960) shot Lee Ki-poong and his family and then killed himself in a murder–suicide.[2][3]
