Kim Sunmin

Kim Sunmin is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Kim Sunmin rather than just read about it. In short: Kim Sun-min (Korean: 김선민; Hanja: 金宣旼; born 24 May 1964) is a South Korean health care expert and politician who served as the acting leader of the Rebuilding Korea Party from 2024 to 2025. Previously, she served as the President of Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) from April 2020 to March 2023.

Key takeaways

Kim Sunmin belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Kim Sunmin to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Kim Sunmin from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Kim Sun-min (Korean: 김선민; Hanja: 金宣旼; born 24 May 1964) is a South Korean health care expert and politician who served as the acting leader of the Rebuilding Korea Party from 2024 to 2025. Previously, she served as the President of Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) from April 2020 to March 2023. She was the first woman to lead HIRA since its creation in 2000. Before being promoted as its 10th president, Kim was the Executive Director of Planning for HIRA, the agency's de facto vice-president. Kim's background consists primarily of work in various inter-government and government institutions. She was a senior researcher at Korea Health Industry Development Institute from 1999 to 2001 and human rights researcher at National Human Rights Commission from 2001 to 2004. She took numerous roles in HIRA since 2006 when she was first joined the institution as a member of its Review and Assessment Committee. She also worked as a senior technical officer at World Health Organization's Department of Service Delivery and Safety from 2016 to 2018. Kim represented HIRA and Korea at OECD Health Care Quality and Outcome (HCQO) Working Group from 2009 and became its chair in 2018 becoming the first Asian-country-national and first woman to lead the HCQO Working Group. She holds three degrees from Seoul National University - M.D and master's and doctorate in preventative medicine. She was previously an assistant professor at Hallym University and affiliate professor at Catholic University of Korea.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kim Sunmin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kim Sunmin claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kim Sunmin before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kim Sunmin ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kim Sunmin

In research: Kim Sunmin appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kim Sunmin in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kim Sunmin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1964 births, Academic staff of the Catholic University of Korea, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kim Sunmin outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
