After graduating Seoul Girls' Commercial High School, Moon had worked at Kookmin Bank for three decades.[1] From 2008 to 2011 she led the biggest trade union of Federation of Korean Trade Unions, National Financial industry labour union (Korean: 전국금융산업노동조합),[2] as its senior vice president.[1] Moon holds three degrees - a bachelor in business administration from Korea National Open University, a LLM from Kyung Hee University and a master's in economics from Sogang University.[3]
In the 2012 election, Moon was placed as the number 23 of the proportional representation list of her party but failed to be elected.[4] In 2020 election, Moon ran for the constituency in Goyang[5] represented by Sim Sang-jung from 2012. Although they were neck and neck in the opinion polls, Moon was defeated by Sim[6] who, according to Moon, has not done anything for the constituency but being the loud mouth and would not be supportive of making Moon Jae-in administration successful.[7]
Moon previously worked for Moon Jae-in's presidential campaigns as the chair of special committee for Financial Economy in 2012 and Financial Consumer Protection in 2017. She is now an advisor to government finance institutions - Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation and Korea Inclusive Finance Agency - and a special member of Presidential Committee for Balanced National Development. She is well known to party members for greeting then-former party leader Moon Jae-in at the Incheon International Airport by herself when he returned to Seoul from Himalayas in 2016.[8]
From 2019 Moon has served as one of vice chairs of Policy Planning Committee of Democratic Party and a member of financial stability task force of its COVID-19 committee.[9]
