Hwang Woo-yea (Korean: 황우여, Hanja: 黃祐呂; born 3 August 1947) is a Korean jurist, politician, and former chairman of the Saenuri Party.[1][2] As of 2012[update] Hwang represents the electorate centred on Yeonsu District, Incheon in the National Assembly of South Korea.[2]

Hwang studied law at Seoul National University.[2] He was a judge in courts in Seoul and other jurisdictions[which?] in South Korea before entering politics.[1] Hwang has been elected to the constituency he represents five times.[1][2]

In 2016 Hwang placed third on the Rainbow Vote list of 22 most homophobic politicians. He is well known for his role as the chair of the National Breakfast Prayer Committee meeting and as a key architect of anti-gay legislations in Korea.
