People Power Party Seoul mayoral candidate Oh Se-hoon resumed his official campaign on the 29th, visiting traditional markets and a college district to meet residents. Oh appealed, "Please join me in creating a hopeful future for Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea."
That morning, Oh began his stump speeches in the northern part of the city, starting in Dobong District. Speaking from a campaign truck in front of Chang-dong Station on Seoul Subway Line No. 4, Oh said, "Everyone, do you remember that when I returned as mayor, I eased the floor area ratio along the slopes of Bukhansan Mountain to spur development in Dobong-gu and Gangbuk-gu, and that we picked apartment complexes undergoing reconstruction and kicked off the refurbishing projects with real momentum?" He added, "Who do you think worked the hardest to make that happen?"
Oh also criticized his rival, Chong Won-o, citing the TV debate held the previous day. "Because of greater charges tied to regulations in the capital region, there are cases where office facilities cannot enter Seoul when companies try to set up here," he said. "So I asked (Chong) an easy question about how he would solve that problem. I asked about a solution that any Seoul mayor should obviously know, but he oddly burned 30 seconds and ended by saying he would create a special zone in Yongsan-gu."
Oh said, "If there are regulations on the capital region, areas in the north of the river, including the northeastern belt, cannot develop," adding, "Hearing that answer, I got a strong feeling that there is 'no sincerity about developing the north of the river' from the start." He continued, "Even if your head is packed with ideas on how to develop the northeast, it is hard to execute them. If someone whose thoughts are not organized becomes mayor, can we count on development in the northeastern belt and Chang-dong?"
Oh visited Yonsei University in Sinchon, Seodaemun District, to meet students. In front of Star Plaza in Sinchon, Seodaemun District, he said, "Since we are in front of a college district, I see many young people and students, so I will talk about the future of the nation," adding, "The Republic of Korea is a country on the threshold of the developed world, and it must move from economic growth to mature prosperity."
He went on, "Through Seoul Learn, I successfully restored the ladder of social mobility through public education," adding, "Since three years ago, more than 920 students have been able to enter good universities this year through Seoul Learn."
Oh appealed, "The future of the Republic of Korea is built by healthy young people," adding, "I will overwhelmingly complete Seoul as a special city of a healthier and warmer quality of life."
Kwon O-yun (22), a Yonsei University student who listened to Oh's speech, said, "Oh Se-hoon knows Seoul's various sectors—employment, real estate, and transportation—and has guided them flexibly," adding, "Some criticize it as showy administration, but after visiting the Garden of Thanks on a weekend and taking the Hangang bus, I think these were policies that went beyond showy administration to ones residents could feel in their daily lives."
