Candidate Se-Hoon Oh, Mayor of the People’s Power of the People, at a cafe in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul <한겨레>I am interviewing with Senior Reporter Kang Chang-Kwang [email protected]
The’week of destiny’ has begun to elect a single opposition candidate for the mayoral election of Seoul. “The second season of Oh Se-hoon will begin.” Regarding the unification of the opposition party with candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, he said, “It was delayed as the two sides argued for a different principle in negotiations, so we are 100% confident in the unification.” On the 12th, after meeting with Candidate Oh at a cafe in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, on the 14th, an additional interview was conducted over the phone.
“100% poll, what I gave to Candidate Ahn”
―After winning the contest, the cry of my eyes caught my attention. Even in the power of the people, an atmosphere of anticipation of victory is detected. “The fact that the citizens believed in me and judged me to be a person who deserved the responsibility made me thrilled. The party also works hard to help. Members of the districts outside of Seoul gathered and thought about’Oh Se-hoon’s victory. I was amazed to hear the talk of making a phone call to my relatives living in Seoul.” ―Do you think that the’Oh Sehun wind’ is blowing on your own? What do you think is the reason? “The atmosphere is heating up little by little. I feel that the atmosphere is turning when I hear the words of support from the young people I meet at a restaurant by chance saying’Please win,’ and the warm encouragement of the citizens. In fact, I’ve never thought of anything like an election strategy. I think that taking steps to win the hearts of citizens is both a degree and a strategy. Maybe you feel that kind of heart.” -We decided to hold a vision presentation on the 15th. Time is tight to even open TV discussions. Is it possible to unify by the 19th? “It’s a problem that the schedule is tight, but things haven’t changed. We will try to keep the unified deadline promised by the 19th as much as possible. ―There is still no consensus on the questionnaire for polls. “Even then, I’m sure it will be 100% unified. You just have to agree one by one in order. After meeting Candidate Ahn, I communicated to our team that ‘100% citizen polls are also available.’ It was my will. Wasn’t that the biggest concession to Candidate Ahn?” -Agreeed with Candidate Ahn and’Seoul City Joint Operation’. What is the specific model? “The two candidates promised to announce the joint management, coalition government methodology as soon as it became unified. Germany can be a good example. It is evaluated that the miracle of the Rhine and unification were possible during the coalition. It may be unfamiliar, but I think that depending on the following, the city of Seoul can also co-operate very successfully. Based on that confidence, it is the first time in the history of Korean politics that I will conduct a political experiment in a local government.”
“Limited to 100 million, loans to small business owners with no interest, no security, and no guarantee for one year”
―’Proficiently from the first day, I put up 4.8.1 (I work from the morning of April 8th) as a catchphrase. The first thing I want to do when becoming the mayor of Seoul is “Corona 19 countermeasures. The bloody tears of small and medium-sized business owners and business people cannot be expressed in words. We will provide practical help to provide loans with a limit of 100 million, one year of interest-free, no-secured, and no-guarantee. We expect collective quarantine to form the latest among the OECD countries. The official in charge will go to the field and create a countermeasure for the corona that fits the characteristics of the industry.” ―What are you envisioning in line with your tenure ten years ago? “(Citizens) picked Dasan Call Center and a city where women were happy as achievements during my tenure. This time, it is expected that the Dasan Call Center will be able to access a system that can respond to civil complaints more quickly and accurately by combining AI and big data. As an extension of the women’s happiness policy, the first policy was to promote the’Special Countermeasures Headquarters for the Protection of Single Persons’. Going the season 2 way can make your administrative approach faster than you think. -It also pledged to lift the height limit on the 35th floor along the Han River. “For example, in Seongdong-gu and Gwangjin-gu, there are skylines over the 35th floor, and Jamsil across the river is a matchbox apartment. When the floor area ratio is increased and a slender building goes up, a wind path can be created and the scenery can be laid out. The skyline along the Han River varies depending on the philosophy and principles of the mayor of Seoul to conceive of urban planning. In the end, isn’t (the current government also) going in that direction? Eventually, you will have no choice but to go in that direction.

―The support of Democratic Party candidate Park Young-sun, who will be the final opponent, is also tough. In what ways do you think Candidate Oh is competitive? “There are many loopholes in Candidate Park’s pledge. Representatively, 21 multi-nuclear cities have been proposed, but specifically, even now, the second month of the election campaign, it is not known where those 21 are. It is difficult to supply 300,000 units of land rental housing for one year and three months. When I see these things, I feel like I am a candidate who is not ready. He is also an insensitive candidate. The victims of the former mayor’s case were entrusted to the aides who called the victims of the’victims’. I doubt whether you are realizing the essence of this election. If it’s a poor commitment, wouldn’t it be worthwhile to stand up for value?” -Eventually, candidates must pass Ahn to run for the main election. What do you see as your strengths compared to Candidate Ahn? “Citizens will see different impressions of the two politicians. Candidate Ahn has demonstrated leadership in the private economic sector and in the company, while I have demonstrated leadership in public organizations. Candidate Ahn once said,’If you know how to swim in the pool, you can swim well in the sea’. The actual experience is different. I think that many citizens will start working on the morning of April 8th and will make wise judgments.” ―Do you think it can be supported by the traditional conservatives in the party? “I don’t worry about that. I am trying to become a mayor who wants to enter the minds of citizens while masking the game over the politics that I put out.”
“Former President Yoon, if we work together, there will be a lot of synergy effect”
―Recently, he said that he communicates with former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, but he said, “I will only tell you that an indirect communication window has been prepared and opinions have begun to exchange. At least, he confirmed his position that he would not be involved in the election of the mayor of Seoul until unification. I think there will be a lot of things we can do together and there will be a lot of synergy.” ―I have a memory of disgraceful resignation from the previous term. How could it be different this time? “I worked as a head for the past term. If you do it again this time, it is’Oh Sehun Season 2′. It will be a period of working with your heart. Over the past 10 years, the appearance of a single building and a road opening came fresh. I spent thinking about why that building and that facility would be built. It is instinctively embodied how citizens can live conveniently. It changed when I sent my father two years ago. The person who walked well died in bed while using a walker, wheelchair, or assistive device, and through the process, I realized the discomfort of the disabled. There was a change of perspective in all areas. This time, I think I can see it from the perspective of a citizen. I will be the mayor who works with my heart. You can look forward to it.” By Kim Mina, staff reporter
