First of all, if you look at candidate Park Young-seon’s movement today, you can see that he actually made’choice and concentration’ to the youth.
We asked for support by visiting areas where young people often visit, such as Sinchon, Ewha University, Hongdae Street, and Yeonnam-dong.
Candidate Park emphasized that he was confident in creating jobs by creating more than 50,000 new jobs, especially when he was the Minister of SMEs and Startups.
In a situation where dissatisfaction has increased due to soaring house prices, it has also made a pledge to reduce the tax burden.
[박영선 / 더불어민주당 서울시장 후보 : 공시지가 9억 원 이하 주택에 대해서 공시지가 인상률이 10% 수준을 넘지 않도록 조정 제도를 마련하는 방안을 민주당에 강력하게 건의하고 이것을 추진할 것을 건의 드립니다.]
The Democratic Party said that as today is the day of protecting the West Sea, taking into account the atmosphere of commemorating the sacrificial soldiers, it has unfolded a quiet campaign.

This time, we will also look at the situation of Candidate Se-hoon Oh.
I went around the Gangbuk area yesterday, how is it today?

Candidate Se-Hoon Oh, today he moved to the’W-shaped’ movement and carried out campaign activities.
If you look at the areas where Candidate Oh don’t, most of the Democratic Party support is strong, including Guro, a district where Park Young-sun was a congressman at the time.
In the Songpa and Yongsan areas, where active members of the People’s Power are located, they appealed for one vote, mainly focusing on traditional markets.
Candidate Oh launched an offensive saying that the rise in house prices was 100% the fault of President Moon Jae-in, who did not pretend that the government had to supply housing at the beginning of the regime.
He stressed that easing regulations on redevelopment is the solution to soaring real estate prices.
[오세훈 / 국민의힘 서울시장 후보 : 서울에는 (재개발이 필요한) 동네가 많습니다. 수백 군데가 있어요. 전부 계획을 세워서 재건축 재개발 하는 수밖에 없는 거예요. 민간 주도의 재건축, 재개발 사업을 그냥 조합들이 할 수 있도록 하면 됩니다.]
Tomorrow is the first weekend after the official election campaign begins.
