“I can manage myself” “v is Virtual” “A good workman”
[아시아경제 박준이 기자] In the midst of the fierce heat of the Seoul Mayor’s by-election contest, there was a lot of controversy as attention was paid to the words of each candidate, from’Nakyung’ to’queer festival’ remarks. However, each candidate responded with a strategy to’break through the front’ to the controversy surrounding them.
The power of the people will be announced on the 4th of next month, and the preliminary candidates of Ahn Chul-soo and Geum Tae-seop will be announced on the 1st, so it is attracting attention whether the’sincerity strategy’ of the opposition candidates will be expressed as votes.
“Is it Na Kyung-won or Na management?” vs “I can manage myself”

On the 5th, Shin Won-hwan’s Preliminary Candidate for People’s Strength became a hot topic by criticizing “Na Kyung-won or Na-kyung? This mocked President Heo Kyung-won as’Na Kyung-won’, emphasizing that candidate Na Kyung-won’s pledge was unrealistic. Candidate Shin-Hwan Oh said, “(Candidate Na Kyung-won) said that he would reduce property tax, cultivation tax, and transfer tax, and at the same time support 17 million won for newlyweds who marry and have their first child. It should be done.”
Afterwards, as the remarks of’Na Kyung-won’ continued among the candidates, candidate Na Kyung-won appeared on the cbs radio’Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’ on the 9th and refuted head-on, saying, “I think it is okay to be’Na Kyung-young’ for future generations.” He re-emphasized the validity of the pledge, saying, “If a young man lives in the house, gets married and gives birth to a child, the maximum amount of interest support is 117 million won.”
However, despite the refutation of Candidate Gyeong-won Na,’Na Kyung-young’ was frequently mentioned in the debate. In the second confrontation debate on the 19th, preliminary candidate Cho Eun-hee recalled the remarks of’Na Kyung-won’ and said, “I thought it was a metaphor when Candidate Shin-Hwan Oh said’Na Gyeong-won’ toward Candidate Na Gyeong-won. I am worried that it will be,” he criticized. Preliminary candidate Oh Se-hoon also devalued candidate Na Gyeong-won’s real estate policy, saying, “This is why the story of Na management comes out” in the 3rd confrontation discussion on the 23rd.

Candidate Se-Hoon Oh suffered from’V controversy’ in the early stages of the contest. On the morning of the 2nd, he posted the title of the North Korean nuclear power plant construction document released by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy through Facebook. He raised the question, saying that the initial’v’ means’Vip’. Candidate Se-hoon Oh said, “We know that we have often referred to the president as Vip,” and emphasized that “after all, the parties will know what the’v’ refers to and what it means in the government.”
The offensive continued within and outside the politics over such remarks. On this day, Park Joo-min, a Democratic Party lawmaker, said through Facebook that “everyone will know that it is the’v’ of’Version’.” The controversy continued as netizens made ridicule even online.
However, Candidate Se-hoon Oh also tried to break through the controversy head-on by bringing out’v controversy’ by himself. In the’v-Seoul Project’ video released on YouTube on the 26th, he marked the’v’ with his finger and said, “Here, V is not VIP, but Virtual Seoul.”
“I will choose the market of a work-around solver, not a commentator who is good at speaking.”

Ahn Cheol-soo, the preliminary candidate of the National Assembly Party, stood at the center of the controversy with a remark that he has the right to reject the queer festival in which LGBTQ people gather. On the 18th, when candidate Geum Tae-seop asked candidate Geum Tae-seop in the first TV debate with candidate Geum Tae-seop, he said, “There are people who don’t want (queer festival).” I think I do,” he said.
After the remark, voices criticized Ahn Chul-soo’s human rights sensibility in the political and civil society. In addition, as the controversy over the queer festival and the controversial remarks in the TV debate during the past election were re-examined, comments that’the debate skills are weak’ followed.
On the 26th, the day after the second discussion, Candidate Chul-soo Ahn appeared on ytn radio’Hwang Bo-seon’s starting morning’ and refuted that “the important thing is authenticity and problem-solving ability.” He said, “I will select the market for solvers, not commentators,” he stressed, “If so, I am the right person.”
