“When a lying candidate becomes the mayor, there is nothing to teach the children.” (Park Young-sun, Mayor of the Democratic Party, Mayor of Seoul)
“Isn’t Park’s existence itself a lie?” (Candidate Se-hoon Oh, Mayor of the People’s Power of Seoul)
Candidate Park Young-seon and Oh Se-hoon, who ran for the 4/7 Seoul Mayor’s by-election, raised their voices toward the other party on the 5th. The last TV debate before the election, it is also a free debate on the subject of’public welfare. The two candidates also confronted whether or not policies such as real estate pledges could be realized, but as a result, they focused on suspicious battles and consequently became a debate in which only emotional battles emerged.
“My relationship with MB” “Being itself is a lie”
The battle between Park and Candidate Oh, who was trying to highlight Oh’s allegations of speculation on the land in Naegok-dong, continued on this day. When Candidate Park lifted a hand sign that summarized Oh’s suspicion of’self-acceptance’ in Naegok-dong, Candidate Oh also prepared the title of’Comparison of major issues related to Naegok-dong’ with Candidate Park’s arguments and clarifications. I prepared a hand sign.
Candidate Park continued insisting that Candidate Oh knew the development plan before his wife’s land was included in the development district, using the policy verification discussion time, which examines the other candidate’s core policies for 10 minutes. Candidate Park argued that Oh served as the spokesperson for the Mayor of Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-bak in 2002, and that the application for the development of a housing site in Naegok-dong was in office as mayor Lee Myung-bak, and that he had “conversed with the former mayor of Lee Myung-bak.” Later, referring to the alleged manipulation of the BBK stock price by former President Lee Myung-bak, he said, “Is Candidate Oh a set with former President Lee Myung-bak?”
Candidate Oh did not stand still. In a free discussion where 10 minutes of speech time is guaranteed per candidate, Candidate Oh devoted 3 minutes and 40 seconds to explaining the allegations of Naegok-dong. He responded to Park’s offensive that his explanation was’a lie’, saying, “Park’s existence itself is a lie.” In October of last year, the Democratic Party revised the party constitution, saying,’If the party’s elected office is held in re-election due to a major mistake, the party will not give a candidate.’

When Candidate Park continued his offensive on the suspicion of Candidate Oh’s land in Naegok-dong, Candidate Oh replied, “Are you not interested in public welfare. Is it related to the ecological bath?” After measuring the land in Naegok-dong in 2005 with his wife and his wife, Candidate Oh pinpointed the Democratic Party’s claim that he ate at a nearby ecological bathhouse. Candidate Park was beaten by saying, “I can do that. Thank you for teaching me.”
From the public announcement price to the Yongsan disaster…Real estate workshop
In the real estate policy debate, Candidate Oh launched an offensive first. Candidate Oh pointed out the reality of Park’s supply measures and the gap between the government and ruling party’s real estate policy. By contrasting Candidate Park’s pledge to limit the rate of increase in the public announcement price of less than 900 million won by 10% and the current government disclosure plan (90% reflecting actual transaction price), he asked, “Isn’t there a mistake in the calculation?” Candidate Park replied, “It means that the government and Seoul will discuss and improve.”
Candidate Park criticized Oh’s policy to ease regulations on reconstruction and redevelopment, referring to the Yongsan disaster that occurred during his tenure as Mayor Oh. Candidate Park said, “If you omit the resident consent procedure, something like the Yongsan disaster could happen. This is why residents demonstrated in front of the city hall during the days of’Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon’.” Candidate Oh replied, “We have to pay the tenant a sufficient amount of compensation for relocation.”

An awkward smile flowed during the’one minute praise’ time for the opponent’s candidate. Candidate Park said to Candidate Oh, “She has an excellent sense of speech and fashion,” and Oh said to Candidate Park, “If you become a model as an active politician, you will become a good role model for young women.”
