The 4·7 re-election, which received hot attention through the’mini presidential class’ election, ended with an overwhelming victory from the people. With the colorful lights turned off, what would the candidates of the mayor of Seoul look like the next day? Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon (the power of the people), who became the protagonist of the overwhelming victory, returned to work at the Seoul City Hall after 10 years on the 8th and made a determination to keep the election slogan of’Skillfully from the first day’. On the same day, the Democratic Party candidate Park Young-sun said, “Let’s meet again at Gwanghwamun on March 9, next year (the presidential election day)” at the camp dismissal ceremony. By recreating the government in the next presidential election, it is to wash away the pain of this bitter defeat. Ahn Cheol-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, who drank a bitter cup in the unification contest with Mayor Oh, pledged to do a “constant politics of sincerity in the future” based on the picture of Chusa Kim Jeong-hee, which implies the meaning of “consistent”. Good morning. This is Narae Jang, a political team covering various elections and all kinds of matters in the National Assembly. Do you know the song’After the play is over’? This song was first introduced at the University Song Festival in 1980, and then entered the ranks of’Legends’ with the lyrics “Have you ever seen a stage with the lights turned off after the play was over”. This song came to mind after the Seoul Mayor’s election was over because I felt that the election board left by the candidates who were leading actors was like a’lit out stage’. The main actors who cried and laughed on the stage where the political symbolism of the’by-election’ was large, went back to their assigned positions and decided to start anew. The political gains and losses of each candidate were different, but they all left the stage with a bright future and hope. However, some people look at the empty stage without healing the wounds sustained by the main actors during the election process. Some faced brutal secondary assaults throughout the election, and others denied their existence. The most frequent forcible summons in this election was former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, a sexual harassment victim. Despite the repression of candidate Park Young-sun, passport officials, including former president Lim Jong-seok, took the lead in the second offense and tried to mobilize supporters. Rep. Nam In-soon, Jin Seon-mi, and Ko Kom-jung, who said that the victims should be called the victims, joined the Democratic Party’s camp. Eventually, when the victim held a press conference during the election and appealed that “there are a lot of people who have hurt me in the election camp now,” the so-called “three victims of victims” resigned belatedly. In this situation, it was difficult to find serious reflections and alternatives to power-type sex crimes. Candidate Se-hoon Oh summoned the victims of the Yongsan disaster in 12 years. On the 31st of last month, at the government officials debate inviting the Mayor of Seoul, he said that the Yongsan disaster was “a case caused by the police force to suppress excessive and careless acts of violence.” The bereaved family visited the scene of the tragedy again and said, “I came down as a carcass from the watchtower where I went up to live. How can I blame the victims for the tragedy?” he cried out. In the end, Candidate Oh apologized, but it seems difficult to avoid criticism that he distorted the truth of the incident during his tenure as mayor and overthrew responsibility on victims. Candidate Oh was criticized for being criticized for’discrimination against the disabled’ after putting up a curtain of reconsideration of the construction of the’Ullim Plaza’ in Gangseo-gu, Seoul as a local pledge. The facility is the nation’s first cultural welfare facility for both the disabled and the non-disabled, and is about to be completed in February 2024. CEO Ahn Chul-soo, who played a fiercely unified contest with Candidate Oh, said in a TV debate that “the right to reject the queer festival in Gwanghwamun should also be respected”, criticizing that it promotes LGBT hatred. What is the reason for the remarks of sniping someone during the election season like this? If it wasn’t for the calculation that opposition and discrimination against the socially underprivileged or minority groups could be rather politically beneficial, there would be no reason for such remarks to come out during an election season where one vote is unfortunate. From a strategic point of view, if it helps you win, you will be willing to stand on the side of hatred. It should be remembered that the power to keep them from falling into the temptation of’parting the side’ is ultimately in the audience, the voters. After a play called elections, the power to leave the stage together without the wounded is in our’one vote’. By Jang Na-rae, political team reporter
