In addition, there were no surprises in the Democratic Party’s 4·7 Seoul Mayor by-election candidates. Former Minister of Small and Medium Venture Business Park Young-sun entered the final election of the mayor of Seoul after three days.
The Democratic Party’s Central Party Election Commission announced the results of the Seoul Mayor’s election at the Democratic Party in Yeouido, Seoul on the 1st. Former Minister Park was elected as the final candidate after defeating Democratic Party lawmaker Sang-ho Woo (30.44%) with a final vote rate of 69.56%. In the opinion polls of the rights party and general citizens, which are reflected by 50%, former Minister Park greatly surpassed Congressman Woo, with 63.54% and 72.48%, respectively. On top of that, he won the female extra point (10% of the vote).
In his speech to accept the candidate’s acceptance, Minister Park said, “We will solve the problems of Seoul with proven administrative power, proven achievements and momentum as a minister.” “Asia’s best democratic city, Seoul, an open city where people all over the world want to live, Park Young-sun will make sure with the citizens of Seoul.”
Then, former Minister Park said, “Political conflict brings destruction and retreat. Seoul is not an object of political conflict,” he said. “This election is an election that determines the fortunes of Korea in Seoul and sets the future coordinates of the world standard city’K City’ Seoul.” It is interpreted as an attempt to block the regime judgment theory raised by the opposition.
Instead, ▶ 21-minute compact city ▶ Half-price apartments and public rental housing ▶ Interest-free loans for youth and small business owners ▶ Free meals for kindergartens, etc. I will return it.”
Former Minister Park declared his run on January 26, more than a month later than Rep. Woo, but formed a popular opinion early with the support of members of the Moon Jae-in government and key members of the provincial government. A first-choice lawmaker in Seoul said, “Park’s competitiveness in the main election was higher, giving the impression that it is highly recognized and can be held halfway.”
Former Minister Park, a former MBC reporter, entered politics in 2004 as a spokesman for the Uri Party. He served as the 4th elected member of the Democratic Party’s Policy Committee and the House Representative, and after being appointed as the Minister of the Middle and High in April 2019, he refused to run for the 21st general election. Although he challenged the mayor of Seoul in the 2011 by-election (unification of the opposition by candidate Park Won-soon) and the 2018 local election (withdrawal from the contest), this is the first time in the final election. The election activities will begin for 38 days until the day of the 4·7 by-election voting.
Unification of pan-passports started
The task that former Minister Park will face right now is the unification of the pan-passport. The’absorption theory’ that the supporters should be gathered in order to confront a single opposition candidate who was inspired by the regime judgment theory has grown. The Democratic Party has tentatively agreed to complete the unification before the 8th (limitation for resigning from the post of Congress to run for mayor of Seoul) with Rep. Jo Jung-hoon Cho.

However, both the timing and method of unification have not yet been agreed with the Open Democratic Party member Kim Jin-ae. On the 28th of last month, Rep. Kim reversed the proposal for a one-on-one bilateral unification with the Democratic Party candidate, saying, “I oppose the simultaneous trilateral unification of the Democratic Party and Rep. Cho.” In a broadcast interview right after the election of the candidate, former Minister Park said, “I met with Candidate Jo Jung-hoon twice and made a phone call with Candidate Jin-ae Kim. I think it would be right to follow it as the party decides.”
The Democratic Party’s concern is the negative impact that would occur if Congressman Kim played Mongni. A member of the Democratic Party’s Seoul Election Planning Team said, “It’s a defense war-like election, so if it looks like a merger, it’s counterproductive.”
Three mountains in front of Park Young-seon… Won-soon Park, Corona, Real Estate
Former Minister Park’s prospects for the final election are not bright. The opposition is in a moment to bite the sexual scandal of the late Mayor Park Won-soon, who was the reason for the by-election, throughout the election. In the contest, former Minister Park refrained from commenting on related matters, saying, “Mayor Park has led the welfare system in Seoul.” A first-choice lawmaker in Seoul’s Democratic Party said, “How wisely, former minister Park, a female candidate, will deal with the opposition offensive, will determine the direction of women and youth votes.”

Real estate problems in Seoul, such as soaring house prices and the jeonse riot, are the exposed Achilles case of the Democratic Party candidate, and the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) can also negatively affect the rate of spread and the progress of vaccination. However, the 4th disaster support fund of 1,950 trillion won, which is expected to be paid before the 4/7 by-election, and the vote of small business owners that he cultivated as the minister of the mid-term and mid-term are the assets of former Minister Park.
On the same day, National Assembly Representative Ahn Chul-soo won the unification race with former Congressman Tae-seop Geum. On the 4th, when a candidate for the Mayor of Seoul, the power of the people, is elected, a single candidate for opposition will be elected. A re-elected member of the Democratic Party said, “It would be nice to have a three-way structure, but if there is a bilateral confrontation, it will be a difficult election no matter who comes up against it.”
